From the Visayan Daily Star (Mar 21, 2019): NPA rebels harass Cafgu detachment
Suspected New People’s Army rebels harassed a CAFGU detachment Tuesday night in Sitio Polopangyan, Brgy. Bug-ang, Toboso, Negros Occidental.
However, nobody was hit or injured among the personnel of the 12IB CAFGU detachment, Brig. Gen. Benedict Arevalo, 303rd Infantry Brigade commander, said yesterday.
Toboso police investigation showed that about nine NPA rebels, positioned themselves about 500 meters from detachment, and indiscriminately fired their guns, that included an M-203 grenade launcher, for about two minutes.
Arevalo said his troops have always remained vigilant to counter any violent activities of the NPA.
Recovered from the area vacated by the fleeing rebels were 71 empty shells of M-16 and AK 47 assault rifles, and a spent cartridge of an M-203 grenade launcher.
