LEGAZPI CITY, Philippines -- The New People's Army (NPA) on Sunday claimed responsibility for the two ambushes that left two policemen dead and five others wounded in Cataingan and San Pascual towns in Masbate province last week.
On October 31, police reports said a platoon-sized police team composed of the San Pascual police and the Regional Mobile Group was conducting internal security operations in Barangay (village) San Pedro in San Pascual when waylaid by armed men.
Officials identified the two policemen killed as Inspector Franco Andes of the RMG and Police Officer 1 Hernani Enriquez of the San Pascual police.
The day before, local policemen and personnel of the 50th Provincial Police Mobile Group were ambushed in Barangay Liong in Cataingan as they escorted election inspectors carrying ballot boxes.
In a statement sent to the Philippine Daily Inquirer (parent company of INQUIRER.net) through mobile phone, National Democratic Front-Bicol spokesperson Greg Bañares said the NPA-Jose Rapsing Command in Masbate was responsible for the two ambuscades.
Earlier, the NPA admitted responsibility for the Friday night torching of a Globe telecoms cell site in Barangay Bayanihan, San Fernando, Mabsate.
Around 50 NPA members raided the site and disarmed and hogtied its security guard, Masbate police reported.
