Senior Superintendent Francisco Don Montenegro, Batangas police director, said at least 10 rebels swooped down on an Air Force safehouse in Barangay Puting Buhangin, San Juan town Saturday night, killing 15-year-old Jeffrey Juego and wounding Air Force man Arvin Tampil and two other civilians.
The rebels, however, failed to overrun the Air Force safehouse as soldiers and militiamen fought it out for 30 minutes.
In Lopez, Quezon, a 40-year-old farmer was killed when men of the Armys 76th Infantry Brigade clashed with NPA rebels last Friday afternoon. Arnell Ozaeta
