2 wanted NPA rebels captured in Quezon

From the Philippine News Agency (Aug 12): 2 wanted NPA rebels captured in Quezon

Two ranking New People’s Army members operating in the Bondoc Peninsula in Quezon were arrested consecutively in joint police and military operations recently.

Southern Luzon Command commander Lt. Gen. Caesar Ronnie Ordoyo named the NPA member in the San Francisco insurgency group as Juanito dela Peña alias “Jacko” who was captured in Barangay F. Nañadiego, Mulanay Quezon.

Dela Peña’s arrest was ordered by virtue of the warrant of arrest for attempted murder issued by the Regional Trial Court Branch 62 in Gumaca, Quezon.

In 2011, dela Peña eluded arrest despite what the military reported he was wounded in the right leg during a clash with the Philippine Army troops at Brgy. Pagsangahan, San Francisco.

Also, the 74th IB and San Andres, Quezon police arrested a certain Joel Peros alias “Reyman” in Sitio Arumahan, Barangay Talisay, San Andres, Quezon.

Peros is allegedly a member of the NPA unit operating in San Andres,Quezon and is facing criminal raps for attempted murder with the RTC in Gumaca Quezon.

The dissident was tagged as one of the suspects in the ambush of San Andres police officers in Barangay Talisay in San Andres, Quezon in 2010.

Lt. Gen. Ordoyo congratulated the combined security forces and directed them to further intensify the military campaign to neutralize NPA members who are sowing terroristic activities at the SOLCOM’s area of responsibility.

“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,” the SOLCOM commanding general said.

He also called on the NPA and other insurgents to abandon their armed struggle and return to the fold of law and embrace the peaceful settlement offered by the government.
