From InterAksyon (Jul 24): Suspected NPA rebels torch 2 backhoes in Catanduanes
Five suspected communist rebels Wednesday torched two pieces of heavy equipment owned by a private company in Sito Ugaw, Barangay Sulong, San Miguel, Catanduanes, the public information office of the Police Regional Office 5 (Bicol) said.
Bicol police spokesman Supt. Renato Bataller said the burning of two back hoes owned by Sun West Corporation happened at around 1 p.m. “[The equipment] were burned by five suspected rebels armed with M-16 and M-14 rifles,” said Bataller, citing a sketchy report forwarded by the information office of the Catanduanes Provincial Police Office.
Elements of the police’s Regional and Provincial Public Safety Battalion and Army soldiers were in hot pursuit of the New People’s Army members.
