A suspected New People’s Army rebel died in renewed armed clashes with Army soldiers in Brgy. Quintin Remo, Moises Padilla, Negros Occidental, on August 5.
The series of encounters ensued after soldiers of the 62nd Infantry Battalion responded to reports by civilians on the presence of eight armed NPA rebels in Sitio Leong, Brgy. Imelda, Guihulngan City, Negros Oriental.
In a statement issued by the 62nd Infantry Battalion, the gun battle between a group of armed rebels ensued at about 5:45 a.m. of Aug. 5, which lasted about 10 minutes.
The fleeing rebels left behind a caliber .45 pistol with a magazine containing ammunition, two back packs with personal belongings, which were recovered at the encounter site by pursuing 62IB soldiers.
Pursuit operations also led to another encounter between Army soldiers and three suspected rebels in Sitio Cansimba, Brgy. Quintin Remo, Moises Padila, believed to have been among the rebels fleeing from the initial encounter site in neighboring Brgy. Imelda, Guihulngan City.
After a three-minute gunbattle, Army soldiers scouring the encounter site discovered a cadaver of a slain rebel and recovered a .38 caliber revolver, a hand grenade, and personal belongings.
The identity of slain rebel has yet not been established as of last night.*
