Army troops discovered a large New People’s Army (NPA) terrorist encampment in the hinterland of Barangay Buenavista in Himamaylan City Tuesday morning, spoiling planned rebel attacks.
Captain Ruel S. Llanes, Civil-Military Operations Officer of the 303rd Infantry (Brown Eagle) Brigade, said this was a result of intensified operations being conducted by the brigade and its subordinate units.
Lalnes, in a media statement yesterday, said the operations are designed to address alarming threats posed by terrorist groups in Negros.
