GOVERNMENT Troops found three New People’s Army (NPA)
camps in two separate operations in Samar, the Army reported
Wednesday.
An abandoned NPA camp was found
on Sunday in Carolina Village, Matuguinao in Western Samar by
combined military troops. It had three satellite posts, three
kitchens, three comfort rooms, a bleacher and 41 bunkers that can
accommodate more or less 60 NPA rebels.
Troops recovered a caliber .45
pistol, a caliber .38 revolver, an anti-personnel mine, two Motorola
handheld radios, an ICOM battery charger, five gallons of rice, a
box of sardines, acupuncture paraphernalia, four tapes and
subversive documents.
Likewise, soldiers found two more
abandoned camps in Victory Village, Las Navas in Northern Samar.
One camp had four makeshift huts
that can accommodate more or less nine NPA rebels; while the second
camp had 11 makeshift huts that can accommodate 16 people.
The discovery of the camps is
part of the military’s continuous campaign against the communist
rebels.
