An 18-year old out-of-school youth who got tired of hiding
in the mountains surrendered to the police after a year with the communist New
People's Army (NPA).
With this development, Police Regional Office – Cordillera
(PRO-Cor) Chief Supt. Isagani Nerez encouraged other members of the underground
movement to surrender and abandon the armed struggle and return to the comfort
of their families and assist police and other law enforcement agencies to bring
peace to the region.
Belated reports from Natonin, Mountain Province
Palmero also surrendered his firearm.
He joined the communist movement in 2014 and later joined in
conducting mass activities, Natonin police reported. He did not join any raid
or ambush of the underground army.
Palmero said he was from Barangay Bagong Pag-asa, Quezon City and he surrendered through the assistance of
SPO2 Esteban Basbasan Jr., barangay officials of Balangao, Natonin, Mountain Province
Likewise, Nerez said the continued efforts of the regional
police force has nabbed two wanted persons in the region because of the
intensified campaign against wanted criminals as he challenged all police
commanders to “ensure the arrest and conviction of all criminals in the
jurisdictions.”
Nerez said the Cordillera Regional Highway Patrol Unit
(RHPU) reported the arrest of the third wanted man for the first quarter of
this year who is charged with carnapping.
RHPU operatives arrested Von George Pineda, a resident of
Happy Home, Old Lucban, Baguio City while he was at the Baguio General Hospital
and Medical Center for a check-up.
Regional Trial Court Branch 7 Judge Mona Lisa V.
Tiongson-Tabora recommended PHP300,000 for his bail.
Nerez added that at the level of the police station his men
have also been doing their best to arrest the wanted persons.
Also recently, the fourth wanted man was nabbed by elements
of Station 5 of the Baguio City Police Office (BCPO) in his residence at No.
116 City Camp Proper, Baguio
City
Police identified the suspect as Dominador Galvez Sr., 64,
for twice violating the Child Abuse Law or Republic Act 7610.
Operatives of the City Intelligence Unit (CIU-BCPO) said RTC
Judge Mia Joy C. Cawed set PHP80,000 bail.
