Police operatives arrested on Wednesday a leader of the New People’s Army (NPA),
who is also one of Bicol’s most wanted persons, at Barangay Lanang, Aroroy town
in Masbate, a report reaching Camp Gen. Simeon Ola, the police regional
headquarters, here said Thursday.
Joint police and military operatives collared Ruel Vargas alias Weng, a
native of Masbate, at his hideout in Aroroy town, according to Supt. Renato
Bataller, Philippine National Police (PNP) Bicol spokesperson.
Vargas is in PNP list of most wanted persons for the killing of Nelson

Bataller said Vargas is considered by the PNP as Bicol’s 3rd ranking most
wanted person and carries a P150,000 bounty on his head.
Vargas is facing murder and rebellion charges at the Regional Trial Court
Branch 47 under Judge Maximino Ables.
Bataller said Vargas is a member of the executive committee of communist
guerrilla front under the NPA Jose Rapsing Command operating in Masbate
province.
