Rebels torch engineering equipment in Masbate

From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 22): Rebels torch engineering equipment in Masbate

Units of the 9th Infantry Division are now pursuing the New People's Army (NPA) band who torched four units of engineering equipment in Mandaon town, Masbate Monday early morning.

In a belated report, Capt. Mardjorie Paimela Panesa, 9th Infantry Division public affairs office chief, said the incident took place 4 a.m. in Barangay Dayao, of the above-mentioned locality.

Destroyed were one backhoe, two dump trucks, and a cement mixer owned by the Hitone Construction and Development Corporation.

Panesa said the company was building a connecting road from Barangay Alas to Barangay Tagpu when attacked by the NPA bandits for still unknown reasons.

Investigation and pursuit operations are still ongoing as of this posting.
