here's another story that happen many years ago in mindanao

my uncle (my father's cousin from Leyte) was the first PMC to ever receive a Medal of Valor, his name is PFC Nestor Acero (PN), for his heroic deed during the Sibalo Hill, Jolo Island, Sulu Province on 26 November 1972, i also meet another old marin, this time one of my wife's uncle was an old marine veteran from that day until 2000, was in the same company of my uncle during that fatefull day, thou different platoon..

his actions...

PFC Acero covered his wounded buddy Pfc. Buaya (his buddy since Basic Training), while providing cover-fire while his team mates withdraw and dis-engage, according to an old marine i know, during that battle muklo (they refer to islamic rebel at that time), keep chargin even if nangaigo na sila, PFC Acero continue to give cover fire until exhausting its ammo, when his fellow marine brothers return they found PFC Acero lifeless body still holding his rifle and his buddy (PFC Buaya) lifeless body, not really sure about how many enemy had been killed that encounter it says there are more than 40 kills near where they found him...

ive tried to follow its footstep and join AFP apparently never made it due to health issues..., only 5 of our relatives made it in Marine, if given a chance to serve this country would be willing to do it, maski sa reserved ra...

im a patriot, i will defend her, to any enemy of the state, be it red or any color...

here's his story from the navy website

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty against heavily armed and numerically superior Muslim outlaws in the vicinity of Sibalo Hill, Punai, Jolo, Sulu, from 26 to 27 November 1972. As the 7th and 8th Marine Companies, serving as assault units, approached the top of the hill, they were met with heavy resistance from the enemy's 30-caliber and 50-caliber machine guns and surrounded by about 500 fully armed outlaws. Defending their grounds against intense enemy fire from automatic and crew-serve weapons, the two companies suffered heavy casualties and found their positions untenable. Upon orders of the Battalion Commander, the two companies started to disengage themselves from the scene of battle. Private First Class Acero of the 7th Marine Company, then designated rifleman, was at that time defending his ground and nursing his wounded teammate and friend, Private First Class Buaya. He sensed the futility of evacuating the latter without being hit by enemy fire. Despite orders of his superiors, he decided to stay behind to take care of other critically wounded comrades and cover the withdrawal of the rest of the troops. His gallant defense through ferocious fighting attracted heavy volume of enemy fire to concentrate on him, thus relieving the pressure on the withdrawing elements from incurring further casualty. When recovery teams were sent out after the savage battle, they found 30 or more dead outlaws in the periphery of the dead body of Private first class Acero whose left-arm was cradling the neck of Private First Class Buaya. This display of gallantry and heroism at the sacrifice of his life above and beyond the call of duty, distinguished Private First Class Acero as among the finest in the military service.
