Troopers from the 8th Infantry Battalion, a field unit of
the Cagayan de Oro-based 4th Infantry Division, captured a New People's Army
(NPA) training camp at Kitaotao, Bukidnon during operations last Aug. 30.
Reports submitted on Tuesday by Capt. Joe Patrick Martinez,
4th Infantry Division public affairs office chief, said the captured rebel base
was located at Barangay Kulaman, Kitaotao town.
Operatives of the Philippine National Police (PNP) Public
Safety Company helped in the operation which resulted in the seizure of an M-14
carbine, a rocket-propelled grenade, two improvised explosive devices (IEDs),
12 sets of military battle dress uniforms, one sack of "cut" steel
bars used as IED fragments, blasting caps, steel bar cutter, and a five-meter
long explosive detonating cord.
The troops were on a security patrol when they received word
from civilian informants about a rebel base nearby. No NPA rebels were
encountered by capturing Army troops.
