FAREWELL TO A HERO—A soldier stands guard as Army chief Lt. Gen. Delfin Bangit (center) and Major Gen. Arturo Ortiz pay their respects to 1Lt. Dhell Jhun Evangelista, one of the casualties during the recent fierce gunbattle between the military and the Abu Sayyaf group in Tipo-Tipo, Basilan. Evangelista, a member of the Mandirigmang Dangal ng Lahi (MANDALA) Class 2006 of the Philippine Military Academy, was a native of San Quintin, where he was laid to rest with full military honors. The AFP is recommending him for the Medal of Valor, the highest military honor. (Punchphoto by Cesar S. Ramirez)
