CAMP VICENTE LUKBAN, Catbalogan City, Samar – A government forces operation resulted in the death of a communist-terrorist group (CTG) member on October 23, 2024, during a clash in Barangay Barayong, Motiong, Samar.
Troops from the 87th Infantry Battalion engaged with three suspected members of the Yakal Platoon, part of the Sub-Regional Committee Browser of the Eastern Visayas Regional Party Committee.
The confrontation lasted around five minutes before the enemy forces retreated in a southeastern direction.
On the following day, soldiers discovered the body of the insurgent known by the aliases "Tisoy" or "Pogi."
Alongside the body, they recovered an M14 rifle, ammunition, anti-personnel mines, and various personal items.
As operations continue, the military remains focused on its mission to counter insurgency and protect communities despite the toll it sometimes exacts on its members.
