From Tempo (Oct 1): SAF officer hurt in gunfight
BUTUAN CITY – A member of the 1st Special Action Force Battalion (1st SAF) was wounded during a fierce gun battle with heavily armed communist rebels Monday afternoon in Barangay San Roque, Kitcharao, Agusan del Norte.
Supt. Romaldo G. Bayting, regional public information officer of Police Regional Officer 13 (PRO 13), identified the wounded SAF member as Senior Police Officer 1 Richard Maghanoy.
He was brought to nearby hospital in Kitcharao for medical treatment.
“Our troops also inflicted undetermined number of casualties on the New People’s Army (NPA) side during the gunbattle,” claimed Bayting, citing bloodstains along the withdrawal route of the fleeing rebels.
The rebels are believed to be regular members of the CPP-NPA Northeastern Mindanao Party Committee.
