Troopers from the 9th Infantry Division are now conducting
pursuit operations against the New People's Army (NPA) band that torched
engineering and road construction equipment in Sitio Cawa-Cawa, San Jacinto
town, Masbate Wednesday morning.
Destroyed were equipment owned by SJM Construction which is
owned by one John Mark Dejumo, reportedly the son of San Jacinto vice mayor
9th Infantry Division spokesperson Capt. Mardjorie Paimela
Panesa said the incident took place 11 a.m.
She added that SJM Construction was completing a road
project in the area when eight heavily-armed rebels appeared out of nowhere and
torched one mini-dump truck and one mini-road roller before making their
getaway.
Panesa said this atrocity coincided with the ongoing withdrawal
of the PNP Public Safety Company in Sitio Cawa-Cawa.
Investigations also revealed that the attack against the SJM
Construction took place due to its refusal to give in to the NPAs extortion
demand.
