Another female New People's Army rebel was injured in an encounter between a 25-man rebel group and Philippine Army soldiers in Sitio Bugtong, Barangay Balocawe, Matnog, Sorsogon, on Friday morning, a top military official in Bicol said here Saturday.
Brig. Gen. Joselito Kakilala, Sorsogon-based 903rd Infantry Brigade commander, revealed that a rebel named "Ka Cynthia" is now under the strict monitoring of Philippine Army men while in a hospital with her one-year-old child after she was wounded in the clash.
Kakilala said that at about 5:45 a.m., while soldiers of the 301st Infantry Brigade troops were patrolling, they encountered more or less 25 rebels and killed six rebels, including the commander of the Sorsogon Guerrilla Unit identified only as "Ka Randy."
The Army men also captured one amazon or female rebel identified as as "Ka-Rupel" and other unnamed male dissidents.
Government troops recovered high-powered firearms including two baby armalite rifles, M203 grenade launcher and an M16 rifle in the 30-minute firefight, according to Kakilala, who added that there are now three captured guerrilla members under their custody.
