'''CPP claims lies; Ka Oris killed in legit clash: Eastmincom'''<br>
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - The Eastern Mindanao Command (Eastmincom) on Tuesday debunked claims of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army-National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF) that one of its high-profile leaders killed by the military in Impasugong, Bukidnon was "unarmed" and "ambushed." Lt. Gen. Greg Almerol, the Eastmincom commander, in a statement, said NPA spokesperson and CPP-NDF leader Jorge "Ka Oris" Madlos was killed in a legitimate encounter, adding that the communist group's claims "is nothing but a final attempt to save face using a tired trope” to discredit the accomplishment of the military unit." “The CPP’s official statement of lies is nothing new. It was nothing but an overused line that the CPP has been using for many years whenever they find themselves in a disadvantaged position,” Almerol said.

'''All Saints’ Day more than just going to cemeteries'''<br>
CABANATUAN CITY, Nueva Ecija – Instead of visiting departed loved ones in cemeteries, local officials here resorted to other worthwhile activities in lieu of the usual observance of All Saints’ Day and shared them on social media to inspire their constituents. Talavera Mayor Nerivi Santos Martinez harvested vegetables from her garden; Gapan Mayor Emerson Pascual went on live video from the city public cemetery to show the place has been cleaned up; and this city’s Mayor Myca Vergara encouraged her constituents to ponder on the memories of their loved ones. All 136 private and public cemeteries and columbaria in the province are closed from Oct. 29 to Nov. 4 to avoid large crowds and the possible transmission of Covid-19.<br>
