Southern Tagalog. Red fighters in the region launched three separate tactical offensives almost simultaneously on February 18. In Occidental Mindoro, Red fighters successfully ambushed troops of the 16th IB in Barangay Ligang, Mamburao, killing two soldiers and wounding five troopers. The PNP immediately came to the rescue but the guerrillas had already made a safe retreat. Meanwhile, Red fighters threw a grenade on Camp Guillermo Nakar, headquarters of the Southern Luzon Command in Lucena City. In Barangay Kahil, Calaca, Batangas, Red fighters assaulted a military detachment.

Catanduanes. Four policemen were killed and seven wounded in two separate tactical offensives on February 14 in Virac, Catanduanes. The offensive was carried out by fighters under the NPA Nerissa San Juan Command.

It was around 7 a.m. when the NPA attacked a PNP Aviation Security Command (AVSECOM) checkpoint at the Virac Airport in Barangay San Isidro, Virac, Catanduanes. The guerrillas seized an M16 and a 9 mm pistol from the two dead policemen.

Two other policemen were killed and seven wounded in two separate firefights that took place at around 7:30 a.m. in Barangay Pumiton. The NPA ambushed the policemen who came to reinforce the AVSECOM troops. Catanduanes PNP chief Sr. Supt. Gorgonio Rosero, who led the reinforcement, was seriously wounded.
