2 NPA rebels bagged in Quezon

From the Philippine News Agency (Aug 9): 2 NPA rebels bagged in Quezon

Two members of the New People’s Army (NPA) operating at the tip of Bondoc Peninsula in Quezon, were arrested by military and police operatives during joint operation last Aug. 6

Belated reports from Lt. Gen. Caesar Ronnie F. Ordoyo, Southern Luzon Command head, said Juanito Dela Peña alias "Jacko", a member of the NPA cadre in San Francisco, Quezon was arrested noon of Aug. 6 by virtue of warrant of arrest for attempted murder issued by Regional Trial Court, Branch 62 in Gumaca, Quezon.

In 2011, Dela Peña was wounded on his right leg in a clash with the Philippine Army forces at Barangay Pagsangahan, San Francisco.

A day after the arrest of Dela Peña, the 74th Infantry Battalion and San Andres, Quezon police again apprehended Joel Peros alias "Reyman", 35, a member of the NPA unit operating in San Andres Quezon.

Peros is facing a criminal charge for attempted murder at RTC in Gumaca Quezon.

Peros is said to be involved in the ambush of San Andres police officers at Barangay Talisay, San Andres, Quezon in 2010.

“We cannot allow these criminals to terrorize our communities, sabotage our growing economy and hamper our daily lives. We must put a stop to the criminal activities of the NPA,” Ordoyo said.
