From the Visayan Daily Star (Apr 9): Farmer shot dead
in San Jose brgy
The Philippine Army has accused the New People's Army rebels of killing a
farmer in Brgy. Siapo, San Jose, in Negros Oriental at around 4 p.m. Saturday.
1Lt. Lito Orbita of the 79 th Infantry Battalion, said Cirilo Sienes, 40, of
Sitio Guinlungsuran in Brgy. Siapo was shot in the head by an undetermined
number of suspected rebels in his farm.
Two spent shells of a .45 caliber revolver and a computerized letter
purportedly from the NPA “Rachelle Mae Palang Command South East Negros” were
found at the crime scene, Orbita said.
He also said that, the letter states that the NPA killed Sienes for his
noncooperation and support to the ideology and struggle of the rebels.
The killing of Sienes could be part of the NPA post-anniversary offensives
that target peace-loving civilians who refuse to support the rebels, Orbita
added. He said the South Eastern Front Komiteng Rehiyon Sentral Bisayas of the
NPA, operating in southern Negros Oriental, have committed several atrocities,
among them two deaths, since the start of 2013.
