This is another amazing story of a soldier who sacrifices his life to protect our country from the ISIS-Inspired Maute group.
He is Dhan Ryan Bayot, a Private First Class and a 24-year-old soldier from 51st Infantry Batallion stationed in Barangay Lloyd, Marawi City. His heroic act happens in the second day of Marawi Crisis and surfaced on the internet just a few days ago. They were attacked not long enough as they were dispatched to secure the residence as a town mayor's request.
A Facebook page post, a survivor said that the gunfire was anywhere, it is in both roads and gunfire was also coming from Mayor's house too. It means it was overtaken by the terrorist.
They were ambushed and the gunfire was coming from all directions, five of his comrade was already dead. Three of them manage to escape including Private Fiest Class Dhan Ryan Bayot but unfortunately he wind up to the zone where he is being surrounded by the ISIS-inspired group.
He asked for help to his commander but there's no response. After an hour, he tried again and received a response that there was already a reinforcement but they couldn't get through to his location because the enemies are blocking the only passage to him.
Knowing that it is hard for them to rescue him, he gave a signal to bomb his location so the enemies will get hit too. "Bombahin nalang ninyo abg location ko sir," Private First Class Dyan Ryan Bayot said.
His body and his other brave comrades retrieved on May 28, four days after they were killed. Among the Retrievers was his father Sgt. Larry Bayot of the Division Reconnaissance Company of the 1st Infantry Division. His father didn't see any bullet wounds on his son's dead body but it is heacily deformed and have a deep cut of bolo around his neck.
His body was brought to his hometown this June at Barangay Upper Pangi, Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay. After the burial, the President visited Private First Class Dhan Ryan Bayot's father to personally console him about his lost. Our president gave him the posthumous medal for his son bravery act and P250 thousand and pledge to for any young member of the family's education. "What else can I be of help?" The president said. Seargent Bayot replied
"My 18-year-old youngest son who is a late PFC Ryan's brother wants to join the army too". "No, not yet, he has to finish his college first, then after that maybe we can let him enter the army or even the police," the President responded.
