Military and police operatives on Tuesday morning arrested a ranking New People’s Army (NPA) leader and his companion during operations in Madaum, Tagum City.
Capt. Rhyan Batchar, 10th Infantry Division spokesperson, said their troops along with members of the Criminal Investigation Detection Group-11 (CIDG-11), Tagum PNP, conducted the operation at 11:15 a.m.
The suspects were identified as Ariel Arbitrario alias Marlon, the Front Secretary of Guerilla Front 2 of the Southern Mindanao Regional Committee (SMRC) and Crispolo Arbitrario alias Calvin, member of the Special Operations Group (SOG) of Sub-Regional Committee 2 (SRC 2) of SMRC.
The duo were arrested by virtue of Warrant of Arrests for murder with Criminal Case Numbers 7925 and 6320 respectively, filed at Regional Trial Court Branch 3, Nabunturan, Compostela Valley.
Arbitrario is the mastermind of the NPA’S atrocities in the areas of Maco, Mabini and Pantukan while Crispolo was involved in the killings in the said areas.
Major General Rafael Valencia, 10th Infantry Division commander, lauded the soldiers and policemen who were involved during the arrest.
“The arrest of these ranking NPAs manifest that the long arm of the law will ultimately catch up with these outlaws to face justice,” he said.
The two arrested NPAs were brought to the CIDG office in Davao Del Norte for documentation and subsequent filing of cases for violation of the election gun ban and illegal possession firearms and explosives.
