Tabuk City, Kalinga – They waited for nearly a decade for their family member to come home, but when he did, he was already inside a casket.


This was what happened to the Andel family, who broke into tears after their kin, Didi a.k.a Sisoy, one of the slain cadres in Baggao, Cagayan, was taken home to Davao Del Norte on February 24.

Sisoy passed away after the armed encounter with the military in Sta. Margarita, Baggao on February 13. He was the Squad Leader of the dismantled Komiteng Probinsya-Isabela.


His remains were flown back home by the C295 aircraft of the Philippine Air Force, the 10th Infantry Division reported.


In a video uploaded on Facebook, the Andel family couldn’t contain their grief, with one of them crying his sentiments against the New People’s Army due to the tragic fate of Sisoy.


The slain cadre’s father conveyed they have been waiting for him for 9 years to return home.


Meantime, Sisoy’s brother, Jimboy acknowledged the Armed Forces of the Philippines for bringing the body of their brother to Davao Del Norte.


"Dako kaayo among pasalamat sir sa inyoha. Bisan sakit na sa among dughan, pero wala na mi mahimo, dawaton na lang gyud namo (We thank you very much sir. Even though it hurts, but there's nothing we can do. We need to accept what happened)," he was quoted saying.
