Census in 2 Masbate areas suspended due to Reds

From the Manila Bulletin (Aug 18): Census in 2 Masbate areas suspended due to Reds

Legazpi City, Albay — The regional office of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) here confirmed yesterday the suspension of the census operations in five barangays covered by two municipalities in Masbate province due to armed conflicts.

Cynthia Perdiz, interim regional director of PSA said that they had suspended the operations in the barangays of Tan–Awan, Libas, Cabangcalan, and Sta Cruz all in Cataingan town, and Barangay Cagbatang in Cataingan town.

Perdiz disclosed that these barangays have not yet issued permits to PSA enumerators to conduct the house-to-house survey due to crime incidents that transpired recently and have been attributed by the military to the New People’s Army (NPA) rebel.
