PNP Urges Cops To Stay Vigilant, CPP 52nd Anniversary Draws Near
PNP – The PNP recently reminded all police units to remain alert and vigilant as the 52nd founding anniversary of the CPP draws near.
The statement came from the Philippine National Police chief General Debold Sinas, according to a report from Manila Bulletin.
Sinas said that the Communist Party of the Philippines and the New People’s Army are known to launch high-profile attacks to “drumbeat the commemoration of significant dates in the underground movement” for over half a century.
“The recent rash of hostile actions initiated by the CPP-NPA-NDFP (National Democratic Front of the Philippines) is all part of that long vicious cycle and 50-year tradition of violence of the local communist movement,”
Sinas alerted all field units to maintain their defensive security posture especially during the latest series of communist attacks against government personnel, isolated government installations, and civilian communities.
The current is a roadside attack against operatives from the Tubungan Municipal Police Station who were conducting anti-communist operations in Iloilo.
The cops unit led by Police Lt. Jose Rommel Samson of the Tubungan MPS were conducting a patrol at Barangay Balicua around 2:45 PM when their vehicle was hit by an explosion from an anti-personnel mine which was said to be planted by communist rebels from the NPA southern front of the Kilusang Rehiyon Panay.
Fortunately, Samson’s team was left unscathed as they called for backup and went after the rebels. A hunt operation was immediately launched against the perpetrators of the attack.
