BONTOC, Mountain Province—Ten barangays in the
province recently held rallies in their barangays calling
for stop to clashes between government and rebel groups.
This, following gunfights between government troops and New People’s Army guerillas here in Barangay Mainit Sept. 28.
According to authorities, local folks urged the Communist Party of the Philippines- NPA– National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF) to leave their barangays
Barangays included Dalican, Guinaang, and Mainit of Bontoc; Balintaugan of Bauko; Ankileng and Aguid, Bangaan, Fidelisan, Pide, and Madongo of Sagada.
Local folks reportedly called for a stop to recruitment of minors and indigenous people in their communities to the CPP-NPA.
These barangays were previously influenced by the CPP-NPA and recently declared cleared of communist groups by government’s Task Force ELCAC.
Government authorities said they would run after CPP-NPA elements in the Cordillera like Mountain Province but rebel groups said they will fight it out as injustices are being committed against the people under the present administration.
