150 NPAs killed a Barangay Kagawad in Compostela Valley
More than a hundred armed members of the New People’s Army (NPA), clad in military uniforms attacked and ransacked two banana plantations in Compostella Valley in broad daylight last November 12, 2007. A Barangay Kagawad was mercilessly killed by the terrorists who also carted away a cache of firearms before fleeing towards the direction of Nabuk River. The Provincial Police Office of Compostella Valley immediately conducted hot pursuit operation against the communist armed group.
Based on police reports, at least 150 members of the NPA simultaneously attacked the plantations of the Compostela Plantation Incorporated, a subsidiary of the Sumitomo Fruits Incorporated, and the Banana Plantation of Dizon Farms at about 12:00 ‘noon. The group was led by one Africia “ Kumander Lalayo”, Alvarez Rosete and a certain Alia Jason of the NPA’s Front Committee 20. The attackers came on board four Isuzu Forward Trucks before attacking and disarming the guards of the Plantation located at Purok 6, Sitio Pilar, Brgy Mangayon, Compostela. They carted away Five 12 gauge shotguns, four cal 38 revolvers and six handheld radios.
The same group then proceeded to the banana plantation of Dizon Farms in Barangay Babag in Monkayo where they seized two Baby Armalites, five carbine rifles and one handheld radio.They also commandeered two motorcycles from the said plantation and shot dead a certain Dodong Juarez.
Residents in the area condemned the attack and regarded the same as an act of cowardice and a pure form of terrorism. “They keep on victimizing us in the countryside who are contributing to the economic development in the area…”, a resident stressed during an interview. The residents of the community vowed to help the PNP in monitoring the movements of the NPA in order to attain peace and development thereat.
The NPA attack should be condemned by all peace-loving Filipinos as it clearly demonstrates the bankruptcy of the communist ideology and their total disregard for the welfare of the very people they claim to fight for. The Banana Plantations they attacked provide employment to the residents in the area. The PNP/AFP, along with the National Government should be determined more than ever to break the back of the communist insurgency that prevents the nation from attaining lasting peace and economic progress.
