From the Visayan Daily Star (Jul 4, 2019): Army, NPA encounter in Bindoy
Newly-arrived soldiers of the 11tth Battalion clashed Tuesday with a group of suspected New People’s Army in Sitio Samac Gamay, Brgy. Nalundan in Bindoy, Negros Oriental.
The running gunbattle lasted for about one hour and 30 minutes, after which the rebels scampered in various directions, Capt. Cenon Pancito, spokesperson of the 3rd Infantry Division, said yesterday.
Nobody was injured among the government troopers, while the Philippine Army is still verifying if some of the fleeing rebels had been injured or killed in the gunbattle, Pancito said.
Pursuit operations of the 11IB troopers yielded a back pack, ammunition and subversive documents inside a house in the place.
Cenon said the Army soldiers were conducting combat operations when they were informed by residents about the presence of armed rebels in the area, and an encounter followed.*
