Private First Class Arvin Peñaranda was shot and wounded when his squad clashed with another squad during combat patrol, according to Captain Patrick Jay Retumban, spokesman for the Army's 2nd Infantry Division.
Peñaranda, who was wounded in the pelvic bone, expired while being brought to a hospital.
2nd ID commander Major General Rhoderick Parayno said the incident was a "misencounter."
"It's a misencounter, the two units were operating when they went against each other," Parayno said. "They were conducting operation against the NPA (New People's Army) at that time."
The military is conducting investigation "to clarify the incident," Retumban said.
Parayno said the firefight stopped when members of the squads recognized each other.
