2 buses torched in P’sinan terminal

SAN FABIAN, Pangasinan – Two buses of the Five Star company were torched at a terminal here night of July 24.

Authorities said no one was hurt in the incident. Probers ruled out the employees’ claim that communist rebels could be behind the attack, suspecting that a labor dispute was a likely cause.

The company placed the damage at P5.5 million. Armed with handguns, the arsonists used gasoline in plastic gallon containers and small bottles, reports said.

The attackers reportedly told a terminal guard that the Five Star manager owed them something. They casually walked away after setting the two buses on fire. – George Trillo
