According to the latest report, Communist guerrillas on Saturday burned a cassava milling facility in Bukidnon owned by a businessman whom, they alleged to be involved in grabbing lands of the indigenous people. Nikolas Marino, New People’s Army (NPA) spokesman in Northern Mindanao, sent text messages to reporters on Saturday saying that a team of 12 armed rebels had attacked the facility in Barangay Siloo in Malitbog town after overpowering their guards.
The report said that the rebels confiscated an air rifle and two radio sets from the guards. The guards were surprised by the sudden attack of the rebels forcing them to surrender their firearms. The said rebels took revenge because of the killing of their leaders in 2021.
Police Sergeant Graciano Temano of the Malitbog police station confirmed the NPA attack saying the rebels gathered the workers before setting fire to the stocks of cassava chips, a milling machine, and a building. The police said that no one was hurt during the attack. The owner of the plantation estimated the cost of the damage to be 3 million pesos. The Army’s 4th Infantry Division of Cagayan de Oro City said that only about 100 NPA rebels are left operating in the Mindanao region.
