The Cauayan police force has been beefed up by police mobile
troopers after another former member of the Civilian Armed Forces Geographical
Unit was shot and killed by five suspects believed to be members of the New
People's Army Tuesday in Sitio Pinamay-an, Brgy. Camalandaan of the town.
The killing of Ex-CAFGU member Rene Villar brought to three
the number of fatalities assassinated by suspected rebels Dec. 1 and 2 in
Cauayan town alone.
Ex-CAFGU member Jimboy Nalagon was also executed by four
armed suspects on Tuesday in Sitio La-a, Brgy. Camindangan, Cauayan, a day
after CAFGU member Romualdo Dollente was gunned down by four alleged members of
the NPA Special Partisan Unit at the town public market.
Supt. Frederick Mead, Cauayan police chief, said Nalagon,
who was linked to hold-up and theft incidents, had already been warned by
alleged NPA members to stop his illegal activities and to leave the barangay.
Villar and Nalagon were both shot dead outside their homes
in hinterland areas of Cauayan on Tuesday, Mead said.
Col. Leopoldo Galon, deputy commander of the 303rd Infantry
Brigade, said yesterday that the resumption of NPA violent activities, by
targeting former and active CAFGU members, indicated that they were badly
affected by their ongoing Oplan Bayanihan activities in insurgency-affected
areas.
Senior Supt. Samuel Nacion, Negros Occidental PNP
officer-in-charge, said that there is an ongoing operation against the
perpetrators of those killings in Cauayan, in tandem with the 79th Infantry
Battalion.
Military and police officials yesterday held a security
conference to thwart possible violent activities of the NPA in Cauayan and
neighboring areas.
