More than 30 elements of the 4th ID and the Philippine National Police (PNP) were killed and more than ten wounded in 28 military actions launched by the New People’s Army (NPA) in Misamis Oriental and Bukidnon provinces and in the western portions of Agusan del Norte and Agusan del Sur in November. A Red fighter valiantly lost his life in the same period.
On November 15-22, the NPA launched eleven harassment operations against the 8th IB, 58th IB, two Scout Ranger companies, Airborne, CAFGU and paramilitary groups. The AFP suffered up to 20 casualties in a series of firefights where the enemy feigned courage due to the “artillery support” it received from howitzers that fired 22 shells.
The enemy’s artillery attacks spurred more than 300 residents from the sub-villages of Lakbangan, Impadiding and Calhaan in Barangay Minalwang, Claveria, Misamis Oriental to evacuate.
In the same period, the 402nd Brigade launched military operations in 14 barrios of San Luis and La Paz, Agusan del Sur. The Western Agusan Norte-Agusan Sur Subregional Command has responded with eight military actions since November 9, inflicting casualties of seven dead and five wounded on the enemy.
Meanwhile, subregions and guerrilla fronts where the enemy had eased its stranglehold enthusiastically lent support.
The Mt. Kitanglad Subregional Command launched five successive harassment operations from November 12-2 that resulted in four killed and eight wounded on the enemy side.
Three successive harassment operations were likewise launched by Front 4B (Eastern Misamis Oriental) against three CAFGU detachments in November.
