Elements of Bravo Company were on patrol in Sitio Escolta, Barangay Dungan, Rizal town when they were ambushed at around 6 a.m. Two Philippine Air Force helicopters came to their rescue, but failed to encounter the Red fighters.

Catanduanes: An NPA platoon attacked the armory of Gigmoto mayor Armando T. Guerrero on January 20, seizing high caliber firearms. The mayor was wounded in the raid.

According to Theresa Magtanggol, spokesperson of the Eduardo Banaag Command-NPA of Catanduanes, there was no intention to hurt the mayor. But he was adamant and resisted, leaving the NPA no choice but to shoot back to neutralize him.

Mayor Guerrero is a former policeman and his security agency serves as a front for his being a warlord. He uses his agency to intimidate not only his political rivals but, most of all, the people as well. He is also a protector of illegal drug syndicates in Catanduanes.
