From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 2): Suspected NPAs torch 18-wheeler
truck in Surigao del Sur
Suspected New People's Army (NPA) rebels torched an 18-wheeler truck in San
Agustin, Surigao del Sur early Friday morning after its owner-company allegedly
failed to pay the so-called "revolutionary tax."
The Surigao del Sur Police Provincial Office reported that an armed group
believed belonging to the CPP-NPA under a certain "Ka Jing" fired at a truck in
Sitio Sawogon, Brgy. Salvacion in San Agustin. The driver identified as Jovy
Samarca, was forced to stop and jump out. Thereupon, the armed group approached
the vehicle, poured gasoline and burned the vehicle.
The truck was allegedly owned by DOLE Philippines which reportedly failed to
pay the so-called "revolutionary tax" to the rebels.
Police said two other NPA groups served as blocking forces ahead of the
burning site.
The Surigao del Sur police immediately ordered the Lianga and Marihatag
police stations to be on alert should the burning be just a diversionary tactic
of the rebels in harassing police stations.
A composite Army-PNP team was also immediately organized for a counter
operation, the police report said.
