The 27th Infantry Battalion assigned in Sitio Datal-Alyong of Kimlawis village in Kiblawan, Davao del Sur claimed that Juvy Capion and her sons died during a clash with a band of armed tribesmen led by Juvy's husband, Daguil. Daguil, leader of the B'laan tribesmen, took up arms to oppose the mining project of Sagittarius Mines in the area.
Anybody with a sane mind would consider this explanation as one of the most flimsy excuses that a guilty conscience can concoct when pressured by several stakeholders and media groups. It raises a lot of questions and cast doubts on the military's strategy in dealing with armed groups when innocent civilians are present and on their commitment to equally protect the citizens of this country, whether they belong to a B'laan tribe or to a mining company.
