Leo Almario II and policeman Jasper Gigante were also wounded in a clash with rebels at Barangay Gaid in Dimasalang town, Roldan said.Officials of the Department of Education in the Bicol region suspended face-to-face classes in elementary and secondary schools in four Masbate towns “until the situation normalizes.”

Roldan said they turned over a carbine rifle with a magazine and 60 bullets; a 9mm KG9 with a magazine; an Ingram 9mm-caliber with a magazine; and an M1911-A1 .45-caliber pistol with a magazine. Maj.
