“The incident will not only cause delay to the project that will benefit the people but will also adversely affect the livelihood of the people employed to operate these pieces of equipment,” Gen. Madrigal Jr. said.
Relative to this, Gen Madrigal Jr. directed, 10th Infantry Division to go after the perpetrators and bring them to the bar of justice.
