BACOLOD City – The Army’s 79th Infantry Battalion (IB) recovered some live ammunition and subversive documents at the former temporary encampment of the New People’s Army (NPA) at Sitio Adlatawan, Barangay Buluangan, San Carlos City, Negros Occidental last Thursday.
Brigadier General Inocencio Pasaporte, commander of the 303rd Infantry Brigade (IBde), said that 15 pieces of live ammunition of a .9mm caliber firearm, four live ammunition of a shotgun, and a bundle of subversive documents were recovered.
Pasaporte said these items were placed inside a plastic container that was buried in the said area.
Aside from these, some cellular phones were also found.
He said the Army was able to locate the said hideout following information from former NPA rebels who surrendered to the authorities.
He said that NPA rebels probably stayed there in 2013 and left the area after the dismantlement of the Northern Negros Front (NNF).
