Recovered after the encounter were different armaments and operational supplies such as an anti-personnel mine, a 50-meter detonating cord, an improvised Grenade launcher, two rifle grenades, two solar panels, two Cignus batteries, some medical paraphernalia, backpacks, and a sack of rice.
No casualty was reported among government troops.
Bermillo called on the communist insurgents to go back to the fold of law, especially during the Yuletide season to reunite with their families.
“Christmas is approaching and encourage them to be with their family. Their families are waiting for them and this season is the best to be with them,” he said.
