Propaganda news story posted to the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) Website (Oct 1, 2020): NPA-Western Samar strikes at 19th IB anew
NEWS STORIESOCTOBER 01, 2020
Five fascist soldiers were killed and 12 were wounded after elements of the 19th Infantry Battalion were ambushed by the New People’s Army-Western Samar (Arnulfo Ortiz Command) in Barangay Santa Cruz, Matuguinao last September 26 at around five in the morning.
The NPA-AOC employed a command-detonated explosive (CDX) against a unit of the 19th IB. The battle lasted 30 minutes. The NPA-AOC fighters safely withdrew without casualty.
In reaction, the military fired 105mm howitzer rounds toward a waiting shed in nearby Barangay San Isidro around 7 a.m. Judging by the proximity to the ambush site, the artillery shelling aims to instill fear and endanger the masses.
Meanwhile, the NPA-Northern Samar (Rodante Urtal Command) harassed elements of the CAFGU under the 43rd IB in Barangay Pagsang-an, San Roque during the first week of September. The CAFGU elements, including their 43rd IB controller, scampered away. No NPA fighter was hurt.
