NPA storms Del Monte Phil. camp in BukidnonBy CRIS DIAZ, Associate Editor Franklin Nillales, Leofil Ubanan,

and Mario Ayuban. After 30 minutes siege, the rebels withdrew to the moun-tainous Dahilayan, west of Bukidnon, carting away 10 firearms including the M14 rifle of a certain Supt. Bimbo Jumalon whose responding team from Malaybaly was on their to way to Manolo Fortich when flagged down by the a check point mounted by the armed rebels in Atogan Bridge in Impasug-ong, Bukidnon. Based on military and wit-ness accounts, the NPA rebels mounted blocking force at the national highway leading to Del Monte Philippines in Camp Philips, Manolo Fortich, Bukid-non about 6:00 p.m Tuesday. Military authorities said that these blocking forces were located in Atogan Bridge in Impasug-ong and Sumilao, all in Bukidon and in the borders of Mambatangan in Cagayan de Oro City and Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon. Police and military investiga-tors also disclosed that vehicles traversing in these areas were also disabled due to spikes

spread out by the rebels in the main highway apparently to delay responding law enforcers. Col. Eugenio Julio Osias III, spokesperson of the army’s 4th Infantry Division based here, said that the undetermined number of rebels belonged to the main regional guerrilla front of the CPP’s North Central Mindanao Regional Command. In a synchronized moved, the rebels also assaulted the company’s satellite camp in Villa Vista in Sumilao, Bukid-non where they burned the warehouse filled with fertilizers and the staff house there. Sumilao town Mayor Rey Baula reported that about 20-armed men seized the com-pany’s satellite camp located some 50 kilometers southwest of Camp Philips in Manolo Fortich. Baula said there was no re-port of casualty in the Sumilao attacked. The company pioneered by an American migrant sometime in 1935 controls more than 16,000 hectares of land, some 10,000 hectares planted with pineapple.

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - The New People’s Army, the military arm of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), staged a military action against Del Monte Philippines in Bukidnon with precision and specific targets Tuesday evening. The undetermined number of rebels commandeered two cargo trucks in assaulting the company’s main camp located at Camp Philips, Bukidnon, disarming a security guard of a gas station, torched heavy equipment at the motor pool right at the entrance of the main camp, and strafed the company’s main administration building inside the camp’s compound. A security guard identified as Alfredo Neri Jr. assigned at the Del Monte’s administration building inside the company’s compound was killed in an exchanged of gun fires with the rebels armed with high powered firearms. The rebels strafed the compa-ny’s main administration build-ing at Camp Philips wounding three civilians identified as

It was the first time that armed communist rebels stormed Del Monte Philippines, one of the largest multi-national tropical fruit companies in Asia, with pineapple as its main product distributed worldwide, after almost 100 years in operation in the Southern Philippines Island of Mindanao. In 1990s, the plantation ex-panded to the neighboring towns of Impasug-ong and Sumilao where the company rents idle farm lots in the area.

The company employs about 3,000 regular workers and hun-dreds of ‘piece workers’ in the plantation site.Gregoria Madlos a.k.a. ‘Ka Oris,’ spokesperson of the National Democratic Front (NDF) in Mindanao, said that punitive actions against Del Monte Phil-ippines would likely take place in the future. He said that the military ac-tions taken against the pineapple company were to ‘punish’ the company for destroying the environment in the wake of the expansion of pineapple plantation in the area. Madlos blamed Del Monte Philippines, Inc. for the disas-trous flash flood brought by

typhoon Sendong that resulted in the death of hundreds of people living along the Cagayan de Oro City River in Dec. 17, 2011. Osias, however, dismissed Madlos claim saying the NPA attacked Del Monte Philip-pines in Bukidnon since the pineapple company refused to pay ‘protection money’ in the guise of revolutionary tax to the communist rebels. He said the military was also verifying reports that the NPA staged the attack to warn political candidates in Northern Mindanao against those who might refuse to pay ‘campaign fee’ in the midterm election in May this year.

