NPA rebels raid village chief’s house, seize firearms

From the Philippine News Agency (Nov 30): NPA rebels raid village chief’s house, seize firearms

New People's Army (NPA) rebels attacked the residence of the incumbent village head at Barangay Osmena, Claveria, Masbate on Saturday night.

A police report said the rebels also confiscated the firearms of Barangay Captain Victor Ballesteros, 52 and married.

The report said that at about 7:30 p.m., around 20 armed rebels arrived at Ballesteros’ house and immediately asked for his firearms while his relatives and fellow villagers were watching.

The village official immediately showed where his guns were kept.

The rebels carted away Ballesteros’ two shotguns marked SAM with Serial Nos. SS0509076 and SS05090745, a .45-caliber pistol with Serial No. MO7093109 and ammunition for these firearms.

After getting what they wanted, the communist insurgents immediately retreated towards the mountainous portion of the village but warned the residents not to tell authorities about the incident.
