Military and police operatives arrested the New People's
Army's No. 2 leader in the Bicol region during operations in Cabuyao City
Southern Luzon Command spokesperson Major Angelo Guzman
identified the arrested rebel as Reynaldo Hugo.
He was bagged by security forces at 10:14 p.m. Tuesday by
virtue of Arrest Warrants CC# 2367 (multiple murder) and 2368 (multiple
frustrated murder) issued by Branch 50, 5th Judicial Region in San
Jose , Camarines Sur.
A member of the Executive Committee and Operations Officer
in Bicol region, Hugo used to dictate the operational tempo of the NPA in the
area.
Guzman said internal disputes on the whereabouts of
extortion money led for some NPA members to pinpoint Hugo to the authorities.
"Now that they are disarrayed with the arrest of
Reynaldo Hugo, this is a good opportunity for us to further push our focused
military operations there," Southern Luzon Command head Major Gen. Ricardo
R. Visaya said.
Last year, three ranking NPA leaders in Bicol were arrested,
namely: Regional Secretary Mario Dela Cruz, Executive Committee member
Sylvestre Layones and Sorsogon Secretary Elias Florentino Pura.
