CPP/Ang Bayan: NPA punishes 67th IB in Davao Oriental

From the English language edition of Ang Bayan (May 21): NPA punishes 67th IB in Davao Oriental

Red fighters under the Comval-Davao East Coast Subregional Command of the New People’s Army (NPA) launched a series of military actions against the Philippine Army 67th IB.

Two soldiers were wounded in a sniping operation launched by members of the NPA Front Guerrilla 15 Operations Command in Barangay Binondo, Baganga at 11 a.m. of April 23. Two hours later, four military troops were killed by command-detonated explosives used by an NPA unit in Purok 7 Tanggaan, Barangay Manurigao, New Bataan, Compostela Valley. On May 5, a soldier was killed in a sniping operation launched by an NPA team against a Peace and Development Team (PDT) in Barangay Pagsabangan, New Bataan.

Meanwhile, on May 11, Red fighters from the NPA Guerrilla Front 20 Operations Command burned a bulldozer owned by Cateel mayor Camilo Nuñez in Sitio Yapsay, Taytayan, Cateel, Davao Oriental. The operation was not merely part of the total log ban campaign currently being waged in the entire region by the revolutionary movement but was a punitive measure against Nuñez for his criminal negligence in failing to institute long-term rehabilitation for the victims of typhoon Pablo that devastated the area in 2012.
