NPA attacks soldier, army post in Southern Philippines

Chief Editor March 28, 2015

COTABATO CITY – New People’s Army rebels killed a government soldier in an attack Thursday in North Cotabato’s Magpet town and another military post in nearby town of Makilala in southern Philippines, officials said.

Officials said the soldier was travelling alone on a motorcycle when he was attacked by two rebels who tailed him on motorbike in Temporan village.

The identity of the slain soldier was not release by the military, but media reports have named the victim as Ricardo Paghubasan

Another band of rebels also assaulted a post manned by pro-government militias in Makilala town also in North Cotabato, but the attack sparked a firefight. No casualties were reported in the fighting.

There was no immediate statement from the NPA, but security officials put the blamed on the rebel group for the two attacks.

The NPA has been waging a separatist war for many decades now. (Mark Navales)
