MANILA, Philippines — Two persons who surrendered under Oplan Tokhang in 2016 in Kalinga, a barangay captain in Palawan and a suspected drug dealer in Cavite were shot dead in separate incidents in the past two days.
Silver Pukin, 36, and Dexter Buslig, 41, were shot by unidentified men in Barangay Dagupan Centro, Tabuk. They were pronounced dead on arrival at the Kalinga Provincial Hospital.
