MANILA -- Communist rebels disabled four telecommunications relay sites, disrupting service in parts of northern Philippines over the weekend, police and company officials said Monday. Masked men attacked telecommunication towers in the towns of Abucay, Munoz, Lubao and Santa Ignacia late Saturday, disarming security guards and burning radio equipment, they said. Raiders told the personnel at the Globe Telecoms site in Abucay that they were members of the communist New People's Army, the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines, a police report said. Smart Communication Inc. and its sister firm Pilipino Telephone Corp. owned the other sites that were attacked. The attacks knocked out mobile phone service in the provinces of Bataan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga and Tarlac, said Ramon Isberto, spokesman for Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co., parent firm of Smart and Pilipino Telephone. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
