NPA rebels gun down suspected military asset

From the Philippine News Agency (Jan 21): NPA rebels gun down suspected military asset

New People's Army (NPA) rebels shot dead a 43-year-old farmer who they accused of being an informer of the military and the police inside his house in Barangay Jagna-an, San Jacinto, Masbate at about 2:30 p.m. Thursday.

A police report said victim Jason Escorel was resting inside his house when six young-looking rebels, all armed with M-16 armalite rifles, barged in and peppered his head and body with bullets, causing his instantaneous death. The dissidents casually left the place after the execution.

Relatives said Escorel had already been receiving threats on his life from the rebels who accused him of being a military-police asset in their village, giving information to the authorities about their activities.

The victim, however, had vehemently denied the accusation.
