A member of the CAFGU Active Auxiliary (CAA) was killed
while another was hurt when five New People's Army (NPA) rebels opened fire at
a squad of the 2nd Infantry Battalion in Libon town, Albay Friday evening.
The incident took place 6 p.m. at Barangay Malabiga, of the
above-mentioned locality.
Southern Luzon Command (SOLCOM) spokesperson Lt. Col. Angelo
Guzman identified the slain militiaman as Gilbert E. Delos Reyes.
His remains was taken to St. Peter's Chapel in Legazpi City,
Albay while his wounded companion, Michael J. Ramirez is now undergoing
treatment at 9th Infantry Division Station Hospital in Pili, Camarines Sur.
Guzman said SOLCOM strongly denounces the attack. The squad
was on a mission of securing the construction of a farm-to-market road in the
barangay.
"The attack delays the opportunities and benefits for
the barangay," he added.
"Our unit there has intensified its security measures
so that the construction can resume early," Guzman said.
