NPA armed action in Camarines Sur and Negros Occidental

Units of the New People’s Army (NPA) reported armed actions mounted against Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) units and its intelligence agents in recent weeks.

In Camarines Sur, the NPA-West Camarines Sur (Norben Gruta Command) detonated an explosive at a CAFGU detachment in Barangay Mabini, Del Gallego on October 25. The military action was part of the punishment on CAFGU elements under the 81st IB for human rights abuses committed against the peasant masses. The NPA-Camarines Sur also carried out punitive actions against two AFP intelligence agents in August in line with defending the peasant masses.

In Negros Occidental, four short firearms and one laptop were seized from AFP intelligence agent Armie Tuparan in Barangay Carabalan, Himamaylan City on November 14. The NPA-South Central Negros (Romeo Nanta Command) meted out the sentence on Tuparan in accordance with the verdict of the people’s court.
