From Malaya Business Insight (Mar 2): NPA rebels burn tractor in Negros
SUSPECTED members of the New People’s Army burned a farm tractor after its owner refused to pay revolutionary tax in La Castellana, Negros Occidental last Monday.
Belated reports reaching Camp Aguinaldo said four armed communist rebels entered Hacienda Conchita in Barangay Sag-ang, owned by Jorge Vargas, and at gunpoint ordered the tractor’s driver to alight and opened the fuel tank. The rebels then set it on fire.
Brig. Gen. Dinoh A Dolina, commander of the Army’s 3rd Infantry (Spearhead) Division, condemned the attack, saying: “These communist-terrorists keep bragging that they are fighting for the people’s welfare yet their actions contradict their words.”
Communist rebels also torched a famer’s 10-wheeler truck used for hauling sugarcane in Canlaon City, Negros Oriental on February 22.
Dolina lauded the owners of the cargo truck and farm tractor for rejecting the NPA’s extortion demand. He also called on the people, especially Negrenses, to coordinate with the Army and the PNP on the movements of the rebels.
