NPA band torches Del Monte equipment in Bukidnon

From the Philippine News Agency (Aug 12): NPA band torches Del Monte equipment in Bukidnon

Eastern Mindanao Command (EMC) units are now in hot pursuit operation against the New People's Army (NPA) band who torched the equipment of Del Monte Philippines at Purok 3, Barangay Impalutao, Impasugong, Bukidnon Thursday afternoon.

The incident caused Php 6 million worth of damage and suspended works in the area, said EMC spokesperson Major Ezra Balagtey.

"The company is a civilian entity and not party to the conflict and should be spared from attacks as stipulated in the International Humanitarian Law," he added.

Balagtey said this latest NPA atrocity designed to create a massive unemployment just like what they did in DOLE Philippines in Barobo and Tago Surigao del Sur which forced the stoppage of company operations in the areas due to severe losses.

"This NPA atrocities project a bad image before the international community which affects the investment and tourism potential of the region and the country's economy as a whole," he added.
