As a cadet, Ronald saved his allowances and gave it to his parents, who then used them to support the studies of his other siblings. Thanks to his being frugal, Ronald was able to help his brother Gelo finish his computer studies in Bohol. Ronald may be hard on himself but he was generous to his family. The young lieutenant had wanted to act as Santa Claus in a New Year’s Eve reunion held in Nabanga, Bohol. At about 6 a.m. on December 29, he called his mom to tell that he will bring gifts for his parents and each of his seven siblings, Eulogio was quoted by Cabunoc as saying. He was very generous and kind to all of us, he added. The reunion pushed through but it wasn’t a happy one. In fact, it was the saddest one for the Bautista family. We did not expect that he (Ronald) he will come home in a coffin during our reunion, Eulogio said. Ronald was one of the government troopers killed in an attack staged by the New People’s Army (NPA) in Mabini Compostela Valley last December 29. Ronald, Pfc. Albert Amor and government militia man Renel Baluc were on board a motorcycle when rebels blocked their path and shot them dead along the road in Barangay Candinuyan at around 9:45 a.m. Officials said Ronald and his companions may have caught the ire of the NPA because they were involved in community development activities.
