Two members of 91st Reconnaissance Company of the Philippine Army were killed in an ambush staged by New People's Army (NPA) rebels in Barangay Busac,
Dead on the spot were Pfc. Jaynard Guinoo and Pfc. Louie Jardio, both of the PA's 91st Recom based in Barangay Oma-Oma.
Initial police report said the ambush took place at about 4:10 p.m. after the two soldier-victims had just underwent a reconnaissance operation in the area.
About ten NPA members armed with M-16 armalite rifles ambushed the Army soldiers, the report said.
Earlier, Army intelligence reported that an armed group of men was seen in the village prompting the command to send Guinoo and Jardio to confirm the report, which resulted in the ambush.
The 91st Reconnaissance Company of the PA immediately sent reinforcement but it failed to catch up with the rebels who had withdrawn to an unknown direction.
