The public information officer of CASFA and CHW, Ronaldo Capitanea, who drives a passenger motorcycle for a living, was shot on 23 February at around 6:25 AM, while on his way to pick up a regular passenger. When he was driving along the road in Hacienda Mabuhay in Brgy. Gil Montilla, Sipalay City, two men on board a black DT motorcycle shot him at close range. He was hit on the upper right side of his back and the bullet exited on the upper right chest. However, he mustered his strength, drove his motorcycle fast and tried to look back to see his assailants. He saw that they were chasing and shooting at him again. By sheer willpower, he drove his motorcycle all the way to his passenger’s house in Brgy. Canturay, which is a kilometer away from the place of incident. Upon reaching the place, he fell to the ground. His passenger immediately brought him to a nearby clinic but due to his critical condition, he was later transferred to the regional hospital.
