DUMAGUETE CITY – Families of three suspected New People’s Army (NPA) members killed in separate encounters with government troops this week have claimed the remains, according to Army officials on Friday.
The deceased NPA rebels were identified as Dionisio Baloy, 67, of Barangay Linantuyan; Bernard Torres Sr., 56, a resident of Barangay Buenavista, both in Guihulngan City; and Edmar Pat Solano, of legal age and a resident of Sitio Omol, Barangay Talalak in Sta. Catalina town, all in Negros Oriental.
Solano's family claimed his remains on Friday, a day after he was killed in an encounter with troops of the Army’s 11th Infantry Battalion in Sitio Sug-ong, Barangay Milagrosa in Sta. Catalina, according to Lt. Col. Michael Aquino, battalion commanding officer.
Solano (alias Meme/Maymay/Jane) was a member of Squad 1 of the dismantled South East Front.
Meanwhile, the remains of Baloy and Torres were turned over to their families on Thursday after they were killed in an encounter with 62nd Infantry Battalion troops in Barangay Sag-ang, La Castellana, Negros Occidental.
Both belonged to remnants of the NPA’s Central Negros 1 guerilla front, the same armed group that figured in previous encounters in Guihulngan City and Moises Padilla, Negros Oriental. (PNA)
