From the Philippine News Agency (Jan 6): NPAs abduct anew 2 civilians earlier released in Davao City

Two civilians who were earlier reported to have been abducted but released after hours of captivity, were allegedly re-abducted by New People’s Army (NPA) rebels in Marilog district here. Lt. Col. Jerry Besana, spokesperson and executive officer of Task Force Davao, said Junjun Alonzo and Tata Pandian are now again in the hands of the rebel group led by a certain Ka Bobby.

Alonzo and Pandian along with Jun Lopez, all residents of sitio Luyan, Barangay Tambobong, Marilog district were kidnapped last December 30 but were later released. They were held captive from 5:30 a.m. and were released around 3:30 p.m. on the same day after undergoing rigid interrogation, Besana said. After reporting the incident to authorities, the two were abducted again at their respective houses in the afternoon of January 3, he said.

Another resident of Barangay Tambobong, Boy Betil was also abducted by the NPAs in Sitio Sayawan, Barangay Salaysay, Marilog District, this city on Dec. 23, 2012. He was suspected as a military informant, he added.

Besana said some witnesses reported that Betil was tortured, immersed on the Tuli River and remained to be still in the hands of the rebel group. “Until now, no one knows the whereabouts of Betil,” he said.
