GATTARAN, Cagayan -- A five-minute armed
skirmish erupted here Monday between seven suspected New People’s Army rebels
and police.
Lt. Col. Andree Michelle Camhol-Abella, Cagayan Valley police spokesperson, said the gun battle ensued after the rebels fired on the 2nd Provincial Mobile Force Company members.
Reports said the police were building a structure under their free house project at SitioSicalan in Barangay Mabuno when the rebels spotted them.
The policemen fought back and engaged the rebels in a gunfight, said Hernes Ramos, Mabuno village chair.
A team from the 77th Infantry Battalion soldiers responded to the scene, forcing the rebels to retreat.
No one was wounded in the skirmish, but government troops found some slippers, kitchen utensils, and other personal belongings reportedly owned by the rebels at the scene.
