FOUR POLICE officers were wounded after members of the New People’s Army (NPA) attacked the police station in Binuangan town, Misamis Oriental about 3:15 a.m. yesterday, Dec. 3, the latest in a series of clashes between communist rebels and state forces following an announced plan by President Duterte to declare the NPA a “terrorist group.” Police Regional Office-10 spokesperson Superintendent Lemuel Gonda identified the wounded police personnel as: Senior Police Officer 1 Ramonito Zambas, Police Officer 3 Alberto Bernadas, PO1 Josua Satur, and Senior Inspector Dante Hallazgo. Mr. Gonda said the policemen sustained minor injuries following the explosion of an M203 Rifle grenade of the NPA rebels. The rebels, however, failed in their aim to get the firearms at the police station and retreated to the hinterlands after getting a withering counterfire from the government side. — interaksyon.com
