From GMA News (Apr 28): Report: Suspected NPA member killed in Agusan del Norte
A suspected communist New People's Army rebel was killed in an encounter with government troops in Agusan del Norte province, a radio report said Monday.
The encounter occurred while the Army's 29th Infantry Battalion was holding clearing operations in Mount Bantawon, Bombo Radyo reported.
The report said the area is at the boundary of Barangay Anticala in Butuan City and Barangay San Antonio in Remedios T. Romualdez in Agusan del Norte.
Capt. Samuel Maglinao, the battalion's civil military officer, was quoted in the report as saying the unit was verifying a tip from civilians about the presence of rebels in the area.
He said they then chanced on the rebels, and a firefight lasting 10 to 15 minutes ensued.
