From the Philippine News Agency (Mar 6): NPA rebels admit killing Davao barangay
police
The New Peoples Army (NPA) has admitted the killing of a barangay police who
they claimed acted as a civilian intelligence agent and participated in
counter-revolutionary operations of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) in
the remote Barangay New Carmen, Baguio District here.
In a statement signed by an NPA spokesperson, the NPA said the killing of
Paulino Landim Jr. on March 2, 2013 at Purok 4, Barangay Carmen, Baguio District
was a punishment of the NPA’s military tribunal for his participation in the
AFP’s counter-insurgency operations.
The NPA also boasted the release of five other civilian assets after finding
that they were serving as forest guard volunteers of Philippine Eagle
Conservation Program Foundation.
The NPA said Landim together with Cesar Aggas, Jomer Manando, Alvin Aggas,
Elmer Aggas and Jerbel Aggas were arrested and detained on March 1.
But on March 2, all but Landim were released by the NPA.
NPA said that the so-called order against Landim was handed down on March 29,
2012 due to his reported participation as military spy which reportedly resulted
in the killing of NPA member and wounding another by operatives of 84th Infantry
Battalion and Police Special Action Force on February 25, 2011.
