TWO rebels were killed in separate encounters with pursuing government troops on Friday, March 28, in Barangay San Francisco and Barangay Cuenco, Las Navas, Northern Samar.
Maj. Jefferson Mariano, Public Affairs chief, 8th Infantry Division (8ID), said the clashes were the result of a focused military operation which became necessary following an information provided by concerned civilians on the presence of an armed group conducting extortion activities in the area.
