Four suspected New People's Army rebels were killed following a clash with government security forces in Quezon province Friday, a military report said.


LUCENA CITY, Quezon- A Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) officer urged the consumers to ask receipt whenever they buy any goods and services to join in "Premyo sa Resibo" contest.
At 12:10 p.m., elements of the Army's 85th Infantry Battalion engaged six insurgents who reportedly intruded the house of one Zenaida Guzo in Peñafrancia village in Lopez town.


In a radio interview at DWLC-Radyo ng Bayan, District Officer Yolanda Ferrer said that aside from winning P1 million and other exciting prizes, the people can also help the government in generating taxes.
"The rebels fired their guns when my soldiers approached the house. The soldiers used their excellent marksmanship skills to engage the armed rebels who refused to surrender despite the demand from the soldiers," the report quoted battalion commander, Lt. Col. Oliver Maquiling, as saying.


“We are encouraging the people to get receipts from the business establishments and services from professionals like doctors, dentists, lawyers to enforce them to issue receipts,” Ferrer added.
Two of the rebels died on the spot. The other rebel fatalities where declared dead on arrival by local hospital doctors. The two other rebels escaped while no government casualties were reported. Recovered from the rebels were two M16 rifles and one M653 rifle.  


Ferrer explained that the participants in this contest can have one entry for every P100 reflected in the official receipt up to a maximum of 50 entries.
No civilians died during the clash, Maquiling said. "Mrs. Guzo revealed that her husband and son are both unscathed in the firefight. Both of them are cooperating with the police in the investigation."
 
Meanwhile, she encouraged the tax payers to pay their taxes on accurate amount and avoid tampering of taxes.
Less than two weeks ago, 3 rebels were also killed in another clash with the Army in San Francisco town, the same military report said.
 
She said that if the people will pay their taxes in the right amount, the government could implement many programs beneficial to the poor residents.
