NPA rebels gun down alleged military informer in Masbate

From the Philippine News Agency (Mar 22): NPA rebels gun down alleged military informer in Masbate

A 42-year-old driver of “habal-habal” (a colorum for-hire motorcycle) was gunned down by young-looking members of the New People's Army (NPA) SPARU Unit on Friday morning in Barangay Curvada, Cataingan, Masbate, a top police official here said Saturday.

Chief Supt. Victor P. Deona, Philippine National Police Bicol regional police director, identified the victim as Wilnon Mollejon, 42, married and resident of Barangay Osmeña, Cataingan.

The incident happened at about 7:30 a.m. Friday while Mollejon was driving his motorcycle with a back-seat passenger who was going to his piggery when the suspects blocked their way, asked passenger Antonio Mangubat to alight and shot the victim on his head and body.

Deona said the rebels suspected Mollejon of being a police and military informer on the activities of the NPA.

After the shooting, the suspects casually walked away from the scene, leaving Mollejon’s lifeless body sprawled on the road.

The victim’s passenger immediately asked the help of authorities, who recovered empty shells of a .45-caliber pistol and a 9mm-caliber handgun believed to have been used by the rebels.
