Another child was wounded in the assault. The brutal attack, which nearly wiped out the family, has prompted a full-scale police investigation to identify the perpetrators and determine the motive behind the heinous crime.
The ambush occurred in broad daylight in Barangay Nalinan, Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao del Norte.
According to a report from GMA Regional TV One Mindanao, the family was aboard a tricycle driven by the father when unidentified assailants opened fire on them.

Police Lieutenant Colonel Jopy Ventura, spokesperson for PRO-BAR, confirmed that the motive for the attack and the identities of the suspects remain unknown.
Sa ngayon, unidentified pa yung suspects natin, same with the motives," Lt. Col. Ventura stated. Investigators are looking into all possible angles, including personal disputes, land conflicts, or a history of clan feuds, locally known as "rido," that could have led to the ambush.
