Armed men seize 6 DENR subcontractors in Compostela Valley

.From InterAksyon (May 31): Armed men seize 6 DENR subcontractors in Compostela Valley



Unidentified armed men abducted Friday six subcontractors of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) from Manila doing work for the National Greening Program in Barangay New Leyte, Maco, Compostela Valley.

The 10th Infantry Division identified the victims as Kendrick Wong,Nico, Lasaca, Chris Favila, Mathew Chua, Jonas Loredo, and Tim Sabino.

The military said they were “conducting validation to the Maco CENRO (Community Environment an at around 2 p.m., and then “brought to unknown direction.”

Early this week, Laak town Mayor Reynaldo Navarro was ambushed and killed by still unidentified armed men initially reported as members of the New People’s Army, but the NPA disowned the incident. Two of the six armed men were also killed by the security escorts of the mayor.

Navarro’s driver and two police escorts were seriously wounded. Two civilian bystanders were also hit by stray bullets.

Until now the police face a blank wall on the motive for the killing.
