Another suspected leader of the New People’s Army was arrested yesterday by combined team of the police and military in Leganes, Iloilo.

The arrest of Norberto Castor, with the aliases of Marlon and Greg, who is facing charges for multiple murder with the use of explosives, and frustrated murder, brought to six the number of key NPA personalities arrested in Negros and Panay, since the start of the year.

Of the six NPA leaders apprehended by the police and Philippine Army, by virtue of arrest warrants, five were nabbed in Negros Occidental and Oriental, Maj. Rey Tiongson, Public Affairs Office chief of the 3rd Infantry Division, said.
