CPP/Ang Bayan: NPA seizes 5 firearms in Agusan del Norte

Article in the English language edition of  the CPP propaganda publication Ang Bayan (Jun 21): NPA seizes 5 firearms in Agusan del Norte

Red fighters under the Western Agusan Norte-Agusan Sur Subregional Command raided the house of Ramon Calo, the rabidly counterrevolutionary mayor of Carmen, Agusan del Norte, seizing five firearms.

The raid conducted on the night of June 8 yielded a baby M16, an Ingram machine pistol, a 9 mm pistol and two shotguns aside from magazines and rounds of ammunition. The Red guerrillas also confiscated a laptop and two cameras. After the raid, the NPA was able to make a quick and safe retreat.

The locals have long been complaining about Mayor Calo’s militarist rule. Aside from his minions in the military and police, he maintains his own private army.
