By J.Lo

”Talagang may nagbabantay sa mga government projects dito…siguro lang nalusutan tayo,” Gen. Lowell Tan of Philippine Army  803rd Infantry Brigade (IB) said extortion could be the motive for the attack that destroyed  backhoe and a truck.

Suspected New People’s Army (NPA) rebels burned heavy equipment worth P3.5 million at a construction site in Barangay San Francisco in Las Navas, Samar.

In Sarangani, supporters of NPA rebels and Dawlah Islamiya members in Maitum town surrendered 97 loose firearms in the past three months.

Maj. Gen. Juvymax Uy of the Philippine Army 6th Infantry Division said firearms were turned over by the owners through the intercession of the  38th Infantry Battalion and 603rd IB.
