A Philippine Army member was seriously wounded in an
encounter with an undetermined number of New People's Army (NPA) rebels in
Barangay Patalunan, Ragay, Camarines Sur, at about 12:40 p.m. Thursday.
Pfc. Mario Oberio of the 42nd Infantry Battalion of the
Philippine Army was rushed to the Bicol
Medical Center
The government troopers were on a security patrol in the
area when the communist dissidents fired at them, hitting Oberio at once.
The Army soldiers hit back and engaged the rebels in a
30-minute firefight.
Reinforcement for the government men came, forcing the
rebels to withdraw towards an unknown direction.
The responding soldiers mounted a hot pursuit operation
against the fleeing rebels.
