CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Eight men were executed before dawn Sunday in Iligan City in southern Philippines in what police claimed may be linked to illegal narcotics.

Initial police report said four masked gunmen were involved in the killings. Police have identified the victims as Bryan Cubilla, Balong Catiloc, Tata Gabriel, Pedro Lumayaga, Ariel Lumayaga, Narciso Lumayaga, Tonio Decalan, and a still unidentified man.
Senior Supt. Leony Roy Geroche, the local police chief, has formed a special investigation task group that would look into the murders.
