Two suspected New People’s Army (NPA) rebels were killed in a clash with policemen on Friday morning in a remote village of Bulan town, Sorsogon province.
Maj. Maria Luisa Calubaquib, Police Regional Office (PRO-5) spokesperson, said members of the police Special Action Force (SAF) engaged the armed men in Barangay Dolos around 5:30 a.m.
"The running gun battle has led to the death of two still unidentified NPA rebels whose bodies are in the custody of the police operatives," she said in an interview.
The police operatives, while scouring the encounter site, recovered five assault rifles, ammunition and documents.
Checkpoints were set up in neighboring villages for possible interception of the fleeing rebels.
Calubaquib said the PNP-Bicol fully supports the government’s Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) in ending the problem on insurgency and terrorism without bloodshed.
"It urges members of the CPP-NPA to return to the fold of the law and avail the opportunities offered by the government and peacefully start a new chapter of their lives together with their families," she added.
