A soldier was killed by suspected NPA rebels in Guinobatan town in Albay Saturday while holding a dialogue with tricycle drivers, a military official said yesterday.
Capt. Mardjorie Paimela Panesa, public affairs officer of the Army’s 9th Infantry Division, declined to name the soldier pending the notification of his family.
She said the soldier was assigned with the Peace and Development Team or Bayanihan Team of the Army’s 2nd Infantry Battalion.
Panesa said the soldier and his companions were holding a “pulong-pulong” with tricycle drivers in Purok 2, Barangay Mapaco around 5 p.m. when a group of rebels opened fire.
Panesa said this was the third time that PDT Team soldiers were harassed in Guinobatan this year.
PDT Teams are formed as part of the Internal Peace and Security Plan Bayanihan.
