The NPA has expressed concern over the deployment of more than 300 SAF troopers and the killing of civilians in Negros Oriental.
At least 17 persons were killed in a span of one week in Negros Oriental.
The PNP said NPA rebels could be behind the killings, saying some of the assailants spray-painted pro-NPA messages at the houses of their victims.But the Communist Party of the Philippines has denied any involvement and accused the police, military and paramilitary forces as behind the killings.
“We do not write messages on the wall when we execute revolutionary justice. We issue official statements,” Jacinto said in a phone interview on Tuesday.“They were not NPA targets. They had no bad record. The NPA had no reason to mete [out] revolutionary justice on them,” she said.
