An official of the Department of Education (DepEd) was shot dead on Wednesday by unidentified gunmen in Guihulngan City, Negros Oriental.

In a "Balita Pilipinas" report on Thursday by GMA News' JP Soriano, the victim was identified as Administrative Officer 3 Oscar Solania Asildo Jr., 46.

Initial investigation said Asildo was about to board his vehicle when suspects approached and fired shots at him. The suspects immediately escaped using a white car.

The local government appealed to the suspects to stop the killings as shooting incidents continue to increase in the area.

"Ilan na ang nangyayaring pagpatay sa Guihulngan. I am now appealing to both groups, kung sino man ang gumawa nito, itigil na ninyo 'yan," said Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo.

Guihulngan City Police admitted that it is difficult for them to idnetify the killers because there are nobody has come forward to say they witnessed the shooting incident.

Meanwhile, the DepEd condemned the killing of Asildo as they described the official as a "significant loss" to the agency.

"The Department decries all forms of violence, especially those that imperil the lives and well-being of our learners, teachers, and personnel. More than ever, we uphold the sanctity of peace in schools and emphasize the crucial role of the community in ensuring that security is maintained in every environment where values of the youth are molded," the agency said in a statement.

"A devoted father that he was is an even greater loss to his two small children. Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones, who just recently met Asildo, shares the bereavement of his family and offers her sincerest condolences on behalf of DepEd," it added.

DepEd called on local government officials to conduct probe on the incident. They vowed to help in the investigation of Asildo's killing.

"As in similar incidents, we enjoin everyone to contribute in respecting schools as zones of peace and ensuring that law and order truly prevails in all communities," the agency said. — Anna Felicia Bajo/BAP, GMA News
