Two
brothers who are suspected armed members of the New People's Army (NPA) and
responsible for launching an attack in the municipal police station of Roxas in
2012 were arrested Wednesday in El Nido town in northern Palawan .
Palawan
Provincial Police Office (PPO) spokesperson Insp. Pearl Marzo identified the
two arrested suspects as Melvin Revillas, 27, resident of Taytay, and his elder
brother Edwin, 33, resident of El Nido.
She
said that after undergoing investigation, the two were presented to court for
proper filing of charges and committed to the Palawan Provincial Jail (PPJ).
The
Revilla brothers are said to be involved in the attack launched by NPA armed
men in December last year at the PNP municipal station in Roxas, where a
policeman was killed.
Marzo
said they were arrested around 10 a.m. in El Nido.
She
added that the arrest of the Revilla brothers has set their hopes anew that the
rest of the rebels will be arrested in due time.
