LA TRINIDAD, Benguet – Cordillera policemen were ordered on Wednesday to be on their toes after communist rebels blasted a cellular site of Globe Telecoms in Pinukpuk town in Kalinga province on Sunday.
Chief Supt. Eugene Martin, the regional police director, said security measures on vital government and private installations all over the region were being enhanced to avoid a repeat of the bombing that has disrupted cell phone services for Pinukpuk’s remote communities.
A report by the Kalinga provincial office to Martin said at least 30 rebels were involved in the attack on the Globe cell site located on a mountain ridge along the boundary of barangays Taga and Pakawit by communist rebels.
The report said the rebels forcibly entered the Globe compound at around 9:30 p.m. Sunday, and hogtied watchman Manuel Labbutan Jr and his wife, who happened to be at the cell site to deliver supper for his husband, before blasting the facility with dynamites. - GMANews.TV
