The military on Wednesday admitted that it is using cannons
to bombard the suspected rebel lair in Misamis Oriental.
Capt. Nestor Endozo, the spokesperson of the Army’s 58th
Infantry Battalion, said that the military has pinpointed the exact position of
the camp of the New People’s Army rebels in the village of Bunal
Endozo also confirmed the death of two NPA rebels who were
killed during the military offensive Friday afternoon last week, three days
after the armed encounter took place.
“As of Wednesday, the military’s combat operations have
continued as the government troopers started clearing the area to protect the
civilians in the hinterland village,” he said.
He also explained that the military operation was in
reaction of the reports that the rebels are adding up camps in the area.
About 160 families evacuated to the municipal covered court
due to the ongoing armed clashes by the government troopers and NPA rebels that
started Wednesday last week.
The Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office has
extended free medical services and distributed relief goods to the evacuees.
