NPA raids PCG detachment in Camarines Sur

From the Philippine News Agency (Nov 10): NPA raids PCG detachment in Camarines Sur

New People's Army (NPA) bandits raided a Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) detachment in Camarines Sur taking away assorted equipment and one M-16 automatic rifle Tuesday morning.

The incident took place 10: 25 a.m., at the PCG detachment in Barangay Guijalo, Caramoan town, Camarines Sur Provincial Police head Senior Supt. Walfredo Pornillos said.

He added that eight rebels, in civilian clothes, and armed with handguns and high-powered weapons forced their way to the PCG detachment, surprising SN1 Juan Miguel Ravago, who was the only Coast Guard personnel on duty on the time of the raid.

An estimated 20 rebels acted as blocking force.

Before leaving, the NPAs stolen assorted PCG uniforms and an M-16 automatic rifle, one base radio, two hand-held radios and the 201 file of Ravago.

Aside from this, the rebels also fired on the moored PCG speedboat causing undetermined damage.

Pursuit operations are now ongoing as of this posting.
