Soldiers, rebels clash
anew in Siaton town

BY JUDY F. PARTLOW

A 15-minute firefight ensued between government troopers and suspected New People’s Army rebels in Barangay Apoloy, Siaton town in Negros Oriental, at about 9:40 a.m. yesterday.

Initial report from the Philippine Army showed that soldiers from the 32nd Division Reconnaissance Company of the 3rd Infantry Division, were conducting patrol operation at Sitio Danao, in Brgy. Apoloy, when they were fired upon by around nine suspected rebels and an amazon.

No casualty was reported on the government side and it was undermined if the rebels suffered losses, the Army said. Recovered at the encounter site were two jungle hammocks, two backpacks, one gas stove with attaché case, a communist flag, personal belongings and subversives documents, it added.

NOPPO ordered to investigate
shooting of parking attendant

BY JUANCHO GALLARDE

Gov. Roel Degamo has directed Senior Supt. Edward Carranza, director of the Negros Oriental Police Provincial Office, to leave no stone unturned in investigating the shooting of a parking attendant in front of a hospital in Dumaguete City Tuesday.

Whoever is the victim, he or she should be treated equally, Degamo said. He also called on the gunman to surrender, and said the provincial government is willing to help the suspect if he reveals the name of the mastermind.

Jesus Bulpat Fabe Jr., 33, of San Isidro in Tanjay City, Negros Oriental, was in his workplace in front of the Silliman University Medical Center when he was shot four times at around 11 a.m. Tuesday.
