TUGUEGARAO CITY – Two New People’s Army rebels were wounded in an encounter with police and military operatives who took over their encampment in Barangay Asinga Via in Baggao, Cagayan Thursday.

The NPA guerrillas dragged their wounded rebels as they escaped, said Chief Insp. Romar Pacis, Baggao police chief.

Pacis said authorities recovered guns, sacks of rice, food, an improvised bomb, a laptop and medical supplies from the NPA lair.

A manhunt has been launched for the rebels.
