From the Manila Bulletin (Nov 30): Soldier dies in Kalinga encounter
A soldier died while three other government troopers and an undetermined number of New People’s Army (NPA) rebels were wounded in a fierce firefight in the outskirt Barangay Baling, Balbalan, Kalinga province last Thursday, a belated report said here yesterday.
Second Lieutenant Charmaine B. Leonero identified the fatality as a certain Private First Class Quisagan, of the army’s 17th Infantry Battalion based in Cagayan province.
The wounded were one Corporal Unida, a PFC Macario and a certain PFC Abordo, all of the same battalion.
Leonero said the soldiers were conducting security patrol operations to respond to a reported harassment of residents by armed NPA rebels in the area when they were fired upon.
