A policeman died at the hospital while a New People's Army
member was killed on the spot in an ambush staged by the rebels on the police
officer who was about to leave his residence to report for duty at Barangay New
Moriones, Ocampo, Camarines Sur, on Tuesday night.
Another rebel was wounded in the incident.
Victim PO2 Christian DJ Vibares of the Tigaon Municipal
Police Office died at the Bicol
Medical Center
Senior Insp. Malou Calobaquib, PNP-Bicol spokesperson, said
Vibares was ambushed at about 7:50 p.m. while leaving his home for Tigaon MPO
to report for duty.
Calubaquid said three rebels, armed with M-16 armalite
rifles, suddenly fired at the police officer but the latter returned fire and
asked for a backup from the Ocampo MPO whose station was near his residence.
The reinforcing officers came in time and engaged the rebels
in an exchange of gunfire, hitting one of the NPA member on the head that
caused his instantaneous death, and wounding another rebel.
The third NPA member was able to escape while the responding
officers recovered the two armalite rifles of the NPA casualties.
The NPA had just celebrated its anniversary on March 29 and
reports said that Vibares was in the rebels' list of persons marked for
liquidation because he had killed rebels in several encounters while he was
still assigned in Sorsogon province.
As of press time, the OMPO has not yet released the names of
the two NPA victims.
Vibares' fellow police officers believe that the rebels
executed the ambush right in front of his residence to finish him off for his
accomplishments against their comrades in Sorsogon.
