It was unknown if there were children or other women among the passengers or whether the attack was connected to family feud, which is common on the island.
Police said no group claimed responsibility for the ambush, but radio reports in Jolo said the attackers fled after the strafing the jeep.
Vendetta killing is common in the southern Philippines and fighting between protagonists sometimes lasts for years and even decades, until a pact is reached or blood money is paid by both sides.
