Prior to Friday’s attack, an influential town official reportedly ordered the burning of the Mounted Crane of Jera General Construction, a Bicol-based construction company, which was undergoing rehabilitation of Lasureco’s 69 KV and 13.2 KV lines along the highway of Ditsaan-Ramain on May 13, 2014.
Maongco has reportedly filed a criminal case against town Mayor Ali U. Adiong, of Ditsaan-Ramain in Lanao Del Sur, with violation of Arson before the Provincial Prosecutor of Lanao Del Sur.
Aside from arson, Maongo also filed an administrative case against Adiong for grave misconduct an oppression with the Ombudsman Mindanao in connection with the burning of the equipment.
In an affidavit submitted to the Court of Appeals in Cagayan De Oro City, on May 19, 2014, Maongco accused Ditsaan town Mayor Ali Untao Adiong, his driver and 10 other “John Does” of allegedly burning the equipment.
Maongco has secured the affidavit of six witnesses to the burning of Jera’s Truck Mounted Crane while conducting a joint rehabilitation project of the LASURECO and the Department of Energy (DOE) in
Maongco suspected that the attack on the LASURECO compound Friday night was directed at him because he and his family were living in the compound together with workers of the Jera General Construction.
