Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) spokesperson Marco Valbuena, however, alleged that Madlos and Salinas were “abducted” and “summarily executed” – contrary to the military’s report that the two were killed during a clash.

“We urge the family and friends of the victims to immediately demand the AFP to release the bodies of Vincent and Angie to allow them to properly grieve. They can also avail of the option of having an independent pathologist study their cadavers in order to determine the actual circumstances surrounding their deaths,” the CPP spokesperson said in a statement on Monday.
