From DWDD AFP Civil Relations Service Radio Website (May 24): NPA ATROCITIES  |  Communist Terrorist burns Construction Equipment in Mabinay

MABINAY, NEGROS ORIENTAL (DWDD) – On May 21, 2018, unidentified numbers of armed CPP-NPA terrorists burned construction pieces of equipment owned by Big Foot Construction Company used in constructing a farm-to-market road in remote areas in Mabinay.

The burning of a road roller (Pison), backhoe and bulldozer took place in 3 separate areas; particularly in Sitio Talingting, Barangay Luyang; Sitio Butokon, Barangay Bagtic, and Sitio Begonia, Barangay Bagtic, all of Mabinay, Negros Oriental at 7:30 pm on May 21, 2018.
 



Meanwhile, immediately after the incidents, troops from 62IB conducted pursuit/clearing operations on possible NPA terrorists’ withdrawal areas. The PNP, on the other hand, conducted checkpoint operations in Mabinay and adjacent municipalities.

It can be remembered that on May 10, 2018, these cold-blooded CPP-NPA terrorists also burned a backhoe and bunkhouses of workers of the National Irrigation Administration in their irrigation project at Sitio Tagbak, Brgy Tan-awan, Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental.

LTC DARRELL BAÑEZ said, “It is saddening to note that the tactical offensives are aimed at construction companies building farm-to-market roads who did not yield to the extortion demands of the CPP-NPA Terrorist. This project is for the comfort of the people in the community and will help boost the economic status of this town. We condemn in strongest terms this dastardly act of the CNTs. It only shows that they are anti-development and anti-people which runs contrary to their promise of a better life for the local folks in the remote areas. The mass works that they are doing in these areas are nothing but mere propaganda meant to deceive the people.”

“We commend the bravery of these people who denied to the extortion demands of these heartless and ruthless CPP-NPA terrorists. We are also calling to the Negrenses to continue cooperating with us and report the presence and activities of the CPP-NPA Terrorist in your area,” Bañez added.

The PNP and the military in the area are still conducting pursuit operations. 3DPAO / MCAG
