From the Philippine News Agency (Nov 22): Army discovers abandoned NPA camp in
Agusan del Sur
Troopers from the Philippine Army's 3rd Special Forces Battalion discovered an
abandoned New People's Army (NPA) camp capable of housing 50 rebel fighters
during patrol operations in the forested area of Kitcharao, Agusan del Norte
early this week.
Recovered from the rebel base were empty bottles of dextrose and other
medical items believed to be used by the NPAs in treating their comrades wounded
in battle with government forces.
Lt. Col. Potenciano C. Camba, 3rd Special Forces Battalion commander, said
the discovery of the abandoned rebel base highlights the military's success in
making the area untenable for the communist guerrillas.
The Army has been conducting regular security patrols in the Kitcharao area
to prevent rebel groups from attacking civilian settlements.
“The conduct of the pursuit operations by the military is to assure the
populace in the area that the NPA can no longer sow terror to the community.
However, we also appeal to these NPAs to let their wounded comrades have the
proper medical attention they need by bringing them to the licensed medical
practitioners in government hospitals," he stressed.