NPA owns attack in BukidnonHERE is part of the New People’s Army (NPA) statement emailed last night signed by a certain Al-lan Juanito who claims to be the spokesperson, NPA North Central Mindanao Regional Command.

“The simultaneous and coordi-nated military operation (against Del Monte and Dole-Stanfilco) in Bukidnon was a forthright statement that the revolutionary movement is determined in meting out punitive actions against the giant agribusiness companies for exploiting and oppressing the workers, peasants and Lumads, and seriously ravaging the environment. After a series of killer typhoons wrought havoc to the hapless victims, the culpability of the environmentally-destructive operations of logging, agribusiness and mining companies is repeatedly exposed. Now is the time to serve justice to the victims of these man-made calamities.

The sudden surge of flood water in Cagayan River caused by Tropical Storm Sendong, which swept thousands of lives and billions worth of property, clearly shows the extent of current environmental destruction in the region. The once lush watershed forests of Kitanglad and Kalatungan Ranges, where the headwaters of the tributaries of Cagayan River

originate, are gradually being denuded until now. In its foothills are waves upon waves of pineapple and banana plantations owned by the imperialist Dole and Del Monte companies.

During heavy downpours, tons of soil contami-nated with toxic chemicals is washed out to Cagayan River. The environmental damage caused by pineapple plantations is comparable to that of mining, since the natural terrain is levelled using heavy machineries in preparation for planting. According to an environ-mentalist, for every hectare of pineapple, 100 tons of soil are eroded yearly.

Since the last decade, these agribusiness companies have been competing for amassing agricultural lands which are the main source of livelihood for the great majority of the population. Del Monte, Dole and SUMIFRU, which dominate this sector, in collusion with landlords, are the most aggressive in grabbing the lands being tilled by peasants for food crops and replacing them with fruits for export.

Del Monte has been operating in the region for almost a hundred years now. Up to 90’s, Del Monte occupied 45,617 hectares of pineapple plantations. This does not include other areas which were not declared or which are nominally owned by other landlords and contract growers. From pineapple plantations, it expanded its operations to other fruits for

THE direction the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) is treading with regard the three common candidates it shares with the pro-ad-ministration Team PNoy is becoming clearer now and it is to put an end to their own folly by finally drop-ping them from their ticket.

This is not surprising, however, especially to the veteran political analysts. There is no way that UNA can continue with its own folly of adopting Sens. Loren Legarda, Chiz Escudero and former censors board chair Grace Poe as their common candidate with the administration coalition.

At one point or other, UNA had to determine for its own good whether it is a yellow opposition to the administration or a true-blooded opposition. The early gambit UNA had adopted is slowly backfiring on their face no less. At first UNA avoided a head-on

a deeper view

Jesse E.L. Bacon II

THINK a minute.In a war rule number

one is you must know who you’re fighting.

Otherwise, you’ll waste a lot of time and energy fighting the wrong enemy.

Our life’s daily struggles are like a battle. But many times the enemy we’re fight-ing is right inside our own mind!

Nothing can defeat and damage your life more than your own wrong thinking about yourself.

If you believe that you’re not smart or don’t have any special abilities, then you’ll never succeed in life because that’s just how you’ll live.

We become whatever we think we are—even if it’s not true to begin with. That’s why the Bible says:

Know your enemy

“As a man thinks about himself, so is that man.”

Your low self-confidence will limit and paralyze you. You may actually have many abilities, but if you don’t believe you have them, then you’ll never use them and benefit from them.

In zoos, a baby elephant is tied with a strong, thick chain to a big post.

At first, the elephant pulls and tries to get free from the chain. But finally

it gives up and stops trying.After that, only a small,

thin rope is needed to tie that big, powerful elephant down and stop it from mov-ing far.

The rest of its life, that elephant believes the lie and illusion that it’s too weak to break that little rope.

