Police have arrested a suspected member of the New People’s Army (NPA) who is currently employed as a security officer of a Quezon City subdivision where some high-ranking government officials live.
Director Benjamin Magalong, chief of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), said 47-year-old Benigno Umbay was actually an inactive communist rebel based in Northern Luzon who has been in hiding after he was tagged in robbery and homicide cases in Ilocos region several years back.
Magalong said Umbay was arrested inside his residence along Kalayaan Street in Barangay Batasan Hills in Quezon City at around 6 a.m. on Saturday.
“He has been in hiding after several cases were filed against him. An arrest warrant was actually issued against him by a court in Ilocos Sur,” said Magalong.
