A SOLDIER was wounded following the clash between
government troops and the NPAs at New Cebu, Barangay
Magcagong, Maragusan, Compostela
Valley
Capt .Rhyan Batchar, 10th Infantry Division spokesperon,
said soldiers from Bravo Company of 28IB were checking reports about the
communist rebels laying landmines at Magcagong before they were attacked.
That triggered a 20-minute firefight. The NPAs
then scampered to different directions.
Left behind by the rebels were the improvised explosive
device, a 30-meter wire and several spent shells of high powered firearms.
Maj. Gen Rafael Valencia, 10th ID commander, commended the soldiers
for foiling the NPA’s plan.
“Our campaign against the NPA rebels who kept on amassing
money and terrorizing the people of Maragusan will be relentless,” said Valencia
Meanwhile, five NPA members were arrested while they were
laying improvised explosive devices (IEDs) at Sitio Maganting, Barangay
Napnapan, Pantukan, Compostela
Valley
Soldiers of Bravo Company under the 46th Infantry Battalion
chanced upon the five suspects identified as Glen Cañete, Jutam
Calig-unan, Arnel Angkeles, Jonel Calig-unan and Eric Beloy as they were
about to plant the explosives.
Later, they were turned over to the Pantukan Police Station
for investigation and filing of appropriate charges. Taken from their
possessions were five landmines.
“These NPAs terrorizing the people should be dealt with in
accordance with the rule of law. Let the court of law decide their fate,” Valencia
