Immediate response from troopers from the 84th Infantry
Battalion quickly turned the tables over suspected New People's Army (NPA)
bandits who ambushed two barangay officials in Alambre, Davao City
In the incident, which took place 1:30 p.m., a still
unidentified rebel was killed by responding government troops while an NPA
M-653 automatic rifle was also recovered.
Barangay chair Generoso Bacalso and Kagawad Ducris Daug,
both of Daliaoan, Toril District, Davao City, were aboard a motorcycle going to
Toril proper when ambushed by the NPAs along Purok 5, Barangay Alambre.
Bacalso sustained a gunshot wound at his left hand while
Daug managed to escape.
A group of soldiers from the 84th Infantry Battalion who
were patrolling nearby witnessed the attack on the two and immediately rushed
to help.
In the encounter, a still unidentified rebel was killed with
no losses to the government side.
Bacalso was immediately taken to nearby hospital for
treatment shortly after the NPA retreat. Pursuit operations are still ongoing.
"We cannot allow these terroristic actions of the NPAs
to persist. They (NPAs) are targeting innocent civilians, thus, the people of
Davao City should already voice out their desire for peace and to condemn the
use of force to attain their political objectives," 10th Infantry Division
Major Gen. Rafael Valencia said.
