Budbud Osting, a 65-year-old member of the tribal organization in the Philippine Mindoro Oriental province, was beheaded allegedly by soldiers of the Philippine Army's 16th Infantry Battalion.
More than a hundred Mangyan families left the province in October as six battalions of military and police were deployed in the province, accusing natives of being sympathizers and members of the New People's Army (NPA).
Many in the province believe that the increased military presence has a lot to do with the planned reopening of a $21-million, 9,700-hectare nickel and cobalt mine project taken over by Canadian firm Crew Minerals.