You see, we all can be-come a bit like that el-ephant. If I let myself think and believe that I cannot go any further in life, even

though it’s not true, then I won’t. That’s the power my own mind and wrong thinking about myself can have over my life.

Friend, if you realize that you’ve been holding your-self back from living the successful life God created you for—because of your own wrong thinking about yourself, your own fears and lack of self-confidence, you can change your mind about yourself today.

Just ask Jesus Christ to take full charge of your thinking and way of living.

Jesus is the One Who can show you the abilities and potential He’s given you.

He’ll give you the power to actually start changing and living your life to the fullest.

Just Think a Minute.

UNA’s fault

collision with President Aquino and the political coalition his Liberal Party (LP) forged with the Na-tionalist People’s Coalition (NPC), the Nacionalista Party (NP) and the Akbayan party list group.

Even UNA senatorial bet JV Ejercito at one time pro-posed a single set of senato-rial candidates since every-one is backing up Aquino anyway. When such ad-venture was not given even the slightest consideration by the pro-administration parties, UNA was forced to adopt a posture of being

supportive and friendly to the Aquino administration but will likewise not hesitate to play the role of fiscalizer for the good of the country.

This dilemma of UNA is actually caused by one of the coalition’s triumvirate leader’s desire to have his cake and eat it too. Vice President Jejomar Binay’s incongruous posture that he is supportive of Aquino because he wants to keep his post as member of the latter’s cabinet is the culprit of its woes. Binay’s public pronouncements that he has been a friend and ally of the

late President Aquino and to the incumbent president as well proved that he is not ready to appear an ingrate to the Aquinos especially at this point.

But his reluctance only succeeded in putting himself and UNA in a ridiculous position. While Aquino maintains that UNA is his political foe, the UNA lead-ership is doing their best to project an image of being a yellow opposition. The coalition is ill-advised in projecting this image. It’ll never work to their ad-vantage. Binay can’t con-tinue serving the cabinet of Aquino and at the same time attack the president for being its fiscalizer.

The adoption by UNA of Legarda, Escudero and Poe as their candidates also only showed a sign of weakness on their part. They should not have ventured into this folly in the first place.

CAGAYAN de Oro City––The New People’s Army, the military arm of the Commu-nist Party of the Philippines (CPP), staged a military action against Del Monte Philippines in Bukidnon with precision and specific targets Tuesday evening.

The undetermined num-ber of rebels commandeered two cargo trucks in assault-ing the company’s main camp located at Camp Phil-ips, Bukidnon, disarming a security guard of a gas sta-tion, torched heavy equip-ment at the motor pool right at the entrance of the main camp, and strafed the com-pany’s main administration building inside the camp’s compound.

A security guard iden-tified as Alfredo Neri Jr. assigned at the Del Monte’s administration building inside the company’s com-pound was killed in an ex-changed of gun fires with the rebels armed with high powered firearms.

The rebels strafed the

company’s main adminis-tration building at Camp Philips wounding three civilians identified as Frank-lin Nillales, Leofil Ubanan, and Mario Ayuban.

After 30 minutes siege, the rebels withdrew to the mountainous Dahilayan, west of Bukidnon, carting away 10 firearms including the M14 rifle of a certain Supt. Bimbo Jumalon whose responding team from Ma-laybaly was on their to way to Manolo Fortich when flagged down by the a check point mounted by the armed rebels in Atogan Bridge in Impasug-ong, Bukidnon.

Based on military and witness accounts, the NPA rebels mounted blocking force at the national high-way leading to Del Monte Philippines in Camp Philips,

Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon about 6:00 p.m Tuesday.

Military authorities said that these blocking forces were located in Atogan Bridge in Impasug-ong and Sumilao, all in Buki-don and in the borders of Mambatangan in Cagayan de Oro City and Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon.

Police and military in-vestigators also disclosed that vehicles traversing in these areas were also dis-abled due to spikes spread out by the rebels in the main highway apparently to delay responding law enforcers.

