MANILA, Philippines – An Air Force man was killed and two colleagues were wounded in an ambush by communist rebels in Calaca, Batangas last Wednesday, the Philippine Air Force (PAF) said yesterday.

PAF spokesman Lt. Col. Ernesto Miguel Okol said the three were cruising Barangay Calantas in Calaca town on a motorcycle when they were fired at.

Okol said Airman First Class Darwin de Roxas died on the spot, while Airmen Second Class Rommel Tiosin and Aaron Manalo were brought to a hospital in Balayan town.

“The (three) were part of the barangay community development teams reaching out to the different barangays in their area of responsibility,” Okol said in a text message.

He condemned what he called the insurgents’ “treacherous” act, saying that pursuit operations were ongoing against the ambushers.
