The New People's Army (NPA) continues to reap brilliant victories, in apt response to the CPP's call to raise the level of people's war.

Albay. An NPA platoon under the Santos Binamera Command successfully ambushed troops from the 22nd IB's Alpha Coy, in Barangay Pinamaniquian, Ligao City on the morning of April 17. The Red fighters seized six high-powered firearms and killed five enemy forces, including a sergeant, two corporals and two ordinary soldiers. Nine soldiers were wounded, including their commander, 1Lt. Vladimir Sta. Maria. There were no casualties on the NPA side.

Pampanga. Red fighters aboard a truck successfully raided a PNP Kababayan Center in Barangay San Antonio, Arayat on the night of April 11, killing two enemy forces and wounding a policeman and a CAFGU element. They seized three M14s and an M16.

One CAFGU element was immediately hit in the first volley and died on the spot. The enemy forces who were taken by surprise tried to fight back but were easily subdued and the detachment was overrun. Unfortunately, a civilian watching television inside the detachment was hit in the crossfire and died.
