Groups at any camp in Mindanao and intends to die as a martyr of
Islam.
He was reported by
residents of Ormoc City for recruiting locals to convert to Islam.

and the main suspect in the Hilongos bombing last December 2016, and
was killed during the Marawi siege.

Dagoy, the Brigade Commander of 802nd Brigade stated that “Anulga’s
death shows the government’s conviction in protecting the people
from these lawless elements. This is a clear message that your AFP
and PNP will not allow neither tolerate terror groups in our midst.”
