An alleged member of the communist New People’s Army (NPA) was killed in an encounter with the Philippine Army in Zamboanga Sibugay.
Lt. Col. Don Templonuevo, commanding officer of 44th Infantry Battalion (IB), which has the operational jurisdiction of Zamboanga Sibugay, said the troops clashed with about 12 fully armed communist rebels at Sitio KM18, Brgy. Diampak, Kabasalan town Wednesday, July 17.
One soldier was slightly wounded but already in safe condition, he said.
The government troops recovered one M16 rifle, magazines, pieces of ammunition, improvised explosive device, medical paraphernalia, solar panel, radio, cellular phones, and subversive documents with high intelligence value.
“This is the result of the deliberate planning of the unit and the cooperation of the people of Diampak, Kabasalan. We encourage the people of Sibugay to fully cooperate with us in order to neutralize the communist rebels in the area,” Templonuevo said.
“We will not let go until we destroy the remaining rebels in the area. That’s why we are urging the remaining rebels to lay down their arms and surrender to the government. Rest assured that we will help them start again and have a peaceful life if they return to the folds of law,” he added.
