Assisted by two K9 dogs, pursuing Army soldiers caught up with the fleeing New People’s Army rebels on Saturday in Sitio Taleo, Brgy. Milagrosa, Santa Catalina, Negros Oriental, triggering a gun battle.
The gun battle led to the killing of Ruby Almines, who was among the remnants of the defunct South East Front under the Komiteng Rehiyonal Negros/Cebu/Bohol/Siquijor, disclosed by Lt. Col J-Jay Javines, Civil Military Operations chief of the 3rd Infantry Division.
On Thursday night, an Army soldier died in an encounter with about 10 NPA rebels in the same area, which prompted the 11th Infantry Battalion to press their pursuit against the fleeing insurgents.
The encounter on August 24 led to the recovery of two .45 caliber pistols, a hand grenade, an Improvised Explosive Device, and personal belongings left behind by the fleeing rebels.
Army soldiers further recovered M653 assault rifle with seven magazines containing ammunition, an Anti-Personnel Mine (APM) and its accessories, five backpacks containing personnel belongings, tarpaulins and assorted foodstuffs, following another gunbattle on Saturday.
The cadaver of Almines, who is reported to be a high ranking rebel personality by the military, was abandoned at the encounter site by his fleeing comrades, according to a statement issued by the 11th Infantry Battalion.
Combat Tracking Dogs, named Puti and Mugie, were credited by the 3ID for tracking down the fleeing rebels.*
