PAGADIAN CITY—The military on Friday tagged communist rebels as behind Thursday’s burning of five pieces of heavy equipment in Calamba, Misamis Occidental.
Major General Roseller Murillo, commander of the Army’s 1st Infantry Division based in Zamboanga del Sur, said around 15 New People’s Army (NPA) rebels set ablaze the machineries owned by RN Builders in Barangay Salvador.
“This terroristic act of the NPA rebels hinders progress and development of the communities in our area of responsibility,” Murillo said.
He urged “every individual and contractors to cooperate and report to us any suspicious groups and their activities in order prevent another burning incident.” /jpv
