Ka Roger Rosal’s son-in-law nabbed in Cavite

From GMA News (Jun 5): Ka Roger Rosal’s son-in-law nabbed in Cavite

Cavite police on Friday arrested a communist rebel leader who is also the husband of Andrea Rosal, daughter of the late communist spokesman Gregorio "Ka Roger" Rosal.

Billy Santiago, allegedly the commanding officer of the Southern Tagalog Regional Party Committee of the New People's Army, was arrested 3 p.m. in Brgy. Sta Rosa 1 in Noveleta, Cavite, according to Senior Superintendent Jonnel Estomo, head of the Cavite provincial police.

Santiago, who also uses the names Nene and Bibiet, has a pending arrest warrant for kidnapping and murder issued by the Quezon Regional Trial Court Branch 64, Estomo said.

Andrea Rosal was arrested in Caloocan in March 2014, also based on the same warrant of arrest. She is suspected to be a leader of the Communist Party of the Philippines and the NPA.

Rosal, who was pregnant when arrested, gave birth while in detention, but the baby later died at the Philippine General Hospital due to oxygen deficiency in the blood — an incident blamed by militant groups on prison authorities' alleged neglect.

Estomo said Santiago will be brought to the Cavite Provincial Police Office for documentation.
