An estimated PHP25-million worth of heavy equipment
machineries were burned by armed men believed to be members of the New People’s
Army (NPA) in San Agustin Village here on Wednesday.
Police reports said that about 20 armed men burned seven
heavy equipment machineries and two 10-wheeler trucks owned by businessman
Renato Maligalig from San Andres Village Alaminos town in Laguna.
The report said at about 10 p.m. Wednesday, the armed men
entered the back portion of the lot where the heavy equipment were parked and
using gasoline burned them without resistance from the employees of Maligalig
out of fear. After the incident, the armed men left toward the dark portion of
the village.
It was reported that before the incident, Maligalig received
a letter from a group asking for a big sum of money as revolutionary tax which
he failed to comply.
Meanwhile, town police led by Police Superintendent Noel
Nunez, chief of police, and Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) personnel are
conducting investigation.
