From the Philippine News Agency (Nov 14): NPA rebel killed, another wounded in
clash with military troops
A communist rebel was killed while another was wounded in a clash Tuesday with
government troops in the boundary of Tulunan, North Cotabato and Magsaysay,
Davao del Sur.
Col. Prudencio Asto, Army’s 6th Infantry Division military-public affairs
office chief, said the encounter was a result of the operations launched by
Army’s 602nd Infantry Brigade after the residents tipped to the military the
presence of armed New People's Army (NPA) rebels in the area.
Accordingly, the local residents have been fed up with the threats,
intimidation and extortion of the NPAs for a long time. This developed as the military airlifted to the infirmary of this camp the
wounded rebel identified as Reynante Soliman Dalon shortly after the encounter
for immediate treatment.
During clearing operations, government troopers also recovered two
high-powered firearms at the encounter site. There was no casualty on the government side, Asto stressed.
