An Army soldier, who used to be assigned in southern Negros, was
injured in an encounter yesterday with suspected New People's Army rebels, in
Brgy. Acuna, Tapaz, Capiz, the military said. PFC Brent Pagulayan was rushed to a hospital in Capiz for treatment of a head
injury, after he was hit by a rock splinter, as they were being harassed by
rebels. The 61 st Infantry Battalion was assigned in southern Negros before its
transfer and swapping of areas with the 47 th Infantry Battalion in the boundary
of Iloilo and Capiz, military records show. Major Enrico Gil Ileto, spokesman of the Army's 3 rd Infantry Division, said
the delivery of government projects, construction of schools under the
Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan–Comprehensive Integrated Delivery of Social
Service project, and road improvements near the encounter site will continue
despite the attempt of rebels to disrupt them. Capt. Joselito Dalida of the 61 st IB said the encounter lasted for about
five minutes, and the rebels withdrew in separate directions. Pursuit operations against the fleeing rebels are ongoing.
