success to the project came when Villapando, Commander Gueverra, two huk bodyguards, Master Sergeant Camacho and Corporal Martillana were riding in a jeep. Master Sergeant Camacho, who was at the wheel, stopped at the vicinity of Barrio Tabon, Calauan, Laguna on the pretense that the jeep needed some oil. He got out of the vehicle to pour oil on the engine, while corporal Martillana followed presumably to help him. At a pre-arranged signal they immediately opened fire on the Huks and, with concentrated fire, they were able to kill Commander Villapando, Commander Gueverra and one Huk bodyguard. One of the Huks managed to shoot back, hitting Corporal Martillana, who died soon afterwards. The extraordinary heroism and indomitable courage displayed by Corporal Martillana will inevitably form a part of the glorious traditions of our Armed Forces." Commemoration Camp Weene Martillana, a Philippine Army camp in Pili, Camarines Sur, is named in his honor.
