Half an hour later, NPA guerrillas ambushed officers from the 1st Police Mobile Company at Barangay Singon, Tubungan town, Iloilo. For Sen. Panfilo Lacson, a former PNP chief, the attacks showed that the NPA no longer listened to Sison. The attacks, Lacson said on Tuesday, indicated Sison’s lack of control on the NPA or lack of trustworthiness. “It simply means that the NPA guerrillas don’t listen to Sison anymore. Junior Sen. Ronald dela Rosa, also a former PNP chief, said the attacks amid a ceasefire were “nothing new” for the NPA.
