DAET, Camarines Norte, March 22 (PIA) – The Philippine National Police (PNP) remained in full alert status following the death of 5 cops in an encounter while conducting critical infrastructure and investment security operations on March 19 at Brgy. Dumagmang, Labo here.
PCol. Julius D. Guadamor, provincial director of Camarines Norte Police Provincial Office (CNPPO) said that personnel from the 2nd Provincial Mobile Force Company led by PLt. Louie James V. Amoy led the security operations and encountered undetermined number of Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) members in the area.
CNPPO continuously monitors up-to-date situation in the province to pre-empt any terroristic attacks that might be launched by this barbaric group.

Extreme efforts were undertaken to extricate the bodies of the fallen from the scene.
Guadamor said that the merciless act of the CPP-NPA is a strong verification of their deceptive and fly-by-night activities that imperils the peace and security situation in the region.
The said team were sent out in the area purposely to address several reported extortions among small scale miners and forcing the contractors for 3-5% share on the total project cost of Labo-Tagkawayan Road linking Camarines Norte to Quezon Province.
