CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga – At least 30 heavily armed men in military uniforms suspected to be members of the New People’s Army raided the Globe cell site in Barangay Calabgan, Casiguran, Aurora and torched down its facilities.
Senior Superintendent Romeo Teope, Aurora provincial police director, said the rebels armed with long firearms forcibly entered the compound of the Globe cell site at around 1 a.m. Sunday.
The rebels kicked the main gate of the compound and at gunpoint disarmed the lone company guard identified as Joseph Disabille, said Teope.
He said the suspects bringing with them one gallon of gasoline poured into the generator set, panel board and electrical wiring gutter of the Globe cell site and set it on fire.
The rebels then took the firearm of the guard and fled toward the mountainous area of Aurora. – Ric Sapnu
