Troops foil rebel attack in Sarangani school

From the Philippine News Agency (Nov 3): Troops foil rebel attack in Sarangani school

The military has foiled an attack by suspected New People's Army rebels in a school construction project in Sarangani province last Nov. 1.

The assault took place around 11 a.m. in Sitio Akbual, Barangay Upper Suyan, Malapatan town, the statement forwarded by 10th Infantry Division public affairs office chief Capt. Rhyan Batchar Tuesday said.

The firefight lasted for 20 minutes. No one among the government troops were wounded. The rebels quickly retreated afterwards.

Batchar said the three-classroom school project was being constructed with the help of local officials, including Sarangani Rep. Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and soldiers.
