From Tempo (Mar 27): NPA insurgents execute 2 comrades

Philippines – New People’s Army (NPA) insurgents in Agusan Del Sur seized and killed two of their former comrades who have returned to the fold of the law, a military spokesman said.

Lt. Col. Eugenio Julio Osias IV, the 4th Infantry Division (4ID) spokesman, said the abduction occurred around 9:40 p.m. on March 24 when a group NPA insurgents armed with AK47 and M16 armalite rifle led by Renato Sayasat forcibly took Julieto Acebedo Piling alias “Dimple Cocoy” and Rodel Garcia alias “Brital”, both of Purok Nangka Tunnel 15, Road 17, Barangay Consuelo, Bunawan, Agusan Del Sur.

Osias said the victims were having a happy hour at the residence of a certain Yurie Eupenia, a village leader, when the rebels arrived and at gunpoint, took Piling and Garcia with them. That was the last time the two were seen alive.

On the following day, March 24 at around 4:00 p.m., Osias said the two were found lifeless in Sito Blue Tent, Purok 12, Barangay Bayugan 3, Rosario, Agusan del Sur with multiple gunshot wounds.

The military condemned this latest extrajudicial killing done by the NPA.
