About 50 armed rebels of communist New People’s Army (NPA)
torched five heavy equipment in La Paz
Lt. Col. Rolando C. Dumawa, commanding officer of the army’s
26th Infantry Battalion based in La Paz
He said that the Madyaw Construction and Development
Company, owner of the five heavy equipment, undergoes farm to market road
construction in the hinterlands of Agusan
Del Sur.
The NPA rebels belonging to the Guerilla Front Command 88 of
the North Central Mindanao Committee burned one unit payloader, backhoe,
grader, water tanker, and road roller in the hinterland village of Langgasian
in La Paz Wednesday morning.
The attack on private equipment and civilian properties was
a clear violation of the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights
and International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL), Dumawa said.
He said that he had ordered government troops to pursue the
armed rebels and be held liable for the crime and terroristic acts.
The attack in Agusan Del Sur followed about two weeks after
when armed NPA rebels torched seven commercial vehicles along the
Davao-Bukidnon highway.
In a statement released to the local media, the NPA owned
the attacks as a “gesture of sympathy” to the Moro rebels in Central
Mindanao , now a subject of an all out offensive by the government
troopers.
