Rebel attack on airport not true


Saturday, May 26, 2012
THE Misamis Oriental Provincial Peace and Order Council (PPOC) cried foul over reports of a possible attack on the Laguindingan International Airport allegedly by the New People’s Army (NPA).

Teddy Sabugaa, PPOC executive director, said the reports that came out in one radio station in the city have no basis, though he expressed apprehension on the report.

“That is not true. Mura man hinuon og gipagsabong niini ang Provincial Government ug ang NPA,” Sabugaa said in a radio interview.

Sabugaa’s statement came in reaction to reports that the NPA is planning to attack the Laguindingan International Airport.

Because of this, the Philippine National Police (PNP) regional office has reportedly put up a police base patrol in the area.

However, Police Superintendent Ronnie Francis Cariaga clarified that the base patrol was established at the airport for “preventive measure only,” following the recent attack of the NPA at the construction site of the International Airport in Daraga, Albay.

“After what happened at the Albay airport, the police should be vigilant and we have to do preventive measures while nothing happened yet,” Cariaga said.

Aside from the police, soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division were also reportedly deployed to secure the perimeter of the airport.
