A member of the civilian active auxiliary (CAA) was hurt as
army clashes with the New People’s Army anew at the hinterlands of a lakeside
municipality in Agusan del Norte, Monday afternoon according to army reports.
Capt. Regie Go, spokesperson of the 402nd Brigade based in Camp Bancasi ,
this city through mobile phone call and text messages, confirmed that on
Monday, at 1:30 p.m. government troopers, while conducting a security patrol at
the vicinity of Sitio
Zapanta Valley
The rebels were believed to be members of the Sangay Ng
Partido Sa Platoon (SPP) 16A, led by a certain alias “Russel.”
Go said a thirty-minute firefight ensued which resulted in
the slight wounding of CAA Dayo, who was taken to a medical facility for
treatment.
The enemy then fled the area pursued by the government
troops. Pursuing government troopers noticed blood stains along the escape
route of the rebels, Go said.
The government troopers, Go said, were patrolling to secure
the PAMANA developmental project worth millions of pesos.
The projects will be composed of a water system project
which will cost about Php 1,000,000 to benefit the villagers of Sitio Maria
Buhok and Sitio Ancile of Brgy. Bangayan.
Also a 9-kilometer farm-to-market road to cost about Php
40,000,000 will soon be constructed in the area that will connect Brgy.
Bangayan to Sitio
Zapanta Valley
The rebels, according to Go, opposed such developmental
projects and the activities of the community organizing for peace and
development (COPD) in the area as they also resisted any similar projects for
developments in the other parts of the region.
