The New People’s Army (NPA) and people’s militia confiscated four firearms in an ambush launched in Camarines Sur in November. Three enemy elements were likewise killed and two others wounded.
On November 15, the Norben Gruta Command (NPA-West Camarines Sur) and members of the people’s militia ambushed nine elements of the 22nd IB in Barangay Tinalmod, Pasacao town. Seized from the ambushed enemy forces were a carbine, two magazines for an M14 rifle, seven magazines for a carbine and a grenade. The enemy suffered two killed and two wounded.
The ambush was conducted at around 10:15 a.m. while the squad from the 22nd IB was traveling on foot to pursue the Red fighters who had punished CAFGU element Victorino Abejoro earlier that day. The firefight lasted almost 30 minutes. The scene of the fighting was quite near the 22nd IB detachment in Barangay Tinalmod. But the soldiers at the detachment merely fired several rounds without leaving their camp. The ambushed soldiers, on the other hand, scampered away.
Abejoro was punished because of his counterrevolutionary activities and the 1996 killing of Bernardo and Remedios Gata and their relative Vicente Gata, all residents of Barangay Salvacion, Pasacao. Seized from Abejoro was an M16 (single shot), four rocket-propelled grenades and two cal .38 revolvers.
