From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 26): Police overruns NPA camp in Agusan del
Sur
The Philippine National Police (PNP) overran a New Peoples Army (NPA) camp
Monday morning after a 20-minute gunbattle at the hinterlands of Bunawan, Agusan
del Sur.
Reports from Agusan del Sur Police Provincial Office reaching the regional
headquarters here stated that members of the Agusan del Sur Provincial Public
Safety Company and the 131st Regional Public Safety Company led by Insp. Jessie
P. Soriano were conducting a combat patrol operation around 11:10 a.m in
Barangay San Andres, Bunawan when they were harassed by an undetermined number
of rebels resulting to a 20-minute firefight before the rebels withdrew to the
mountainous part of the area.
During the clearing operations, the policemen, augmented by members of the
75th Infantry Battalion of the Philippine Army, discovered the abandoned NPA
camp near the site of the encounter.
Police believe the armed group were members of the CPP/NPA under the
Southeastern Command of the Northeastern Mindanao revolutionary Committee.
Police stations near the area were ordered to establish checkpoints and
intensify intelligence operations to apprehend the insurgents.
