A day after the interment of NPA spokesman Silvino "Ka Bino" Clamucha, an encounter between government troops and the New People's Army ensued in sitio Anislag, Batuan town past 6 o'clock Sunday morning.

The running gunbattle which lasted for almost two hours killed three rebels and a government trooper. The site of the latest encounter was situated about 10 kilometers from Batuan proper and 50 kilometers from this capital city.

The slain rebels were identified as Ramil Item, of Dagohoy town, while two others were identified only as Ka Roger (formerly Ka Inting) and Ka Alvin, their aliases in the underground movement.

The lone casualty in the government side was identified as Sgt. Menardo Modelo, 43, of Negros.

The latest encounter, which came eight days after the Catigbian encounter, was part of the military's massive manhunt of some 40 armed rebels who were supposed to hold a meeting in a secluded barangay last March 5. NPA spokesman Clamucha was one of the two slain rebels in the Catigbian clash.

"The NPAs are on the run," claims Major Raul Mendez, civil military operations officer of the 302nd Infantry Brigade based in Carmen town. He said that Sunday's encounter was the sixth to have happened in the current quarter of this year.

Mendez said that the armed group belonged to Front 1 of the NPA operating in western and central Bohol.

He admitted that a hot pursuit has continued after the Catigbian encounter. Troopers from the 28th Special Forces Company, under Lt. Ohnny Bayog based in Bilar town, have been conducting the manhunt of the rebels who fled during the March 5 encounter.
