Heavily-armed men, believed to be members of the New People’s Army (NPA), set ablaze Friday night a sawmill at Mayo-os area, Barangay Bangonay, in Jabonga town, Agusan del Norte, police reported yesterday.
No one was hurt in the incident.
In its initial report to the regional command and action center of Northeastern Mindanao Police Regional Office 13 (PRO 13) based at Camp Rafael C. Rodriguez here yesterday, Surigao del Norte Police Provincial Office (PPO) Officer-In-Charge Supt. Rudy T. Cuyop said 11 armed men barged into the mini-sawmill at 8 p.m. Friday, and caught the care-taker and workers off-guard.
The mini-sawmill was reportedly owned by Junifer Dingding Garido, 36, a resident of Purok 4, Barangay Bangonay, Cuyop said.
The Jabonga Municipal Police Station (MPS) disclosed that the suspected communist rebels poured gasoline on a Yanmar 12 valve diesel engine, two units of flywheel and other sawmilling equipment, before setting them ablaze.
After the incident, the perpetrators immediately fled to a nearby mountain, Cuyop said, in his flash report to PRO 13 said.
The motive for the attack and cost of damage were still being determined by Garido and the Jabonga MPS.
