One cafgu active auxiliary was killed and another was wounded after they were attacked by the New People’s Army (NPA) while conducting security patrol in Sitio Kamaka, Barangay Palma Gil, Talaingod, Davao del Norte on Monday.
Capt. Jerry Lamosao, the spokesperson of 10th Infantry Division, said one squad of CAA from Butay patrol base of 72nd Infantry Battalion, was hit by members of Guerrilla Front Committee GFC 55, Southern Regional Mindanao committee (SMRC).
Lamosao said intermittent exchange of gunfire lasted for about 15 minutes, resulting in the death of one government militia and the wounding of another. He didn’t identify the two men although the injured Cafgu was brought to the Kapalong Emergency Hospital.
“We expressed our condolences to the family of the killed CAA. He has offered his life to secure the lives of the people in his community,” Maj. Gen. Noel Clement, commander of 10th ID, said.
“The 10th ID assures the family that justice will haunt the perpetrators,” Clement added.
