Showing lack of compassion even in times of calamities, New
People's Army (NPA) rebels fired on an Army patrol base in Tagkawayan town,
Quezon province early Saturday morning.
The incident took place around 4:00 a.m. in Barangay
Mapulot, Tagkawayan, Southern Luzon Command spokesperson Major Angelo Guzman
said.
201st Infantry Brigade commander Col. Rhoderick M. Parayno
said the rebels fired some 20 rounds of ammunition and four rifle grenades at
the base.
Fortunately, no one was hurt as the rebels missed their
target.
"The patrol base is on alert for humanitarian
assistance and disaster response operations in the barangay," Parayno
said.
Troops are now conducting clearing operations as of posting.
In Irosin town, Sorsogon Friday, NPAs detonated a landmine
wounding a member of the 903rd Infantry Brigade disaster response team.
With the two NPA attacks on disaster responders, Guzman said
the Southern Luzon Command will boost its security measures to provide utmost
service to the Filipino people amidst the threat of typhoon "Ruby."
