Two troops of the 44th Marine Company of the 4th Marine Battalion Landing Team were wounded in a firefight with New People’s Army guerrillas in northern Palawan early Wednesday morning.
MBLT4 commander, Colonel Vince Blanco said his troops believed they had also seriously wounded at least one rebel during the clash in Barangay Pancol, Taytay town.
Blanco said the Marines were on their way back to their base in Pancol when they saw around seven men who appeared to be planting an improvised explosive device by the roadside.
However, the rebels managed to detonate the IED, triggering the firefight.
