Joint military and police units have arrested a New People's
Army (NPA) liaison officer during checkpoint operations in Barangay Sirawan,
Toril District, Davao
City
The incident took place 9 p.m., said Eastern Mindanao
Command public affairs office chief Capt. Alberto Caber.
The arrested rebel was identified as John Omega Nebris alias
"Part" and affiliated with the NPA Southern Mindanao Regional
Committee.
Recovered from his possession were a .45 pistol caliber, a
fragmentation grenade; three cellular phones, 13 sim cards, Php5,000 in cash
and personal belongings.
Nebris is now detained at Toril PNP station while the case
is being prepared against him.
The former's arrest stemmed from reports coming from a
concerned citizen.
Caber said Nebris' arrest is a big blow to the NPA movement
as he is knowledgeable of the rebels' activities in the region.
As this develops, the Eastern Mindanao Command is now
conducting pursuit operations against thee NPAs who destroyed four backhoes,
two graders; a crane; and a dump truck in Sta. Cruz, Davao Del Sur Saturday
night.
Extortion is being eyed as the motive for these attacks.
