From the Philippine Star (Apr 6): Army officer dies of heatstroke

An intelligence officer of the military was believed to have died from heatstroke as he was taking a jog inside an Army camp in Maguindanao Friday afternoon.

Despite attempts, military doctors failed to revive Maj. Amelito Boa after he collapsed at about 4:45 p.m. at the Camp Siongco in Awang town.

Boa, deputy chief for intelligence of the 6th Infantry Division, was immediately taken in for treatment as he collapsed near the Camp Siongco Hospital, said Army spokesman Lt. Col. Noel Detoyato.

“This is a sad news for us. The heat was too much out there,” Detoyato said.
