Three land mines found in Quezon

From the Manila Times (Jul 14): Three land mines found in Quezon

CAVINTI, Laguna: Soldiers from the 1st Infantry Batallion on Monday discovered three landmines during an encounter with the New People’s Army in Barangay Marcelino in General Nakar, Quezon.

Before the clash, the military received information that the landmines were set up by the rebels to destroy trucks and other heavy equipment used in the on-going construction of the road connecting General Nakar and Aurora province.

Col. Rodel Mauro Alarcon, commander of the 202nd Brigade, denounced the use of landmines as a violation of the Geneva Convention Law as stated in the Comprehensive Agreement to Respect Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL) by the NPA with the Philippine government in 1998.
