The latest attack happened a few days ago, when NPA rebels blasted a truck with explosives. ADVERTISEMENTThe company said it could no longer afford to incur losses because of the NPA attacks, which came after it continuously refused to pay revolutionary tax. BAROBO, Surigao del Sur—Multinational banana firm Dole-Stanfilco has decided to shut down its operation here and in nearby Tagbina town following a series of attacks by suspected New People’s Army (NPA) rebels, which targeted its container trucks. The displaced workers held a march-rally here early this week and denounced the NPA’s attacks that caused the closure of the company. From 2010, the rebels had burned a total of 19 trucks, the company said.
