CABANATUAN CITY, Nueva Ecija, December 17, 2012-Four heavily armed
suspected New People’s army rebels stormed the compound of a construction
company in Carranglan, Nueva Ecija and burned heavy equipment Saturday night
allegedly over “broken promises” of revolutionary taxes.
Senior
Superintendent Walter Castillejos, provincial police director, said the rebels,
including an amazon, entered the premises of the field office of the Northern
Builders Co. at Sitio Maligaya, Barangay Putlan, Carranglan at around 8:30 pm
Saturday and accosted timekeeper Willy Layug.
The
unidentified woman rebel then asked Layug what happened to an earlier letter
given by their group to the firm’s engineer Riza Organista.
When
Layug could not provide an answer, the woman got angry and told Layug “Ang
Northern Builders ay hindi tumutupad sa usapan (Northern Builders does not
honor an agreement).”
Afterwards,
the woman and her companions poured gasoline on the firm’s two transit mixers and
set them on fire which lasted for 10 minutes.
The
rebels then walked away casually. (Manny Galvez)
