THE two police officers, who were seriously wounded in an encounter with communist rebels recently, are recovering and are now out of danger, a Camp Alagar officer said.
Police Regional Office-10 spokesman Supt. Surki Sereñas said PO2 Harvey Lagura Mutia and PO1 Cleoford Galla Cañete, who are both members of the Regional Mobile Force Battalion in Bukidnon, are now safely recovering at Laviña Hospital in Valencia City, Bukidnon, where they were rushed after the encounter.
Sereñas added that they sent their own doctor to the hospital to personally attend to Mutia and Cañete.
Both police officers were wounded when an undetermined number of New People’s Army rebels fired at the police checkpoint in Sitio Colon, Halapitan, San Fernando town in Bukidnon, at 9:30 am on Dec. 26, the 50th founding anniversary of the Communist Party of the Philippines.
