Military secures vital installation in Leyte against rebel attacks

From the Philippine Information Agency (Dec 14): Military secures vital installation in Leyte against rebel attacks

Government troops from the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police continue to secure vital installations in Leyte like the geothermal plant located in Kananga town and the city of Ormoc. Captain Dranreb Canto, 802nd Infantry Brigade public information officer, said the military is considering all vital installations as soft target of attacks. He said that while the military has not monitored or received information that the New People’s Army (NPA) will attack vital installations, they will not put their guard down. The rebel group has initiated two separate attacks this month in the towns of Jaro and Albuera both of the province of Leyte. It was learned that a troop under the 802nd is stationed inside the geothermal complex to ensure the safety of its personnel and all its structures. The military is making sure that the geothermal plant is secured against attacks of the rebel group as the plant supplies electricity not just in Leyte province but the whole of Eastern Visayas region including those of the nearby regions and some parts of Luzon.