Col. Eugenio Julio Osias III, spokesperson of the army’s 4th Infantry Divi-sion based here, said that the undetermined number of rebels belonged to the

IN line with the intention of Mayor Vicente Y. Emano to provide avenues for employ-ment to its constituents to help them improve their lives, the City Council during its regular session Tuesday presided over by Vice Mayor Caesar Ian E. Acenas enacted Ordinance No. 12529 establishing the Skills Registration System. The ordinance was intro-duced by Councilors Alexander S. Dacer, chair of the committee on labor and employment, and Ramon G. Tabor, chair of the committee on laws and rules, who noted that unemploy-ment and underemployment continue to be a perennial problem of Kagay-anons. It may be recalled that the Department of Labor and Em-ployment (DOLE) established the SRS to address mismatches and to serve as a tool for job seekers to find opportunities. The ordinance requires each barangay to appoint or desig-nate a Barangay Manpower Skills Registration Focal Per-son, who shall undertake pur-posive data gathering, encoding of manpower information and updating of register. The Power learned that the SRS database shall be linked to www.phil-job.net, the official

job portal of the Philippine Government, so that informa-tion can be viewed anywhere at any time through the internet and job matching can be done online. To realize the goals and ob-jectives of the program, a City PESO Management Council shall be created to set guide-lines on the establishment of the SRS. It will be chaired by the city mayor with the chair of the committee on labor and employment; the president of Association of Barangay Councils, president of any labor union, professional groups or vocational associations within the city duly selected by the mayor to represent the labor force; the Public Employ-ment Service Office (PESO) manager and vice president/registrar/curriculum designer of the Technical and Vocational school, as members. To effectively carry out the provisions of the ordinance, legislators authorized Mayor Emano to enter into and sign a Memorandum of Agreement with the DOLE covering the implementation of the SRS including the donation by the latter of equipment, software, manpower training, technol-ogy transfer and monetary assistance.(LCR)

The National Grid Corpo-ration of the Philippines (NGCP) implemented the necessary preparations and precautions to minimize the impact of Tropical De-pression Crising on NGCP operations and facilities. Preparations include ensuring the reliability of communications equip-ment, availability of hard-ware materials and supplies necessary for the repair of damages to facilities, as well as the positioning of line crews in strategic areas, to facilitate immediate restora-tion work. NGCP’s Integrated Di-saster Action Plan (IDAP) prescribes these and other procedures to ensure the readiness of all power trans-mission facilities which are expected to be affected by the passage of the weather disturbance. At 10:00 AM Tuesday. the tropical depression was estimated, based on satellite and surface data, to maintain maximum sustained winds

of 45 kph near the center and move west northwest at 22 kph. TD Crising is expected to make landfall over Jose Abad Santos, Davao del Sur within the afternoon. NGCP’s Overall Disaster Command Center, which

NGCP readied precautions vs Crisingoperates 24 hours a day, will monitor all power restora-tion activities, reports and updates from the Regional Command Centers in North Luzon, South Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, whichever is directly affected by the

weather disturbance. It will also closely coordinate and communicate with the Na-tional Disaster Risk Reduc-tion Management Council (NDRRMC), other gov-ernment offices, local and national media agencies.

With the new technol-ogy, he said no one will dare to vote twice or thrice as erring voters can be im-mediately identified and recognized through the use of computers.

But with absence of a special law that will re-quire for the mandatory registration of qualified voters through biometric, Nala said the Comelec will still allow those voters who have not availed of the new technology.

“Alang alang og dili namo sila pabotaron nga ila man sab katungod ang pagbotar,” added Nala in vernacular.

He explained the Come-lec has to relax the imple-mentation of biometric law as it will disenfranchise millions of voters.

“Daghan gyud ang dili ka botar kung istriktohon ang pag-implementar sa bag-ong balaod. Mao gani nga gikinahanglan gyud ang mandatory registration,” said Nala.

