Police, rebels clash in Masbate

From the Philippine News Agency (Nov 30): Police, rebels clash in Masbate

Bicol police encountered an undetermined number of New People’s Army (NPA) rebels at the boundary of Barangay Mabiton and Barangay Taguilid, both in Claveria, Masbate at about 12:10 p.m. Saturday.

A sketchy police report said a platoon of the 1st Maneuver Company of the 5th Regional Public Safety Battalion (5RPSB) led by Police Insp. Reymund P. Quinito was conducting a major internal security operation when they chanced upon the rebels.

The firefight lasted for about 30 minutes with no reported casualty on the government side while the police claimed an undetermined count on the enemy side.

The 5RPSB operatives are still in hot pursuit operation against the communist dissidents.
