Govt troops rescue wounded NPA rebel

From the Manila Times (Sep 15): Govt troops rescue wounded NPA rebel

Government troops belonging to 28th Infantry Battalion (28th IB) on Friday rescued a wounded member of the communist New People’s Army (NPA), the Eastern Mindanao Command (EMC) reported on Saturday.

Jason Languhan, of Santa Cruz town in Davao del Sur province, was rescued around 9 a.m. on September 14, a day after two armed clashes ensued between the 28th IB and the communist rebels in Sitio Sigang, Barangay Maragtas, Lupon, Davao Oriental.

The wounded rebel was rescued in the vicinity of Barangay Maragtas after his companions abandoned him as they fled.


The rebel was lying inside a banana plantation when found by the rescuing troops and community members, the EMC report said.

Languhan was immediately airlifted to Camp Panacan Station Hospital in Davao City for initial treatment.

 He was later brought to the Southern Philippines Medical Center, also in Davao City, for further medical intervention, the EMC said.
