THE 10th Infantry
Division (ID) said on Friday that they are already coordinating with the
management of Algons and Sons Co. to intensify their security measures in the
areas where they have existing development projects.
This after
suspected members of the New People's Army (NPA) burned five heavy equipment
owned by the company in two separate areas in Davao City
Captain Rhyan
Batchar, spokesperson for 10th ID, said the 84th Infantry Battalion (IB) has
been in contact with the manager of the company to discuss the measures they
can do to prevent any similar attacks to happen again.
"Pursuit
operations were launched against the group of Almira Rosete, alias Masi,
commander of the Front Committee 54 held responsible for burning the
equipment," Batchar told Sun.Star Davao in a phone interview Friday
afternoon.
A total of P10
million worth of damage was pegged after five heavy equipment, including two
backhoes, graders, road roller and unit compactor were allegedly burned by the
NPA rebels.
Batchar said the
management disclosed to the 84th IB that they did not receive any extortion
threat from any lawless groups.
"Wala pud
silay maisip na motive ug rason ngano gisunog ilang equipment (They cannot
think of any motive or reason why their equipment were burned)," Batchar
said.
But Batchar clarified
they also discussed with the management on the possibility of extending help in
their security measures on their existing construction projects.
"Daghan pa
sila ug mga construction projects pa so kelangan naa gyud silay security (We
were informed that Algons and Sons Co. still have existing projects so there is
a need to strengthen their security)," he added.
The Davao City
Police Office (DCPO) are also conducting separate investigation to support the
Philippine Army.
DCPO spokesperson
Milgrace Driz said they are waiting for the affidavits of the witness for them
to hasten the filing of charges for arson.
