A 43-year-old wife of a member of the Citizens Armed Forces
and Geographical Unit (CAFGU) is now in critical condition after she was hit by
a grenade shrapnel coming from an M203 grenade launcher lodged by New People's
Army (NPA) rebels who attacked a camp of the Philippine Army/Citizens Armed
Auxiliary at Barangay Mabini, Del Gallego, Camarines Sur, Monday morning.
Rushed to the Bicol
Medical Center
A police report said Corpuz was preparing breakfast for her
husband inside a hut in the camp at about 6:05 a.m. when suddenly there was an
explosion and a shrapnel from an M-203 grenade hit her.
The CAFGU detachment was 50 meters away from the unit’s main
camp.
The soldiers immediately fought back to defend their camp
and exchanged fire with the rebels for 20 minutes, after which the rebels
withdrew towards an unknown direction.
The report said Corpuz was just visiting her CAFGU-husband
when the rebels harassed the detachment.
