From ABS-CBN (May 19): Army, rebels clash in Camarines Sur town

Rebels and forces of the Philippine Army clashed in Sitio Bariiw, Barangay Tabgon in Caramoan, Camarines Sur on Saturday morning.

According to a report from the 9th Infantry Division of the Philippine Army, their team just came from a town event in Barangay Bahay when several armed men stationed at the nearby cemetery opened fire at them.

The firefight supposedly lasted for over 10 minutes until the rebels took off.

Authorities said the rebels were led by a certain Marcus Villareal, more known as Yuri to Camarines Sur locals.

No one from the 9th Infantry Division got badly injured from the incident but the Philippine National Police (PNP) already alerted the doctors and nurses in various hospitals for rebels who will possible seek help from them.

The PNP has also set up check points and blocking forces around the Caramoan town to stop the rebels from escaping the area.
