MANILA, Philippines – Members of the 41st Infantry Battalion of the Philippine Army killed five members of the New People’s Army in Abra Thursday morning, an Army official said.
Major Calixto Cadano, 5th Infantry Division Public Affairs Office Chief, said the Army troops were conducting security operations in Barangay (village) Guinguinabang, Lacub when they chanced upon the armed communists.
As of posting time, the firefight is ongoing.
Army troops recovered five high-powered firearms from the site and no casualties from the government side has been reported.
“Prior to the incident, villagers tipped off the presence of the NPA’s who are on extortion activities and collecting foodstuffs from the populace,” Cadano said.
Lieutenant Colonel Virgilo Noora, Commanding Officer of the 41st IB, said that civilians in the area told them that the communist rebels they encountered were not from the area.
“The barangay folk said that the NPA’s who are extorting from them are not from Abra but from other areas that’s why the people are really distrustful of them,” Noora said.

Posted by lollipop | September 10, 2014, 4:06 pmNPAs who are recruited locally does know the ulterior motives of communism. They were put into front lines by ideologues with battle cries to fight corruptions, human rights violations, and many others. Student activists in the metropolis are master propagandist. The truth is, they still hope to communized the Philippines with their outdated ideology. They would not stop. But one military spokes person said “Either, the military would not allow Communism to overthrow democracy”. Local people knows exactly the NPA ways and are fed of it.

Posted by salapadan boy | September 17, 2014, 7:34 pmI am always fascinated by people who have not been at the NPA government…………. second guessing people who have been. No deal with the NPA is ever perfect, or meets all the needs of either sides, that’s the nature of TRYING TO BE EDUCATED in their own belief
