From the Philippine News Agency (Aug 19): Army overruns 2 rebel camps in Iloilo

The Philippine Army's 301st Infantry Brigade had overran two rebel camps in Tapaz, Capiz and Igbaras, Iloilo province.

PA 301st Infantry Brigade Commander Gen. Arnold Quiapo said the encounter happened successively on Aug. 17 in Barangay Aglinab, Tapaz, Capiz and in Barangay Igbanaba, Igbaras, Iloilo on Aug 18.

The government troops were conducting patrol on the areas when they encountered elements of the New People’s Army who were encamped in there. The rebel soldiers initially fired a shot that forced the government troops to engage them in return.

Quiapo said there were no casualties from both groups and the camps are considered to be rather small.
