A member of Special Cafgu Active Auxiliary (SCAA) was killed while three other soldiers were wounded when a gunbattle erupted between the security force of a tree plantation and heavily armed New People’s Army (NPA) rebels at Stand 32, Purok 7, Barangay Zillovia in Talacogon, Agusan del Sur, the military said yesterday.
Maj. Christian C. Uy, the Army’s 4th Infantry (Diamond) Division spokesperson, identified the slain SCAA member as Carlito M. Perez, Sr. Wounded were Cpl. Adul A. Sadjael, Pfc. Viermie A. Polinar and Cpl. Roberto A. Tejeros.
Uy said the SCAA force was conducting security patrol in the tree plantation when harassed by some 30 NPA rebels.
“Our reinforcing ground troops also believed that they inflict undetermined casualties on the enemy side during the more than 30 minutes heavy gunbattle,” said Uy.
The rebels are members of Guerilla-Front Committee 88 of the CPP-NPA Northeastern Mindanao Regional Committee, he said.
