4 soldiers killed in NPA attack in Camarines Sur
05/30/2010 | 03:48 PM

(Updated 7:10 p.m.) Four Army soldiers, including a lieutenant, were killed while three others were wounded in an ambush staged by communist New People’s Army (NPA) rebels in Camarines Sur province Sunday dawn, a military spokesman said.

Maj. Harold Cabunoc, spokesman of the Army’s 9th Infantry Division, said government troops recovered the body of the slain soldiers around 3 p.m. Sunday, or 12 hours after the ambush. The

The four, along with another one identified as Pfc. Bernard Vergara, were earlier reported missing in action after they were waylaid at San Francisco village in Presentacion town at around 3 a.m. while maneuvering a steep terrain. Vergara was found unscathed.

Slain in the ambush were 1Lt. Miguel Logronio Jr, a member of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) class of 2009; Cpl. Arturo Hernandez; Pfc Albert Jamera; and Pfc Edwin Britannico. They succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds and shrapnel wounds.

The five soldiers were part of a 12-man team from the 42nd Infantry Battalion that was dispatched Saturday night to pursue the band of NPA rebels that attacked an Army detachment at nearby Bicalen village where a soldier, Pfc. Alvin Arias, was killed.

Cabunoc said the detachment is tasked to provide security to “flagship infrastructure projects" of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in the province.

Three of the eight soldiers who survived the ambush— Pfc. Jerry Magdasoc, Pfc. Carlos Codires, and Pfc. Ronnie Villaluna—were wounded.

Cabunoc said the responding soldiers led by 1Lt. Nonito Alcala found four unexploded landmines near the ambush site.

“The rebels were planning to wipe out any military vehicle that will pass by their ambush position. They have planted larger sized landmines near the road and any large truck can be blown to pieces by those mines," he said

Because of these attacks, 9th Infantry Division commander Maj. Gen. Ruperto Pabustan directed Army units in the Bicol Region to tighten security in President Arroyo’s flagship projects.

“The [communist rebels] dislike the implementation of development projects because they want the people to remain poor and illiterate to easily manipulate them," he said. - with Sopiha Dedace/KBK, GMANews.TV

1st Lieutenant Mike G. Nollora died yesterday while fighting NPA rebels in the hinterland of San Jose, Occidental Mindoro. He was the Charlie Company Commander of the 4th Infantry Battalion stationed in the island. He is from Panabo City, Davao Del Norte but he gave his life serving and protecting the lives of the people of Occidental Mindoro. 1Lt Nollora has been with the 4th Infantry Battalion since he graduated from the PMA in 2009. As Commanding Officer of the Charlie Company, he is known for his community organizing works, particularly among the Mangyans. He even died while on a peace and development mission in the area. He is a father of two kids...Our highest respect
