From the Philippine News Agency (Dec 18, 2020): 5 Reds killed in Rizal clash (By Christopher Lloyd Caliwan)
Five suspected New People's Army (NPA) terrorists were killed in an encounter with joint police and military units in Rizal province early Thursday.
In a report to Camp Crame, Col. Joseph Arguelles, chief of the Rizal Police Provincial Office, said the clash ensued at Sitio Malalim, Barangay San Juan in Baras town at around 2:30 a.m.
The suspects were identified as a certain "Ka Sandra"/"Minda", medical officer of Sub-Region Military Area (SRMA-4A) of the communist movement's Southern Tagalog Regional Party Committee (STRPC) operating in the provinces of Laguna, Rizal, and Quezon and reportedly the wife of an alias "Luis", secretary of the Guerilla Front Cesar; and one "Ka Onli"/"Rusi"/"Ustad", reportedly an intelligence officer of the SRMA-4A.
The three other suspects have yet to be identified.
The operation was carried out to implement a warrant of arrest against a certain "Dads", a ranking leader of the STRPC for frustrated murder.
During the service of the warrant, the suspects together with several other NPA members fired upon the arresting officers.
"Firefight ensued that resulted in the death of five above said CTG suspects while others scampered in different directions and are now subject of manhunt operation," Arguelles added.
Recovered from the suspects were two M-16 automatic rifles; one .45-caliber pistol, one Uzi machine pistol, a .38-caliber revolver, several electronic devices, and subversive documents.
