Injured, abandoned NPA rebel seized by soldiers

[Inquirer] An injured communist militant was captured by Philippine troops after his comrades left him behind following a clash in Makilala, North Cotabato, on Saturday morning.

Military spokesman Silver Belvis said Randy Indo of Barangay Sibulan, Santa. Cruz, Davao del Sur, was turned over by residents to soldiers. Troops recovered an M-16 assault rifle and four improvised landmines after the encounter with New People’s Army militants in Barangay Batasan.

According to Belvis, residents of Barangay Batasan reported the presence of armed men in their community. Soldiers were sent to verify the report but were met by gunfire from rebels of the NPA Guerilla Front 51, Southern Mindanao Regional Committee under Commander Makoy.

A brief clash broke out which prompted the militants to flee into the forest. That afternoon, soldiers found Indo in the company of residents who turned him over to soldiers, who brought him to the hospital.
