From Kalinaw News (Sep 3, 2020): Palawan’s Top NPA leaders killed
High-ranking New People’s Army (NPA) leaders were killed in an encounter with Marine troops in Sitio Kubuyoan, Brgy Mainit, Brooke’s Point, Palawan Today, Sep 3, 2020 around 5:53am which resulted to five (5) CTGs killed and one (1) Killed-in-Action on the government side.

Bonifacio Magramo @ Boywan, Secretary, Sub-Regional Military Area -4E (SRME-4E); Andrea Rosal @ Naya (Daughter of Ka Roger Rosal), Deputy Secretary, Noel Siasico @ Ka Celnon and two other guerrilla fighters known as Ka Rj (Male) and Ka Pandan/Lemon (Female) were the identified casualties during the eight minutes encounter with our Marine Troops under 3rd Marine Brigade headed Bgen Nestor C Herico PN(M). He said Magramo, Rosal, and Siasico has standing warrant of arrest and were among the Top wanted NPA in Palawan. They were also the masterminds in the harassment to government forces and atrocities to our COVID-19 frontliners which killed a civilian nurse.
Bgen Herico said elements of 2nd Platoon 61st Marine Company, Force Recon Group and Marine Battalion Landing Team-4 which has operational jurisdiction over Southern Part of Palawan conducted Focused Military Operation in the hinterlands where Indigenous People (IP) had been reporting presence of armed groups in their neighbouring community.

Bgen Herico said, “Nakakalungkot ang pangyayaring ito, kaya ako ay muling nananawagan na sumuko ang ilan pang nalalabing Communist Terrorist Group o NPA sa kabundukan, walang mananalo pag kapwa Pilipino ang naglalaban-laban. Hangad ng inyong Armed Forces ang nagkakaisang Pilipino. Kaya’t ibandila natin ang kapayapaan sa isang maayos at tahimik na pagyakap sa panawagan ng pamahalaan sumuko at ibaba ang armas. Ang mithiin ng gobyerno natin ay mabigyan ng pagkakataon na maging produktibo ang lahat ng mamayan kasama na ang mga dating rebelde. “

He also said, “Ang aking pagdadalamhati at pakikiramay sa naulilang pamilya ni SSgt Cesar R Barlas, na Siyang nagbuwis ng buhay sa naganap na engkwentro laban komunistang NPA. Ang kabayanihan ng bawat sundalong nakikipaglaban ay hinding-hindi kailan man matatawaran. Si SSgt Barlas ay isang Palaweno at ibinuwis ang kanyang buhay para sa kanyang mahal na Lalawigan”

As of this moment, the government troops are still scouring and clearing the encounter site and its adjacent community.

3rd Marine Brigade calls for a peaceful surrender of other remnant NPAs in the hinterlands and embrace the government’s offer under PTF ELCAC.
