From the Philippine Star (Dec 17): Soldier killed in Iloilo ambush
A soldier of the Philippine Army was killed after the leftist New People's Army (NPAs) ambushed patrolling soldiers in Iloilo, a military official said today. Maj. Enrico Ileto, spokesman of the Philippine army's 3rd Infantry Division, said the soldiers were on "defensive security patrol" when they were fired upon by NPAs in Cabalaunan village, Miag-ao town in Iloilo province (this) morning. Ileto said the identity of the slain soldier was withheld pending the notification of his family. The soldiers were tasked with patroling the area after receiving reports that the leftist rebels were harassing residents. Ileto noted that the soldier was killed on the second day of the government's 18-day suspension of offensive military operations.
