Guns, bullets seized from rebel camp

From the Philippine Star (Jun 3): Guns, bullets seized from rebel camp

ILOILO CITY, Philippines – Army troopers discovered what is believed to be a former camp of the New People’s Army (NPA) and seized firearms and bullets in Igbaras, Iloilo Monday.

The camp can accommodate at least 50 persons according to Lt. Col. Enriqueto Deocadez Jr., chief of the Army’s 82nd Infantry Battalion.

Deocadez said the rebels might have abandoned the camp a month ago and left behind two submachine guns, a grenade, a handheld radio, bullets for different firearms, documents and personal belongings.     

The Army said the discovery indicates that the force of the rebel group is weakening.

In February, the troopers also found abandoned rebel camps in the towns of Miag-ao and Tubungan, both in Iloilo.
