Wounded Maute men seek treatment in Sarangani

FULLY armed men, suspected to be members of the retreating Maute group, barged into a government hospital in Glan, Sarangani province demanding treatment for their seriously wounded comrades and threatened doctors and employees not to report their presence to the authorities or they will be mercilessly killed, a medical staffer said.

A hospital attendant named Auring told The Manila Times they were advised by the management to be careful about reporting the presence of the wounded men as they might be killed or held hostage by the retreating armed group.
