KUTA SANG-AN, LABANGAN, ZABOANGA del
SUR – Reacting
from the information given by the civilian residents. The troops from 10th
Infantry Battalion encountered more or
less 10 New Peoples Army belonging to FLX “A” of the Western Mindanao Regional
Party Committee (WMRPC) in the hinterland of Leon Postigo, Zamboanga del Norte in
the morning of May 3 while the troops are conducting security operation in the
area.
The rebels are camping in the forested area believed
to be fresh from extortion activities in the nearby communities of Leon Postigo
when they were caught by the informed government soldier. The fire fight lasted
for 30 minutes before the enemy withdraw towards unknown direction.
LtCol Nicolas has dispatched more troops to conduct
pursuit operations to the fleeing rebels. The successful operation is the
result of active participation and cooperation of the community to our
government programs. The poor communities are now exhausted to the extortion
demands of the rebels.
