Madaay Gasic, spokesman of Lucio de Guzman Command operating in Mindoro island, said in a press statement, that a unit of their command waylaid policemen of the 403rd B Regional Mobile Force Batallion of the PNP Mimaropa (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Palawan) Command at about 11:35 a.m. on September 28 at Sitio Mabajo, and later set on fire their patrol vehicle.

While they were perpetrating the ambush, some of NPA rebels also fired at the detachment of the RFMB, which was located nearby in Barangay Cabalwa, Gasic said.
The three wounded PNP personnel Corporal Vincent Dominguez, Cpl. Michael Librea and Patrolman Norman Alvaro and the two unharmed companions were immediately brought to Roxas District Hospital by civilian rescuers from Mansalay.
PNP Mimaropa Director Brig. Gen. Pascual G. Munoz has condemned the attack and reported that his office has already given financial assistance to the five policemen.
Gasic said the ambush was in retaliation to previous military and police operations against them and Mangyan natives in Oriental and Occidental Mindoro which reportedly resulted to the death of some of their comrades and evacuation of affected residents.
The NPA blasted the police and military forces in Mindoro for an alleged bombing operation in a farmland of Mangyans in Socorro town on May 31.
“The ambush was conducted to give revolutionary justice to all peoples who were victimized and terrorized by PNP-Mimaropa and 203rd Brigade,” Gasic said in his statement which was emailed to Mindoro-based media.
On September 16 and September 22, the NPA also launched two sniping operations against a detachment of 203rd Infantry Brigade at Sitio Mantay, Barangay Monteclaro, San Jose, Occidental Mindoro, Gasic said.
