CURRIMAO, Ilocos Norte -- A
former communist rebel was killed when he and five others reportedly clashed
with policemen and army troopers in a village here night of Oct. 23.
Carlo Magbulos from barangay
Gulpeng, Pinili town, was killed when his group fired at authorities who were
alerted of an armed group’s presence in Barangay Cabuusan in the town.
Currimao police said when
authorities were approaching Magbulos’ group, and declared they were police and
military officers, they were fired at by the group.

farming.

came from the farm and was in the company of other farmers.
