Reds torch heavy equipment in Negros Occidental

Gilbert Bayoran - The Philippine Star

BACOLOD CITY, Philippines — Around 20 suspected New People’s Army rebels have destroyed a heavy equipment in a quarry area in Sitio Nandong, Barangay Orong in Kabankalan, Negros Occidental.

Police said armed men told a watchman that they were interested in the backhoe because its owners are not complying with their demands to pay so-called revolutionary taxes.

Two men allegedly poured gasoline on the backhoe before setting it on fire.
