Troopers from the Cagayan De Oro-based 4th Infantry Division
are now conducting pursuit operations against the New People's Army (NPA) bands
who attacked civilian establishments and equipment in Bukidnon and Surigao Del
Sur Tuesday.
Belated reports provided by 4th Infantry Division spokeserson
Major Christian Uy to the PNA Thursday said the first attack took place at the
DOLE Philippines Plantation in Barangay
Lilingayon , Valencia
In this instance, seven heavily-armed members of the NPAs
forcibly entered the establishment where they disarmed the duty guard of his
12-gauge shotgun and ICOM radio before gutting and damaging the banana
processor owned by the firm.
The rebels immediately made their getaway while other
personnel of the establishment managed to extinguish the fire.
Motive for the attack stemmed from the rebels'
"personal grudge" against the security personnel, Uy said.
Earlier, a force of 30 NPA fighters attacked a mining firm
in Mount Bakahan ,
Purok 3, Barangay Mabini, Surigao
City
The rebels were believed to be members of the North Eastern
Mindanao Regional Command.
Uy said that they are still determining the NPAs motive for
this attack. He added that pursuit operations are now ongoing as of this
posting.
