Reds torch construction equipment

From the Philippine Star (Sep 21): Reds torch construction equipment

CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga, Philippines – Three suspected New People’s Army (NPA) guerrillas burned two construction equipment in Bongabon town, Nueva Ecija last Wednesday.

The equipment were owned by Israel Reguyal, proprietor of the ICR Contractor, said Senior Superintendent Crizaldo Nieves, director of the Nueva Ecija police.

Nieves said the attack occurred at a  quarry site in Barangay Ariendo at around 3:50 p.m.

He said the suspects ordered the operators of the equipment to get down before pouring gasoline on the vehicles and set them on fire.

Nieves said it was not the first time for the construction firm to experience such an attack.

He said the owner might have refused to heed NPA demand to pay revolutionary taxes.
