CPP/Ang Bayan: CAPIZ: 3 firearms confiscated

From the English language edition of the CPP propaganda publication Ang Bayan (Jul 21): CAPIZ: 3 firearms confiscated

Three firearms were confiscated by a unit under the Nonito Aguirre Command in Eastern Panay in a disarming operation against a drug lord in Barangay Carataya, Cuartero, Capiz on May 19.

The target was Darwin Celiz, who deals illegal drugs and seizes firearms which he uses to harass people. Confiscated from Celiz’s group was an M16 Baby Armalite equipped with an aiming scope, a KG9 machine pistol and a handgun with magazines and ammunition.

It was after 2 p.m. when Celiz’s Toyota Vios passed by a checkpoint set up by the NPA. The vehicle was stopped and Celiz and his two companions ordered to alight. A search of the car yielded the firearms and ammunition.
The NPA warned Celiz regarding his drug dealing activities, his despotic treatment of people who owe him money and his seizure of firearms which he uses to intimidate and at times fire at other people.

On the other hand, the military exposed itself as a protector of criminal elements within its jurisdiction after Maj. Ray Tiongson of the 3rd Infantry Division condemned the NPA’s disarming operation against Celiz.
