From the Philippine News Agency (Jun 3): Three NPA rebels arrested in Butuan City for murder, frustrated murder raps

Three suspected rebels of the New People’s Army (NPA) with pending warrants of arrest involving frustrated murder and murder were collared in a raid in a remote village in Butuan City Friday morning.

Capt. Patrick Martinez, the spokesperson of the army’s 4th Infantry Division, said that joint law enforcer operatives also recovered high powered firearms, explosive devices, and subversive documents of high intelligence value during the surprise raid in Lamusig, an outskirt community in the village of Tungao in Butuan City around 5 a.m. Friday.

Martinez identified the suspects as Roldan Bunggolto, alleged head of the NPA’s Militia Ng Bayan; Danilo Acania, Deputy Secretary, and Jake Borja, all facing frustrated murder and murder cases in a local court in Agusan Del Norte.

Recovered from the suspects were two M16 rifles, two sniper rifles, one AK 47 rifle, two caliber 45, two caliber 38, one caliber 22 pistol, two hand grenades, one improvised explosive device with detonating cord and blasting caps and subversive documents.

Insp. Andrev G. Bautista and Insp. Julius Caesar Alamani, the two police investigators who led the police team, said that a case of illegal possession of explosive, firearms and ammunition would also be filed against the suspects.

Martinez said that the three suspects were detained at the Butuan City Jail.
