Troopers from the 66th Infantry Battalion and their counterparts from the New Bataan Municipal Police Station have arrested two New People's Army (NPA) bomb carriers during operations in Compostela Valley Tuesday.

Eastern Mindanao Command public affairs office chief Capt. Alberto Caber identified the arrested rebels as Edwin Sarvida and Dodong Langoy.
