MANILA – The Philippine military has threatened to bomb communities in Rodriguez (formerly Montalban), Rizal, prompting about 250 families to leave their homes, Karapatan – Rizal reported.
A resident detailed to Karapatan – Rizal on April 5 that they were being forcefully evacuated from their homes. A similar report was also gathered on April 6, particularly from barangay Mascap.
The threat is allegedly related to the consecutive armed encounters between the 80th Infantry Battalion of the Philippine Army and the New People’s Army (NPA) from March 31 until April 2.
