Clearing Operation

The Local Government Unit of Bansalan Davao del Sur, under the Reyes administration, had pursued its order to demolish the building situated at the center of the public market a couple of days ago. It can be recalled that the occupants were already informed to vacate the place even during the previous administration of Mayor Arches. The building was already very old and dilapidated making it very hazardous to fire incident or to any natural and man made calamities. Besides, the old structure of the building was no longer presentable enough to be erected in the center of the town's economic zone.

Among the occupants of the building were the MD Drug , AMG Hardware, A1 Barbershop, La Cebuana Carenderia, Park N GO Bakeshoppe,Mabunga Store and others. There were oppositions coming from them in the past, but it was Reyes' strong political that made that made them vacate the place. They were not given relocation places, but instead, they were asked to look for new locations where they can continue doing business. Some of them had resumed their economic activity already.On the other hand, the barbecue stalls will be relocated to the riverside near the Gulayan ng Bayan. Construction of the same is already on-going.

The vacated place shall be utilized as open parking space for the general public. Common folks are just waiting for the next move of the LGU. There has been rumors that a public terminal shall be constructed in the area.

Alleged members of the New People's Army killed three policemen and a village watchman Monday in an ambush in Davao del Sur province.

The policemen were on the outskirts of the town of Bansalan town when they were attacked reportedly by a group of twenty armed men.

Killed were Bansalan's police chief Senior Inspector Emilex Mabalot, Police Officer 3 Vernie Luis Humol, PO3 Ruel Salces and barangay tanod Rudy Dela Paz. Senior Police Officer 4 Efren Suico meanwhile was wounded.

Reports said that the policemen came from Barangay Balagunon and were en route back to their station when ambushed.

Barangay Balagunon is reported to be an area where the NPA rebels operate.

Pursuit operations have been launched by Army’s 39th Infantry Batallion.

Monday's attack came a day after the NPA said the government had refused to negotiate for three other policemen held captive after a clash in Rizal province last month.

The NPA is the armed unit of the Communist Party of the Philippines, which has been waging a Maoist rebellion against government since 1969.

The group earlier warned of stepped up attacks against government targets. With reports from Michell Robin, ABS-CBN Southern Mindanao and Agence France-Presse
