From DWDD AFP Civil Relations Service Website (Apr 27): 4ID SCORES ANEW II Encountered Lawless Armed Group in Bukidnon
CAMP EVANGELISTA, Cagayan de Oro City (DWDD) – Troops under 1st Special Forces Battalion who are conducting support to Law Enforcement Operation successfully encountered the Lawless Armed Group in the outskirts of Sitio kaulayanan, Brgy Lirongan, Talakag, Bukidnon at 6:30 am today, April 27, 2016.
Presence of the said Armed Group was tipped-off by a concerned civilian in the area. This prompted the 403rd Infantry Brigade to send troops to address the situation.
Upon arrival in the area, said armed group indiscriminately fired upon the government troops. Firefight ensued for about ten minutes which eventually pushed the enemy to withdraw out of the engagement area. Troops recovered one homemade improvised 12 gauge shot gun and one homemade improvised 12 gauge pistol shot gun and a body of unidentified member of the said lawless group.
Scene of the Crime Operatives (SOCO) team of Talakag PNP immediately proceeded at the encounter area to facilitate the documentation of the said encounter.
Col Jesse A Alvarez, Commander of 403rd Infantry Brigade said, “These are the lawless armed group who are making our people’s lives miserable. Thanks to the concerned civilian who gave timely information. Our troops were able to preempt their activities against the locales.”
Meanwhile at around 12 noon, while conducting pursuit operation against the lawless armed group, a certain Rommel Talian surrendered to the gov’t troop bringing along with him his garand rifle with nine magazines and 68 live ammunitions. Talian incurred gun shot wound at his right thigh during the encounter. The troop immediately administered first aid treatment prior his transport to the nearest medical facility.
Furthermore, the investigating PNP personnel have stressed the filing of charges against the lawless elements for possession of illegal firearms and other war materials. 4DPAO / MCAG
