NPA encampment found in Abra

From the Manila Times (Jul 3): NPA encampment found in Abra

ABRA: THE Army’s Northern Luzon Command (Nolcom) overran an encampment of the New People’s Army (NPA) in Abra province on Sunday night. 

The campsite at Sitio Mabungtot, Barangay Ud-udiao in Sal-lapadan town was discovered while Army soldiers of the 24th Infantry Battalion (24IB) of Joint Task Force (JTF) “Kaugnay” were conducting Focused Military Operations (FMO).

Lt. Col. Isagani Nato, Nolcom public affairs chief, said the abandoned encampment, around 100 square meters, was in a densely vegetated area and could accommodate 18 rebels.

Nato said the troops found at the encampment some personal belongings of female NPA members, medicines and food sachets.

He said the troops would be relentless in keeping the enemies of the state on the run to deprive them of the opportunity to recruit new members.
