The Armed Forces of the Philippines’ Visayas Command announced that Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army rebels took another heavy defeat after 25 of its members were neutralized last July.
Eight of 25 NPAs reported neutralized died during encounters with VISCOM forces while the remaining 17 “returned to the folds of the law.” It can be recalled that on July 16, members of the 42nd Infantry Battalion delivered a huge blow against the CPP-NPA as their incessant localized peace engagement resulted to the recovery of an arms cache, containing four M-16 rifles; five M-14 rifles; one M-79 grenade launcher; one shotgun; three anti-personnel mines; and several other war materials in Barangay Boco, Can-avid, Eastern Samar.
