From Kalinaw News (Aug 12, 2022): Army troops track down fleeing Communist NPA Terrorists

CAMP GERONA, Murcia, Negros Occidental – Another encounter transpired between elements of 94IB against the fleeing Communist NPA Terrorist members belonging to Central Negros 2, Komiteng Rehiyon – Negros (CN2, KR-N) in Sitio Bulasot, Brgy Buenavista, Himamaylan City, Negros Occidental, August 11, 2022 (Thursday).

With the continuous information coming from the locals, elements of 94IB were able to track down the fleeing Communist NPA Terrorists in the aforementioned area.

It can be recalled that on August 10, 2022 government forces after responding to the information given by concerned residents and former rebels, figured in an encounter against the CNTs at Sitio Bulasot, Brgy Buenavista, Himamaylan City wherein one (1) CNT was killed and war material including one (1) M16 rifle, numerous magazines with live ammunitions along with medical supplies, foodstuffs, and subversive documents were captured.

94IB troops have again captured additional war materials in the encounter site including: one (1) M16 rifle; two (2) Cal. 45 pistols, backpacks, propaganda materials and subversive documents.

Brigadier General Inocencio Pasaporte, 303rd Infantry Brigade Commander again commended the relentless and sustained efforts displayed by the 94th Infantry “Mandirigma” Battalion headed by Lt.Colonel Van Donald Almonte, Battalion Commander, and the local populace of Barangay Buenavista, Himamaylan, Negros Occidental to thwart terroristic acts of the CNTs in the area.

Further, BGen Pasaporte said that “The CNTs in Negros have nowhere to hide as locals even in far-flung areas are cooperative and willing to take part in the government’s thrust of ending the local communist armed conflict, thus, the CNT’s presence anywhere will always be reported to the proper authorities. The communities here in Negros are now aware and have fully realized that the senseless cause of the Communist NPA Terrorist group will never contribute to the development and progress of their community and their families as well.” BGen Pasaporte added.
