Two soldiers were killed and eight others were wounded in two separate tactical offensives launched by the New People’s Army (NPA) in Ilocos Sur and Mountain Province against the Philippine Army in November.
Two 54th IB troops were killed and five others wounded in an ambush launched by an NPA unit in Sitio Pigiw, Barangay Teptepan, Sagada, Mountain Province on November 30. The soldiers of the reactionary government were aboard a six-by-six truck and an Isuzu Elf pickup when ambushed by the NPA at around 10:45 p.m.
A soldier was killed on the spot in this ambush while the second casualty died on December 2 at the Bontoc General Hospital. The other five wounded troopers of the 54th IB were likewise brought to this hospital for treatment.
Meanwhile, in Ilocos Sur, three military troops were wounded on the night of November 10 in an attack by an NPA unit under the Alfredo Cesar Command (ACC) on 81st IB soldiers encamped at Barangay Bugbuga, Sta. Cruz. The fascist soldiers are stationed at the barangay hall pending the construction of their new battalion headquarters at the village.
The residents were not consulted on the construction of the 81st IB’s military camp within the community, causing fear and distress among the people.
Aside from building the battalion headquarters in the middle of the village, the 81st IB Delta Company has posted itself beside a cluster of civilian houses in Barangay Bugbuga. CMO-PDT units of the 81st IB have also been regularly using the barangay hall and civilians’ homes in San Antonio, Pidpid, Amarao as detachments.
