One of the soldiers was allegedly hacked to death and burned.
Aragones described the attack as"barbaric and treacherous." The rebels, according to Aragones, also looted the dead soldier's belongings.
"We mourn the death of one of our [soldiers] whose death [was] caused by the treachery of the NPA," Aragones said. It was learned that before the incident happened, rebels allegedly harassed Army personnel and even the Army patrol base engaged in community support programs in the said village.. We will not tolerate and we are taking military action to stop these atrocities made by the NPA who are trying to disturb peace and development in Samar," Aragones said. –
