Rebs raid Cebu depot, torch heavy equipment

-
CEBU CITY — Some 20 suspected New People’s Army (NPA) rebels stormed a depot and quarry site in Barangay Guadalupe, Carcar town the other night, burning a truck and two heavy equipment and pushing another truck down a ravine.

The guerrillas herded together the workers of Gorones Development Corp. but harmed no one, taking only the shotgun and uniform of a security guard.

Provincial deputy police chief Nievo Rodriguez said the failure of the company to pay revolutionary taxes to the rebels apparently prompted the raid.

No official from Gorones was available for comment.

Gorones set up a depot and quarry site in Sitio Tan-awan, Barangay Guadalupe, some eight kilometers from the town proper, last September in connection with an asphalting project which is now nearing completion. — Freeman News Service
