-SAN ANDRES, Catanduanes- Girl Scouts from the San Andres Vocational School (SAVS) participated in helping in greening the environment through a tree planting activity on February 4, 2012 at 8:00 a.m.
+A communist rebel was killed while another was arrested after a clash with soldiers in Catanduanes Friday, a military spokesman said.
-The said activity was undertaken as part of the Girl Scouting Program and SAVS’ Green Surroundings Program.
+Major Harold Cabunoc said troops from the Philippine Army’s 83rd Infantry Battalion led by Lieutenant Colonel Rodolfo Batang encountered an undetermined number of guerrillas in Barangay Sioron, Gigmoto town at around 9:30 a.m.
-The former is an action plan covering the whole Girl Scouting environment of fun, adventure, and challenges where girls working alone or in small groups live the Girl Scout Promise (GSP) and develop themselves in self-reliance, self-esteem, and service with the guidance of able and caring adults.
+“We acted on the report by concerned residents that heavily armed rebels were extorting money in the area,” said Batang.
-This is also under the eight-point challenge of GSP which is the Challenge of Environment stating that protection and conservation of the natural resources is very important local and global issue.
+The rebels fled after the clash that lasted five minutes, added Cabunoc.
-On the other hand, the school’s greening program is in support of the nationwide endeavor to protect and preserve the environment.
+The soldiers were able to confiscate an M16 rifle and uzi sub machine gun from the rebels.
-The tree planting coincides with the yes-o camp wherein aside from GSP members, students of SAVS and faculty members of the school were able to participate in the activity.
+No one was hurt among the troops, he said.
