A platoon of soldiers were conducting security patrol along the Circumferential Road at around 7:30 a.m. when ambushed by more or less 20 fully armed men led by Jannatul in Sitio Mompol, Barangay Libug, Sumisip.

Jannatul and and his men were from Barangay Baiwas, Sumisip.

Killed in action were 2Lt. Jun G. Corpuz, Sergeant Tranquilino G. Germo Jr., Private Forst Class Raffy E. Canuto, Pfc Rolando P. Entera Jr., Pfc Freddie G. Pandoy, and Pfc Mark Anthony F. Singson.
