The victims, Rolando Kupasan and Cirilo Dramos, were known political supporters of North Cotabato Gov. Emmanuel Piñol, popular for his iron-fisted policy in dealing with lawless elements in his province.
Police and military investigators said Kupasan and Dramos were seized last Sunday by MILF commander Bukanig Bangon and his followers in Kudarangan, a remote barangay in Midsayap.
The bodies of Kupasan and Dramos were later found in a muddy area in the boundary of Midsayap and Datu Piang, Maguindanao. John Unson
