For allegedly not paying revolutionary tax, New People' s
Army (NPA) rebels burned the truck and a road roller of an engineer-contractor
at the project site on early Wednesday afternoon in Barangay Bagahanglad, San
Jacinto, Masbate .
A report reaching Chief Supt. Victor P. Deona, Police
Regional Office 5 director, said the incident happened at about 12:15 p.m.
after the rebels failed to see Engr. John Mark Dejuno, the owner of the burned
equipment.
Earlier, the rebels intercepted company driver Ninog Delos
Santos who was walking in the area and asked him about the whereabouts of his
employer.
Not finding Dejuno, the rebels boarded the truck and asked
Delos Santos to board also and bring them to Sitio Cawa-Cawa where the road
roller was positioned.
Upon reaching the area, the rebels immediately disembarked,
poured gasoline on the truck and the road roller and left the area as if
nothing happened.
The report said the rebels had long been demanding for
revolutionary tax from Dejuno who is constructing the road project in the
municipality.
Police and military personnel immediately went after the
rebels while Dejuno has not yet shown up.
