As
of this writing, Philippine Army soldiers are still in hot pursuit of New
People's Army (NPA) rebels who they had encountered at Barangay Talisay, a
far-flung village in Oas town in Albay, at about 5:30 a.m. Saturday.
Lt.
Albert Belingan of the PA's 901st Infantry Brigade said there were no
casualties reported yet but, he said, they had recovered at least two M16
rifle, improvised explosive device and anti-government documents from the
rebels.
The
Army troopers were on a patrol operation when they encountered the rebels whom
they engaged in a 10-minute firefight.
Belingan
said the rebels escaped towards the direction of Barangay Ramay of Oas town.
The
NPA has been active lately, executing military and paramilitary men as well as
suspected military and police assets using young-looking members in the
assassination mission.
