She is facing criminal charges, including multiple murder, frustrated murder, and robbery.
Martinez said Callao was arrested at a checkpoint in Poblacion, Sibagat, Agusan del Sur, last Friday.
“Together with the Philippine National Police (PNP) and with the help of the peace loving citizens of Sibagat, Agusan del Sur, Callao was arrested by virtue of several warrants of arrest and a in a lawful and proper arrest procedure,” said Martinez.
Recovered from her possession are one .357-caliber pistol with ammunition, one Lenovo tablet, four cellular phones, P5,200 cash, and “subversive documents with high intelligence value.”
Col. Alexander Macario, commander of 401st Infantry Brigade, said that Callao “has long been pursued by the law because she is responsible in all the financial transactions of the NPA who are actively creating atrocities in different parts of Mindanao.”
“Her apprehension could lead to the discovery of all the financial transactions of NPA operating in Surigao del Sur. It is possible to get important information from her since she has a high position being the secretary of GF 30A and regional financial and medical staff of NEMRC,” he added.
