According to <\/span>Lt. Col. Dominador Palgan Jr.<\/b>, Kidapawan City police chief, <\/span>Mohammad Jalaluddin Mandangan<\/b> and <\/span>Benhur Piang<\/b> died instantly due to bullet wounds they sustained in the ambush.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The two victims were senior employees at the <\/span>2nd District Engineering Office<\/b> of <\/span>DPWH-12<\/b> in Cotabato province.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

They were riding in a <\/span>white Toyota Hilux pick-up truck<\/b> driven by Mandangan. They were on their way to their office after attending the <\/span>Friday worship rite<\/b> at a mosque in Kidapawan City. While on the way, they were suddenly shot by armed men riding a motorcycle.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Due to the bullet wound to the head, Mandangan lost control of the steering wheel, causing their vehicle to crash into an <\/span>electric post<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
