Zambo Sur poultry farm burned by NPA rebels

From the Philippine News Agency (Oct 27): Zambo Sur poultry farm burned by NPA rebels

New People’s Army rebels have torched two poultry farm buildings after the owner failed to accede to their demand payment of revolutionary taxes in the province of Zamboanga del Sur, officials disclosed Saturday. Army’s 1st Infantry Division spokesman Capt. Alberto Caber said the incident took place around 12:30 a.m. Friday in Barangay Dalaon, Molave, Zamboanga del Sur. Investigation showed that seven NPA rebels, including an amazon, barged into the compound of the poultry owned by Onyx Go and herded the workers into one corner, Caber said. Some of the NPA rebels frisked and confiscated the mobile phones of the workers while the rest of them started pouring gasoline into the two buildings and set it ablaze, Caber added. The NPAs, who were clad in bonnet masks, fled and later called Go through a mobile phone to inform the businessman of the incident, he said. The NPAs also warned Go to heed their demands so that his poultry farm will be spared from further attack, he added.... The attackers were reported to belong to the NPA’s Western Mindanao Regional Party Committee operating here in the region.
