The Philippine National Police (PNP) has placed its forces on alert to thwart possible hostile actions by the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP)-National Democratic Front-New People’s Army (CPP-NDF-NPA) which is celebrating its 44th founding anniversary on March 29.
Police Regional Office-9 (PRO-9) Chief Supt. Juanito Vaño has ordered all his provincial and city directors to be on alert and “take extra defensive measures to pre-empt any possible violence” that the CPP-NDF-NPA may carry out ahead of the scheduled anniversary.
“Secure all police camps, vital installation, economic key points and places where people converge. Work and coordinate closely with the local government units, our force multipliers and the military, to prevent harassments of PNP personnel, ambuscades, raids, and sabotage of cell sites,” Vaño said in his directive.
Vaño said the NPA might employ tactical guerilla style warfare on soft targets such as isolated and less fortified police and military outposts, government installations and infrastructure and vital facilities.
He also enjoined the public to be vigilant and help the police in denying the CPP-NDF-NPA the chance “to wreak havoc as acts of terrorism and violence are the way how they celebrate their founding anniversary.”
“Together, let us end to these treacherous acts of the CPP-NDF-CPP who masquerade themselves as pro-people but in reality they take pride in revering violence,” he said.
He reminded the policemen under his command to strongly implement the so-called PNP three-tiered defense system on heightened intelligence, target hardening and incident management to downtrend NPA attacks on vital installations and soft targets.
