On July 18, 1972, a military raid on a New People's Army hideout in Barrio Taringsing led to the discovery of the so-called Taringsing Documents, outlining plans by the CPP-NPA to overthrow the Philippine government by 1973. This became one of the reasons used by President Ferdinand Marcos in declaring Martial Law later in September 1972.
