The Roselyn Jean Pelle Command–Northern Negros Guerilla Front of the New People’s Army (RJPC-NPA) has claimed the burning of two trucks owned by a landowner in Toboso, Negros Occidental last week.
BACOLOD CITY — The Roselyn Jean Pelle Command–Northern Negros Guerilla Front of the New People’s Army has claimed the burning of two trucks owned by a landowner in Toboso, Negros Occidental last week.
In a statement, Cecil Estrella, RJPC-NPA spokesperson, said the group’s action was a call for sugarcane workers to fight back against exploitation and for residents to fight back against militarization and rights abuses. At least eight unidentified armed men gathered the workers in one area before burning the engines of the two trucks, leaving P600,000 worth of damage at Sitio Proper, Barangay Tabun-ac on Dec. 14.
The group accused the landowner allegedly for the unjust wages of the workers, using armed goons for threat and intimidation, and land grabbing, among others. According to the group, they are not interested in subjecting the landowner’s business operation to collection of revolutionary tax due to alleged complaints on labor issues, land disputes, and his counter-revolutionary nature.
