Posted to the Kalinaw News Website (Aug 3, 2021): Non-Stop Operations of Gov’t Troops against CTG in Sorsogon Yield another Positive Result (By Agatha Yowzha Arreola)
CAMP ELIAS ANGELES, Pili, Camarines Sur – Government troops conducting pursuit operations following the armed encounter in Bulan, Sorsogon last July 31 clashed anew with the Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) in a nearby Barangay of Padre Diaz, Tuesday, August 3.
Residents in the area tipped off the location of the fleeing terrorists prompting the combined elements of 22nd Infantry Battalion (22IB) under Lieutenant Colonel Nelson Mico, 93rd Division Reconnaissance Company (93DRC) under the operational control of 903rd Infantry Brigade headed by Colonel Aldwine Almase and PNP to trace them around 8:50 in the morning.
After the fierce gunfight, the enemies scampered in different directions.
Molotov bombs, four magazines loaded with ammunition for M14 rifle and bandolier were seized from the encounter site.
Major General Henry A. Robinson Jr., Commander of Joint Task Force Bicolandia directed the troops to continue hunting down the communist insurgents and protect the residents from their unlawful acts.
“Itinuturo na kayo ng mga residente kaya wala na kayong mapagtataguan. Alam naming pagod na rin kayong magtago nang magtago kaya mas mainam na magbalik-loob na kayo. Napakarami na nang sumuko at kakaunti na lamang kayong natitira sa kabundukan. ‘Wag na kayong mag-aksaya ng panahon. Handa kayong tulungan ng gobyerno lalo na ng RTF-ELCAC thru the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) upang makapagbagong buhay kayo,” MGen. Robinson said.
It can be recalled that a communist NPA terrorist was killed in the recent encounter in Barangay San Juan Daan and an M14 rifle and anti-personnel mines were also seized by the operating troops.
