COTABATO CITY — The Army’s 6th Infantry Division is bracing for renewed attacks by the New People’s Army in retaliation for the death of five guerrillas in a bungled attempt to take over a military detachment in Columbio, Sultan Kudarat last week.

In text messages to media outfits, a certain Ka Efren, claiming to be the spokesman of the National Democratic Front in the South Cotabato-Sarangani-General Santos City (Socsargen) area, warned of attacks on Army and police outposts in revenge for the deaths of their comrades in Columbio town. — John Unson
