Chiefs of police and unit commanders of the Iloilo Police Provincial Office (IPPO) were ordered to be vigilant in light of the series of harassments by alleged members of CPP-NPA- NDF (CNN) in Capiz and Iloilo.

Reports disclosed that around 100 armed men and women barged into Chinese-owned Century Peak mini hydro power plant and hogtied the guards, burned 13 various heavy and personal equipment amounting to Php100 million evening of Sunday.

They left after allegedly identifying themselves as members of CNN and when hot pursuit was conducted by the Philippine Army, they were blasted with a roadside IED in Brgy. Tiolas, San Joaquin, Iloilo which injured five responding members of the Philippine Army.

The management of the power plant disclosed that it has previously received three extortion letters from a certain Ruben Llorca of the Central Front Committee. It was not certain however if they gave in to the demands of the alleged sender.
