Chiefs of police and unit commanders of the Iloilo Police
Provincial Office (IPPO) were ordered to be vigilant in light of the series of
harassments by alleged members of CPP-NPA- NDF (CNN) in Capiz and Iloilo .
IPPO director Senior Superintendent Roderick Augustus Alba
ordered the active defense through enhancement of police presence and conduct
of law enforcement activities.
He further ordered the maintenance of 100 percent personnel
strength in offices and police stations, mobilization of all force multipliers,
enhancement of intelligence gathering and improvement of police community
relations especially in insurgency affected areas in Iloilo .
Earlier, Alba conducted an onsite inspection and had a
dialogue with Mayor James Escorpion of Igbaras and Lt. Col. Enrequieto Deocadez
of the 82nd IB Philippine Army regarding the attack of alleged members of New
People’s Army at Brgys. Passi and Igcabugao, all of Igbaras, Iloilo .
Reports disclosed that around 100 armed men and women barged
into Chinese-owned
Century Peak
mini hydro power plant and hogtied the guards, burned 13 various heavy and
personal equipment amounting to Php100 million evening of Sunday.
They left after allegedly identifying themselves as members
of CNN and when hot pursuit was conducted by the Philippine Army, they were
blasted with a roadside IED in Brgy. Tiolas, San Joaquin, Iloilo which injured five responding members
of the Philippine Army.
The management of the power plant disclosed that it has
previously received three extortion letters from a certain Ruben Llorca of the
Central Front Committee. It was not certain however if they gave in to the
demands of the alleged sender.
IPPO continues to coordinate with the Philippine Army
regarding target hardening measures at other vital installations.
