From GMA News (Aug 5): Suspected NPA members burn three trucks in Apayao
Some 40 suspected members of the New People’s Army burned three trucks owned by a company which allegedly refused to pay revolutionary tax in Apayao province.
A belated police report showed that around 6:00 p.m. on August 3, alleged members of Leo Cauilan Command-Kalinga entered the compound of Omengan Construction Development Corporation (OCDC) in Brgy. Guina-ang, Conner, Apayao.
Campbell Calawen, OCDC project manager, told police that perpetrators went to their compound, gathered all employees, and confiscated all their mobile phones.
The alleged NPA members then talked with the employees to persuade them to join their group.
They also reportedly demanded for supplies such as rice, clothes, and revolutionary taxes but these were not given to them.
The group thus left a demand letter to OCDC signed by certain Ariel Santiago of the NPA under Leo Cauilan Command-Kalinga.
Before leaving, the suspects burned two dump trucks and one forward truck owned by the company.
They left onboard a dump truck and a white pick-up each driven by company employees toward Brgy. Manag.
An hour later, the two OCDC drivers returned using the Estrada pick-up and informed their supervisor that the dump truck used as getaway vehicle fell on a five-meter ravine.
