In Quezon, an NPA was killed after troops from the 74th
Infantry Battalion clashed with 15 NPAs in San Vicente Kanluran Village of
Catanauan town around 2:40 p.m Sunday while on combat operations. The encounter
also yielded an M16 rifle and an improvised explosive device (IED). No soldier
was hurt during the encounter.
"Additional troops and K9 tracking dogs were deployed
for pursuit operations," said 201st Infantry Brigade Commander Colonel
Rhoderick M. Parayno.
Earlier on Sunday in Camarines Sur, a CAA was shot to death
by an unidentified gunman believed to be a member of the NPA around 7:30 a.m.
in Centro Casay Village of Lupi town. The CAA member was identified as CAA Alan
M Madrilejos, 39 years old, of Ragay, Camarines Sur.
CAA Madrilejos was with another CAA when the attack
happened. They were out to the market to procure food provisions for their
detachment. His companion was able to evade the attack and made the report to
his detachment.
AFP Southern Luzon Command Chief Major General Ricardo R.
Visaya extended his condolences to the family of CAA Madrilejos while he lauded
the accomplishment of 201st Infantry Brigade.
"We will continue to push our focused military
operations in the region based on our timelines," said Major General
Visaya.
"While some soldiers and CAAs suffer the supreme
sacrifice for peace, Southern Luzon is far a better and safer place now with
the continuous surrenders, capture and neutralization of NPAs," he said.
