government side and an undetermined number on enemy side.The rebels withdrew
toward southeast direction.
Chief Supt. Augusto M. Marquez Jr., Bicol police regional

operations and intelligence monitoring in their respective areas of
responsibility.
A hot pursuit operation is still being conducted by elements
of the 9IB against the fleeing enemies.
