Government forces in Bulacan, particularly in the northeastern part, are on alert status over confirmed sightings of a band of New People’s Army (NPA) guerrillas in Dona Remedios Trinidad (DRT ) town and in the mountains of Umiray, Aurora, which is close to Bulacan’s mountain town of Norzagaray.

Senior Supt. Romeo Caramat Jr., Bulacan acting police director, told Gov. Wilhelmino Sy-Alvarado and Vice Gov. Daniel Fernando during a Peace and Order Council (PPOC) meeting on Thursday that the communist rebels were spotted in the mountain village of Kabayunan, DRT last February 7.
