The former NPA rebels torched the NPA flag in front of the participants to lambast the NPAs of their past atrocities for the detriment of the people.

“Let us join hands in addressing our peace and security concern towards attaining progress and development,” the message of 101^st Infantry Brigade Commanding Officer Col. Alobba during the said occasion.

The New People’s Army undermined our economy and ruined our democratic way of life through the imposition of Revolutionary Tax, extortion activities, imposition of permit to campaign money and permit to win, sabotage to vital installations, purging of civilians who are not supportive to their cause and to their comrades who are suspected to be government agents among others, Col. Alobba disclosed.
