From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 7): 4 NPA rebels killed in Abra

Four suspected New People’s Army rebels were killed on Thursday in an encounter with Army soldiers in Barangay Cayapa, Lagangilang, Abra, a military official said in a belated report.

Colonel Loreto Magundayao, Army’s 5th Infantry Division spokesman, said the Army’s 41st Infantry Battalion soldiers and 20-member New People’s Army rebels under the Kilusang Larangang Guerrilla North engaged in a brief gunbattle.

Army soldiers recovered assorted guns, ammunition, backpacks and other belongings and alleged subversive documents.

The rebels allegedly slept at the village as evident of the tents found there. Soldiers did not suffer any casualty from the encounter, he added.
