Dugyaman, Barangay Anticala, of the above-mentioned locality.
Concerned residents reported to the military the NPA

activities.

deployed to the area, triggering a 25-minute firefight which left one rebel
dead.
Recovered from the encounter scene was a fallen NPA, an
AK-47 automatic rifle, an AR-18 rifle, nine IEDs (improvised explosive device),
10 backpacks with NPA personal belongings, and subversive documents with high
