Eight enemy forces of the 69th IB were killed and an undetermined number were wounded after a team of the 1st Pulang Bagani Company-NPA on Sept. 19 at 1:15 pm engaged them in a firefight preceded by an explosion of seven command detonated explosive in sitio Banban, Brgy Lumiad, Paquibato district, Davao city. Yet, the enemy not only concealed the casualties, the 10th Infantry Division-Eastern Mindanao Command went as far as to publicize a fake victory in saying that their forces overrun a big NPA camp and seized several explosives and high powered rifles.
Ito ang makatarungang tugon ng rebolusyonaryong kilusan sa kahilingan ng mamamayan na parusahan ang rehimeng US-Aquino sa walang lubay na pagpapahirap at panlilinlang sa mamamayan habang walang puknat ang paninibasib ng malupit na operasyong militar at civil-military operation (CMO) ng 9th Infantry Division ng Philippine Army (9th IDPA) at Philippine National Police (PNP) sa kanayunan. Sa natipong ulat ng NDF-Bicol Information Office umabot sa 31 ang kumpirmadong kaswalti sa AFP at PNP sa 14 na labanang naiulat mula Agosto 15 hanggang Setyembre 23.
