Ordered relieved by 10th Infantry Division commander Brigadier General Ariel Bernardo were 1Lt. Dante Jimenez, commanding officer of Bravo Company of the 27th Infantry Battalion, and members of the seven-man squad who were all directly involved in the operation. Bernardo said Lt. Col. Noel Alexis Bravo was also placed under investigation but said the officer was not relieved from his post. He said the investigation will determine if there is a need to impose sanctions on him. Bravo earlier said that his men were dispatched to Kimlawis village in Kiblawan town last Thursday morning to check a reported presence of armed men. As they were approaching a hut, he said the soldiers were fired upon. The fighting resulted in the killing of Juvy Capeon, the wife of the group leader Daquil Capeon; and their teenager-sons Pop and John; and wounding of the couple's seven-year-old daughter, Vicky. more

Photo from LRC-KSK [Share This] InterAksyon.com The online news portal of TV5 MANILA, Philippines - In an attempt to rebuild ties with the local populace, the Philippine Army's 10th Infantry Division pulled out all its personnel from the 27th Infantry Battalion in Kiblawan, Davao del Sur following the death of a pregnant B'laan woman and her two children aged 13 and eight years old last month. Lt. Col. Lyndon Paniza, spokesman of the 10th ID, on Monday said the pull outtook effect last November 1. He said the 27th IB was replaced by the 39th Infantry Battalion. The pull out stemmed from a dialogue with tribal leaders in the area last October 31 on the death of Juvy Capion and her children Pop and John. Juvy is the wife of Daguil Capion, a tribal leader whom the Army hastagged as a bandit. The three were killed following an operation by the military last October. Militant groups tagged the incident as a massacre but the Army has maintained that it was a legitimate encounter. "This is to appease the residents there, to help them forget theincident," Paniza told reporters. Earlier, the 10th ID said 27th IB's commander, Lt. Col. Alexis Bravo, also resigned from his post. Thirteen other soldiers from the battalion are also facing court martial proceedings due to operational lapses. The pull out of the 27th IB also covers the area of Columbio, Sultan Kudarat and Tampakan, South Cotabato. http://www.interaksyon.com/article/47262/troop-blamed-for-death-of-blaans-pulls-out-of-davao-del-sur-town-other-areas-in-mindanao
