A CAFGU Active Auxiliary detachment was harassed on September 8, 2:30 in the afternoon by Red fighters of the Leonardo Panaligan Command – New People’s Army (LPC-NPA) at Barangay Guba, Vallehermoso, Negros Oriental.

According to LPC-NPA spokesperson Ka JB Regalado, residents who witnessed the incident reported “the death of a fascist soldier.”

Regalado explained that the NPA responded to the demand of the people for the punishment of the CAA elements, under the administration of the 62nd Infantry Battalion, who violated human rights of civilians, spread disinformation or deception, forcibly recruited the youth to join the CAFGU by threatening and red-tagging them, pressured peasants to surrender as NPA members and perpetrated extrajudicial killings.
