Philippine colonel celebrating Father's Day gunned down
[Gulf Today] Motorcycle-riding gunmen shot and killed a Philippine Army colonel in front of his house while he celebrated Father's Day with his family in Zamboanga City. Police chief Luisito Magnaye identified the victim as Cristobal Julian Perez, the personnel head of the army's First Infantry Division based in the town of Lubanga, Zamboanga del Sur.

Magnaye said one of two motorcycle-riding gunmen gunned Perez down outside his house in a village in Zamboanga City late on Sunday night. He said Perez was a veteran in the anti-terror campaign that led in the killing of of Malaysian bomb expert Mohammad Najib Huesein alias Abu Sabas in Basilan in 2015. At that time, Perez was the battalion commander assigned to Basilan to rid the island province of the Abu Sayyaf and other terrorist groups.

Magnaye said that Perez went home to celebrate Father's Day with his wife and their three children on Sunday. Shortly before 10 p.m. Sunday, his wife told the police that Perez left the house after receiving a telephone call from an unidentified person. While conversing with the suspected gunman, shots suddenly rang out, based on the testimony of the victim's widow.