In his explanatory note, Lapid said: “The full imple-mentation on the use of biometrics technology in the registration process will be a big step in purging the list of voters and pave the way for clean and honest elections.”

Aniscal was a remnant of the ‘Ozamis Group’ who became a regular member of the ‘Alferez Gang,’ an organized crime syndicate engaged in a series of rob-bery in Northern Mindanao, Hinanay added.

He said that law enforc-ers armed with a warrant of arrest issued by a court in Ozamis City swooped down on Aniscal’s hideout in Sitio Mansino, barangay Mandangoa in Balingasag on Tuesday.

Hinanay said that the raiding team seized a Honda XRM motorcycle, one .45 caliber pistol, and a .38 caliber pistol.

Unicycle did not resist arrest, although an uniden-tified companion escaped during the raid, Hinanay said.

He said Aniscal was sus-pected to be responsible for a series of riding in tandem robbery and criminalities in the cities of Cagayan de Oro and Gingoog City.

According to Hinanay, Aniscal was in the list as a member of criminal and private armed groups in Ozamis City.

Aniscal’s arrest took place as Cagayan de Oro

Roland Ordona, manager of SAFRA-ADAP MPC, said the initiative was realized after the New Zealand-based Non Government Organization Christoffel Blindenmission supported the P5 million project cost to build at least 50 pre-cast concrete typhoon-strong houses. SAFRA-ADAP MPC will provide two sets of sawmill machineries and build a half hectare plant for the opera-tion of a lumber yard that will put to good use fallen and uprooted coconut trees damaged at the height of the typhoon. The cooperative by PWDs of this town has been suc-cessfully operating a mini-sawmill for furniture prod-ucts for 14 years provid-ing decent jobs to 70 of its members and beneficiaries. SAFRA-ADAP MPC has been granted a project to supply thousands of school chairs and teacher’s tables for public schools in Caraga, Region 11 and Region 9 in Mindanao from the 10 percent special allocation fund of the Department of Education. This year, the cooperative was given P11 million proj-ect for some 15,000 chairs and 337 tables. SAFRA ADAP MPC’s first big break was in 2005 when the De-partment of Environment and Natural Resources and the provincial government of Agusan del Sur identified

They simultaneously attacked the DMPI motor-pool garage at Manolo For-tich, Bukidnon, the DMPI fertilizer warehouse and logistics office at Vista Villa, Sumilao, Bukidnon, and the Dole Philippines office in Impasug-ong, Bukidnon; where they disabled the equipment and destroyed other capital goods used in the pineapple plantations. “The punitive attacks against the multi-national plantations have long been demanded by the indigenous people and peasant masses in Bukidnon and other parts of Mindanao whose ancestral lands have been seized, plundered, despoiled and poisoned by big foreign multina-tional corporations,” said Jorge Madlos alias Ka Oris, spokesman of the National Democratic Front (NDF) in Mindanao, the umbrella organization of the communist underground movement. Madlos said the attack was “a strong message to put a stop to land-use conversion.” He alleged that both pineapple multinational companies are “among the root causes of the massive flooding in Cagayan de Oro [during] Typhoon Sendong in December 2011.” “This is one way of delivering justice to the 2,000 people who died in

The 23 square meter pre-cast homes with con-crete wall panels reinforced with bamboo poles which can withstand even strong typhoons is designed by Peter Hammerle, a Ger-man adviser of global NGO called Foundation These-abled Persons, Inc. which has an office in Manila. Hammerle, a furniture and housing design expert, has been technical consul-tant of the cooperative in the production of high quality furniture and worked on establishing linkages with international financial in-stitutions to pursue their projects and trainings. Ordona said about five houses will be initially inaugurated on February 28 in Cateel together with the ground breaking of the mini-sawmill project. He said the local govern-ment in Cateel has given them the go signal to pur-sue the coconut lumber production project after a study by the Department of Agriculture had shown that rotten coconut trees would affect the soil fertility of farm lands.

