From The Standard (Aug 12): Police, army arrest rebels behind ‘11 Misamis attack
 
Two suspected New People’s Army rebels involved in the attack of the municipal police station of Medina town in Misamis Oriental province in August 2011, killing one policeman, were arrested on Monday  by joint operatives of the Philippine National Police and the 58th   IB Philippines Army based in Gingoog City.

Captain Joe Patrick Martinez,  spokesperson of the 4thInfantry Division Philippine Army, identified the captured rebels as Danilo Lampusay (also known as  Dan-Dan) and Ejohn Lampusay. They were arrested Monday in Purok 2, Barangay Minalwang, Claveria, Misamis Oriental.

Martinez said a former rebel pointed to the location of the two, making the arrest possible.

According to former rebel, the two were regular members of Sangay sa Partido Pampropaganda 3, Guerilla Front 4B, North Central Mindanao Regional Committee (SPP3, GF4B, NCMRC) under Open Hangadon a.k.a Tingcas who led the recent attack at Hindangon, Gingoog City CAA Patrol Base. He added that they had killed three CAA members.

Major General Oscar T Lactao, Commander of 4ID said, “While the two have been arrested, their leader, who is the brain behind the attack, remains at large. This is the consequence when you join the New People’s Army. There will be nobody, not even your leaders, will come to your rescue. You are on your own to defend the charges against you. Soon the long arm of the law will reach their leaders. They have to face the crime they committed.”
