Despite the string of cases filed against him, suspected New People’s Army leader Rogelio Posadas, alias Poten and Isko, managed to post bail, and is now out of jail. The alleged rebel leader reportedly posted P180,000 as bail.
Senior Supt. Milko Lirazan, provincial police director of Negros Occidental, said yesterday that Posadas was freed from jail on March 7.
Posadas, tagged by the military as the secretary of the Northern Negros Guerilla Front, was apprehended at a checkpoint on January 9 in San Carlos City, by virtue of an arrest warrant for murder.
Posadas also faces robbery-in-band and homicide charges, Col. Jon Aying, 303rd Infantry Brigade commander, said.
The New People’s Army Roselyn Pelle Command has issued a statement claiming that Posadas is a National Democratic Front security officer, while the NDF said he is among their peace consultants.
Aside from Posadas, other alleged rebel leaders arrested in Negros Occidental, are Romeo Natan, regional commander of the NPA, Mary Grace Delicano-Sumayang, Nilda Natan Bertulano, Rogelio Danoso, and Hernando Llorente who rejoined their comrades in the mountains, after posting bail and being released from detention, the military said.
