Gen. Cirilito Sobejana, commander of the military&#x27;s Western Mindanao Command.&quot;Dahil sa may iba&#x27;t ibang bersyon, nag-request po ako ng National Bureau of Investigation dito sa Region 9 na magsagawa ng kaukulang imbestigasyon... Kailangan independent o third-party para po ma-uphold natin ang impartiality,&quot; he told ABS-CBN&#x27;s TeleRadyo.(Because there are different versions of the incident, I requested the NBI in Region 9 to conduct a probe. It needs to be independent or done by a third-party so we can uphold impartiality.)The slain soldiers had ranks of major, captain, sergeant and corporal, he said. Sobejana declined to give additional details, saying he did not want to preempt the investigation.<div>TeleRadyo, June 30, 2020</div>
