Maan
Gale Bustaliño, whose father is from Maribojoc,
was a staff of Oriental Negros Rep. Pryde Henry Teves
who was also hurt in the blast.
She
grew up in Dipolog City and finished her studies at
UP Diliman. Her several trips to Bohol helped her trace
her roots. Friends remember her as one who had a happy
disposition in life.
The other Boholano casualty in the blast was the Loboc
native identified as Marcial Taldo, 64, driver of Gabriela
party-list Rep. Luzviminda Ilagan.

The
Boholano fatality was identified as a Loboc native by his
cousin Hedilito Taldo, secretary to the Sangguniang Bayan
of Loboc.
The
SB secretary was interviewed Wednesday during DYTR's Cuentas
Claras to confirm his relation with the Batasan blast victim.
Taldo
said his cousin was a longtime Davao resident and as far as
he can remember that it was a long time that he returned home.
Taldo
was one of the four fatalities of the Batasan blast. One of
the prominent victims was Rep. Wahab Akbar of Basilan. The
two other victims were the driver of Cong. Akbar while the
other one was the chief of staff of Negros Oriental Rep. Henry
Teves. The Negros solon was also wounded in the attack along
with 10 others.
