NPA resorting to terrorism - Army official Article posted October 07, 2008 - 02:31 AM http://www.gmanews.tv/print/125342 MANILA, Philippines - Members of the New People's Army (NPA) are now resorting to terrorism in an act of desperation, an Army officer said Monday. "The Philippine Army believes that the recent terrorist attacks... were just a show of force or superiority, but in truth, there is an extreme demoralization in their ranks as evident in the continuous surrender of their members," spokesman Lt. Col. Romeo S. Brawner said in a statement. Mr. Brawner said three army soldiers were wounded in a land mine attack while passing through Concepcion village in Valencia City, Bukidnon province around 3:30 p.m. Saturday. Mr. Brawner said the troops, under the 29th Infantry Battalion were on board a truck when the land mine along the road exploded. He said the troops engaged in a five-minute fire fight an undetermined number of rebels allegedly from the NPA's Front Committee 6. "The Philippine Army strongly condemns the NPA terrorists' use of land mines. They are violating the International Humanitarian Law and the Geneva Convention by putting the lives of the civilians in danger," Mr. Brawner said. Last week two land mines believed to be planted by the NPA were recovered by the Army in two separate villages in the town of Aleosan in North Cotabato province. Mr. Brawner also reported that two NPA rebels surrendered to the military on Monday. One of them was Marilou Gerbacio, a licensed doctor. She voluntarily surrendered to the 27th Infantry Battalion in Lasak village in the town of Columbio in Sultan Kudarat province. The second was Mercy Maghintay. She was arrested in General Santos City on four cases of murder and damage to property. Mr. Brawner said six rebels also voluntarily surrendered with firearms last week in the village of San Agustin, in the town of San Luis, Agusan del Sur province. Meanwhile, in a separate incident, two unidentified members of the NPA were killed and four others wounded in the village of Ditinagyan, Casiguran town, Aurora province on Saturday, military spokesman Lt. Col Ernesto C. Torres Jr., told reporters in a briefing. The operation involved members of the 48th Infantry Battalion who fought 15 rebels. "Troops were able to recover two M-16 rifles and no casualty was reported on the government side," he said. - BusinessWorld _____ All Rights Reserved. 2006 C GMA Network Inc.
