NPA admits killing mayoralty bet’s aide

From the Sun Star-Bacolod (May 4): NPA admits killing mayoralty bet’s aide

THE Leonardo Panaligan Command of the New People’s Army (NPA) in Central Negros has claimed to be behind the killing of the political campaigner of Moises Padilla mayoral bet Magdaleno Peña.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, May 3, Ka An Jacinto said that Magdaleno “Nonong” Grande was killed because of the alleged human rights violations he committed against civilians in the area.

“He was asked to explain his side but he never showed up, and instead sent military personnel to arrest our members who were supposed to talk to him,” Jacinto said.

Grande was gunned down outside a cockpit in Sitio Coyaoyao, Barangay Inolingan, Moises Padilla, on Sunday, May 1.

He was with his brother Agustin, who is running for councilor, when he was shot by an unidentified gunman at around 4:30 p.m.

The NPA added that Grande was spying on them and was responsible for harassment and physical abuse of some farmer.

Grande was also accused of extortion, the NPA added.
