While on security patrol, a trooper from the 68th Infantry
Battalion was shot and wounded during an encounter with New People's Army (NPA)
bandits at Sitio Bagang, Barangay Palma Gil in Talaingod town, Davao Del Norte
Thursday morning.
Eastern Mindanao Command public affairs office chief Capt.
Alberto Caber said that pursuit operations were still ongoing as of this
posting.
Caber said the 68th Infantry Battalion had been providing
security patrols in the area after continuous report from the villagers on the
extortion activities by the NPA bandits.
Eastern Mindanao Command head Lt. Gen. Aurelio B. Baladad
earlier directed military unit commanders in the region to intensify its
security operations to protect the people in the far-flung areas from the NPA's
illegal activities.