the floods,” he stressed, adding that the rebel group have been demanding on DMPI and Dole owners and operators to “reorient their business and stop the expan-sion of their plantations in Mindanao [since] these…have caused grave damage to the environment.” DMPI and Dole are among the biggest mul-tinational corporations op-erating in the Philippines. DMPI has 23,000 hectares of pineapple plantations in the country with its Camp Philips, Bukidnon planta-tion spanning 9,000 hectares aside from its 5,000-hectare banana plantation in Agusan del Norte. Dole Philippines, on the other hand, operates more than 35,000 hectares of pineapple and banana plantations in various parts of Mindanao. But Col. Eugenio Julio Osias IV, spokesman of the Army’s 4th Infantry “Diamond” Division based in Camp Edilberto Evan-gelista, Patag in this city, denounced the NPA raid. Osias said the attacks were perpetrated to pressure DMPI and Dole to pay revolutionary taxes, which both multinationals repeatedly refused to pay. “These attacks are not anymore for propaganda purposes. The rebels have been targeting civilians,” he said. But Madlos denied the military’s claim. “It is not about money. This is about exact-ing justice,” he said. Elements of the 403rd Infantry Brigade, based in Camp Bahian in Malaybalay City, Bukid-non has launched a pursuit operation against the red fighters. (Bong D. Fabe)

According to Baca, some P19 million has been pro-grammed for Corn Pro-duction Enhancement, High-Value Crop, Livestock Production Enhancement, Fishery Production, Farm-to-Market Roads, Irrigation Support, Pre and Post Har-vest Facilities, Extension of Reseach Support.

The city agriculturist noted Amante’s concern and support for the farm-ers since he took over as this city’s chief executive in 2010. He said the city’s leadership has provided the needs of the agricultural sector to encourage farmers to become fully productive and to improve their living standards.

“The city has been self-sufficient in rice and the city administration’s target now is to be also self-sufficient in vegetables and livestock,” he added.

City Mayor Vicente Emano ordered local police to get criminals responsible for a series of robbery and kill-ing in the city in the past few days.

export such as bananas and papayas. It continues to buy or rent land not only in Bukidnon, but has expanded now to the mu-nicipalities of the eastern part of Misamis Oriental accumulating a total of 57,172 hectares.

These wide stretches of land which are turned into plantations were once tilled by peasants and Lu-mads who were evicted from their homes and livelihood. They stand powerless against the company’s armed security, much more in legal battles in the reactionary court. The peasants and Lumads who were stripped of their lands are now tilling the slopes on the fringes of the plantations. There are even documented cases of gastrointestinal epidemics involving displaced fami-lies feeding on food crops planted on the plantation periphery contaminated with highly-toxic chemi-cals Del Monte uses.

In 2010, it ranked 82nd of the top 1000 corpora-tions in the Philippines with P16.67 billion rev-enue. While the Campos family which owns this company rakes billions of pesos in profits, the workers here remain poor because of low wages and lack of benefits; constantly fear getting laid off for expressing grievances; and endure the suppression of their rights by the armed security.

Dole on the other hand started investing here in the last decade. It now operates 16,698.7 hectares of plantations: 2,034 of which are planted with pineapple while 14,664 are

utilized for a banana. In 2010, it ranked 39th of the top 1000 corporation with P26.97 billion in revenue. Its workers suffer from exploitation and oppres-sion. They receive poor wages—most of them are seasonally hired contrac-tual workers—and, like the Del Monte workers, suffer from health-hazardous working conditions and the unjust treatment of the management. They worry all the more today for fear of getting laid off sum-marily because of Itucho Corporation’s impending takeover after the sell-off of Dole last year.

Once more, we reiterate our call to these compa-nies to end all their envi-ronmentally-destructive operations, land grabbing and their exploitative and oppressive activities. They must immediately stop the expansion of their planta-tions. As to their contrac-tors, we warn them again to seriously consider the security of their business before closing deals with multinational agribusiness companies such as Del Monte and Dole.

