On Wednesday, about 20 New People’s Army rebels swooped down on the barangay poblacion of Lamogong in Manjuyod, Negros Oriental, and raided its barangay hall, where village officials were having a meeting. Maj. Gen. Dinoh Dolina, 3ID commander, said.
Dolina added that the rebels took a hand held radio and a cellular phone owned by barangay, before withdrawing from the village.
He said the CPP-NPA once again showed without a second thought their true nature as cold-blooded terrorists.
What they have done is a confirmation of their identity as an anti-peace, anti-development, and anti-people organization, he added.
Stressing that he will not allow the terroristic activities of the NPA to continue, Dolina ordered his infantry units assigned in Negros Island to hunt them down and bring them to justice.
No one was reported hurt during the rebel attack
Brig. Gen. Benedict Arevalo, 303rd Infantry Brigade commander, aired suspicions that taking control of the barangay market area for more than one hour was a strategy of the CPP-NPA to ambush responding government troops.
Dolina called on Negrenses to be vigilant and report the presence, movement, and activities of the NPA to prevent them from causing similar atrocities.
