The Philippine Army once again clashed with Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army gunmen in Iloilo's Janiuay town, the 3rd Infantry “Spearhead” Division said in a Saturday statement.
After receiving reports of NPA extortion activities in Barangay Panuran, the 12th Infantry Battalion conducted a combat operation in the area during which they engaged less than 20 members of the CPP-NPA's SYP Baloy Platoon, Central Front, Komiteng Rehiyon-Panay at 6:56 a.m.
At about 7 a.m., a 12IB blocking force also encountered the escaping members of Baloy Platoon.
While no casualties were reported from the encounter, magazines loaded with M16 ammunition, two cellphones, five backpacks, assorted medicines, oral contraceptive pills, personal belongings, and subversive documents were recovered from the scene.
The 12IB also encountered NPA gunmen in Janiuay's Barangay Atimonan last August 08.