Fault...from page 6

And they should have known the negative con-sequences of this folly to their own political agenda. Unfortunately, because of Binay’s incongruous posi-tion, the coalition’s image now is greatly damaged.

I myself could not imag-ine why UNA took the posi-tion of including Legarda, Escudero and Poe as its guest candidates. Did they forget that the three as official candidates of Team PNoy personally handpicked by the President no less are prohibited by simple pro-tocol from appearing on stage where the President’s program of government will have to be necessar-ily assailed? Even if the three are not expected to say something against the Aquino administration’s programs or policies, my God, protocol demands they can’t be on the same stage where these are criticized.

How can the UNA can-didates, its senatorial bets specifically, convince the electorate that they are de-serving of their vote as their watchdog against adminis-tration abuses and excesses if they are not going to publicly criticize Aquino? As a political observer myself, I really could not imagine how will UNA make itself credible if they are not going to do this.

UNA’s political escapade will never work for them. And as newspaper reports indicate, the opposition coalition has started dis-tancing itself from the three guest candidates. During their campaign sortie in Pampanga the other day, there was nothing on stage to show that Legarda, Escu-

dero and Poe are still part of that coalition.

This is good for the party. UNA should make up its mind whether it is a true opposition coalition or a mere yellow coalition that even the administration coalition does not recog-nize. In the case of yellow unions, at least they are recognized as such by the employer and thus secretly being promoted and helped by the latter.

The funny thing about UNA is that it is the one that is insisting its being a friend, supporter and ally of the Aquino administration while the latter is adamant in identifying UNA as an opposition denying all its profession of friendship, support and alliance. Now can we still say it is not UNA’s fault why it is in such a fix? Your answer to this is as good as mine.

main regional guerrilla front of the CPP’s North Central Mindanao Regional Command.

In a synchronized moved, the rebels also assaulted the com-pany’s satellite camp in Villa Vista in Sumilao, Bukidnon where they burned the warehouse filled with fertilizers and the staff house there.

Sumilao town Mayor Rey Baula reported that about 20-armed men seized the company’s satellite camp located some 50 kilometers southwest of Camp Philips in Manolo Fortich.

Baula said there was no report of casualty in the Sumilao attacked.

The company pioneered by an American migrant sometime in 1935 controls more than 16,000 hectares of land, some 10,000 hectares planted with pineapple.

It was the first time that armed communist rebels stormed Del Monte Philippines, one of the largest multi-national tropical fruit companies in Asia, with pineapple as its main product distributed worldwide, after almost 100 years in operation in the Southern Philip-pines Island of Mindanao.

In 1990s, the plantation ex-panded to the neighboring towns of Impasug-ong and Sumilao where the company rents idle farm lots in the area. The company employs about 3,000 regular workers and hundreds of ‘piece workers’ in the plantation site.

Gregoria Madlos a.k.a. ‘Ka Oris,’ spokesperson of the Na-tional Democratic Front (NDF) in Mindanao, said that punitive actions against Del Monte Philip-pines would likely take place in the future.

He said that the military actions taken against the pineapple com-pany were to ‘punish’ the company for destroying the environment in the wake of the expansion of pineapple plantation in the area.

Madlos blamed Del Monte Philippines, Inc. for the disastrous flash flood brought by typhoon Sendong that resulted in the death of hundreds of people living along the Cagayan de Oro City River in Dec. 17, 2011.

Osias, however, dismissed Madlos claim saying the NPA attacked Del Monte Philippines in Bukidnon since the pineapple company refused to pay ‘protection money’ in the guise of revolution-ary tax to the communist rebels.

He said the military was also verifying reports that the NPA staged the attack to warn political candidates in Northern Mindanao against those who might refuse to pay ‘campaign fee’ in the midterm election in May this year. CD
