ZAMBOANGA CITY - Two Philippine Navy personnel were killed when the motorcycle they are riding collided head-on with a Mitsubishi Montero along the national highway in front of the barangay hall of Recudo, Zamboanga City at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Zamboanga City police investigators identified the driver of the motorcyle as Engineman 3rd Class Arnulfo Vasquez, 35, of Dapitan City.
The name of the other victim is still withheld as his relatives are yet to be informed of the incident.
The two Navy personnel are both assigned at Naval Installation Facility-Western Mindanao.
