He said the troops were in Barangay Ilayang Yuni performing mission in relation to preventing the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) when they obtained information that more or less 20 NPA members were extorting money from residents in the area.
He said troops then responded and a firefight took place. The military was able to recover two firearms.
The military said this was the third encounter between government troops and communists in Southern Tagalog since Saturday incident in which a soldier and an NPA gunman were killed when a Philippine Army Community Support Program (CSP) Team and communist insurgents had an encounter in Rodriguez, Rizal.
