LAGAWE, Ifugao -- The provincial  government  honored two Ifugaos  of the  Fallen “SAF (Special Action Forces ) 44”   for sacrificing their lives  in  performance of  their duties.

Posthumous commendations were awarded to family representatives of the late P03 Robert Allaga and P02 Franklin Danao in a ceremony held at the provincial capitol attended by hundreds of national and provincial employees.

Allaga was from  Poitan, Banaue while  Danao  was a native of  Binablayan, Tinoc.

They were   among the 44 Philippine National Police-SAF commandos  who were killed in an encounter at Masampano, Maguindanao last Jan. 25 with Muslim rebels.

The  bereaved families also received financial assistance of P60,000 each.

The P50,000 came from the Department of Social Welfare  and Development and P10,000 from the provincial government through the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office.

PSWD officer Joseline Niwane said their office is set to conduct counseling and assessment among families  for possible assistance.


The families of the two slain SAF commandos are pressing justice for their loved ones.
