CPP/Ang Bayan: Ambush in Capiz

From the English edition of Ang Bayan (Oct 21): Ambush in Capiz

Three soldiers from the 61st IB Alpha Coy were killed and several others were wounded in an ambush by the New People’s Army under the Jose Percival Estocada Jr. Command (JPEC) in Barangay Nayawan, Tapaz, Capiz on October 7.

Fascist troops under the 301st Infantry Brigade of the Philippine Army were then conducting operations in the mountainous barangays of Tacayan and Nayawan when they were ambushed by the Red fighters at around 6:45 a.m. It took more than six hours before three Huey helicopters arrived to collect the military casualties, said JPEC spokesperson Ka Jury Guerrero.
