CAMP EVANGELISTA, Cagayan de Oro City (DWDD) – The New People’s Army (NPA) extortionists ransacked a small business establishment in Brgy Kulasi, Sumilao, Bukidnon, took the money of its workers, establishment’s important belongings and two firearms early today, April 6, 2016.
Based from the investigating PNP personnel of Sumilao Municipal Police Station, more or less 20 fully armed NPAs entered into Chen and Yap Agri Development Incorporated (CYADI) Farm owned by Mr Cecel Chen at around 4am.
Accordingly, the NPAs took important belongings and money from the establishment and two shotguns of their security guards. The Culprits then mustered all its workers and discussed to them about wage increase then eventually took their money amounting to P3,700.00.
Mr. Jenry Emong, one of the workers but requested not to publish his true name said, “Grabe ang among kakulba kay abi namo’g patyon nami nila. morag wala naman silay laing ikatabang sa katawhan. Kana nga kwarta nga ilang gikuha igo-igo ra na sa among pamilya. Pagkataod taod, amo silang gihangyo nga dili sunugon ang kumpanya kay mawad-an mi og trabaho. Unsa nalang ang mahitabo sa among pamilya kung sunugon nila.”
(We were so nervous that we thought they will kill us. These NPAs are not really concerned about our welfare. The money they took from us is just enough for our family. We even begged them not to burn the establishment because that’s where we get our source of living. We don’t know what will happen to our family if they destroy it.)
Based from the statement of the owner, the NPAs have longed demanded to pay extortion money but he refused to give.
Lt. Col. Peter Edwin R. Navarro, Commanding Officer of 1st Special Forces Battalion said, “This is a clear evidence that the NPAs are so desperate that they even shifted to doing criminalities. They even demanded the establishment to increase the wage of its workers but eventually the NPA robbed the workers. The workers thought that the NPA are helping them but it turns out that the culprits are not really concerned of their situation. This is actually how a professional criminal behave. Through violence and deception just to gain personal interest.”
“We will help the PNP in bringing these culprits to justice. We will not let them threaten the people who are living peacefully in our area.” He added. Support to Law Enforcement Operation has been launched immediately after the incident. 4DPAO / MCAG
