Rebels gun down alleged military informer

From the Philippine News Agency (Jun 7): Rebels gun down alleged military informer

New People's Army (NPA) rebels gunned down an alleged military informer on board a pedicab he was driving on Sunday morning at Purok 7, Barangay Bagauma, Aroroy, Masbate.

A police report said victim Arnel Atega, 34, married and resident of the village, was on his way to the pedicab terminal at about 6:15 a.m. when two young men armed with a submachine gun approached him and peppered him with bullets.

The suspects sped off on board a motorcycle towards the direction of Sitio Cambatang, Barangay Jaboyoan, the report said.

It said Atega had been receiving death threats from the rebels who had suspected him of being a military and police asset.

Alega's relatives, however, denied the NPA's accusations, saying he was just a simple pedicab driver working for his family's daily sustenance.
