                    [Summary] => BUTUAN CITY — Fifty-three villages in the Caraga region are potential "hot spots" in the forthcoming elections mainly due to communist threats, police said.


Chief Superintendent Alberto Rama Olario, Caraga police director, said three of the 53 barangays — two in Agusan del Sur and one in Surigao del Sur — are "areas of immediate concern."


Olario, however, said the number may increase or decrease depending on the daily assessment of police authorities, clarifying that the list is based on poll-related incidents in 2001.

Olario said rebel attacks on the equipment of contractors building roads, school buildings and other expensive infrastructure, supposedly over the companies’ failure to pay "revolutionary taxes," unduly burden the ordinary folk who badly need these facilities.
