Rebels destroy 13 vehicles, heavy equipment in Isabela attack

From the Philippine News Agency (Oct 29): Rebels destroy 13 vehicles, heavy equipment in Isabela attack

New People's Army (NPA) remnants attacked and destroyed 13 vehicles and heavy equipment units owned by Nickel Asia Corporation in Dinapigue town, Isabela Wednesday.

The assault took place 7 a.m. in Barangay Dimaluade, Dinapigue, of the above-mentioned province, 5th Infantry Division spokesperson Capt. Maricel Parro said.

The estimated 30 NPAs also stole the weapons of the duty guards which consists of a 9mm pistol, . 38 caliber pistol and four shotguns.

Parro said the rebels were headed by one Reynaldo Piñon.

The NPAs also burned two Ford pick-up trucks, one bulldozer, five backhoes, one Isuzu D-Max, one Saddam truck, one service pick-up, and one Terrano.

"The desperate act of terror of the NPA shows that they have lost their ideology and concern to the people they claim to serve. It is apparent that the NPAs have turned into bandits and are vigorously conducting extortion through their usual modus operandi of destroying the properties of civilians," Parro added.
