An unidentified group burned two heavy equipment vehicles on a government road widening project in Daraga town in Albay on Friday night.
Lt.Col Rodelon Betita, Daraga's chief of police, said the torched road equipment vehicles were a dump truck and a backhoe of the Verzontal Builders Inc. reportedly owned by Dennis Macandog of Daraga town.
The sketchy report said the incident happened around 7:20 p.m. in the adjoining villages of Lacag and Pandan.
The attackers first set a dump truck parked on the side road of Barangay Lacag on fire then burned a backhoe truck in Barangay Pandan, some 300 meters away from where the dump truck was positioned.
In an interview, Betita said they are still determining the identities of the group, saying “we are not discounting the fact that the New People’s Army (NPA) could be behind the burning incident.”
He, however, said the initial investigation showed the owner of Verzontal has not received a threat or a demand for revolutionary tax from the NPA or from other groups.
Verzontal Builders had been commissioned by the government to implement the road widening project in said villages.
