Military dismisses bombing allegations in Agusan

From ABS-CBN (Sep 7): Military dismisses bombing allegations in Agusan

The Philippine Army on Saturday dismissed allegations that they were involved in planting bombs in Barangay Valentina in La Paz, Agusan del Sur.

According to reports, the Army allegedly has been planting bombs in Barangay Valentina for the past seven months. There were also some members of the Manobo tribe who were allegedly injured or killed by said bombs.

According to Lt. Col. Rolly Dumawa of the 26th Infantry Battalion, these reports are only part of the rebel's black propaganda against them.

"Unang-una po, wala pong inihuhulog na mga bomba, at wala pong pinapaputok na kanyon, at wala rin pong namatay na mga Manobo tribe. Kung halimbawa man pong may mga tinamaan sa mga armado ay hindi po namin kino-consider na mga Manobo tribe. Ito po ay mga teroristang mga NPA 'yan," Dumawa said in a phone interview.

He also revealed that government forces clashed with suspected members of the Front Committee 34 of the New People's Army (NPA) on Friday.
