From the Philippine News Agency (Nov 27): Army pursuing rebels who torched DOLE-Fil tractor

Troopers of the Eastern Mindanao Command are now pursuing the rebel band who torched a tractor owned by DOLE-Fil in T'Boli, South Cotabato Tuesday afternoon.

Capt. Alberto Caber, the unit's spokesperson, said the incident took place around 4:00 p.m. in Sitio De Asis, Barangay Afus in T'Boli town.

Initial reports made by the vehicle's driver, Fidel Taton, said that he was passing in the area when stopped by three heavily-armed NPA fighters, who said that they will burn his tractor for DOLE-Fil's refusal to give in to their extortion demand.

The rebels quickly fled after destroying the vehicle.
