From GMA News (Feb 11): 2 ranking NPA members nabbed in Baguio City
Police arrested three suspected members of the New People's Army (NPA) responsible for the burning of two mining trucks in Itogon, Benguet last Thursday.
The Benguet Police Provincial Office (PPO) identified the three suspected NPA members as Sarah Abellon, Promencio Cortez and Marciano Sagun.
Police arrested the suspects at the Tiptop transient house in Baguio City.
The Benguet PPO said Abellon is a secretary of the NPA's Sub-Regional Military Area Command (SMAC) while Cortez has a P4.8 million reward on his head.
The provincial police said complaints of robbery, arson and illegal possession of ammunition have been filed against the three suspects in connection with the torching of two trucks of the Philex Mining Corp. in Itogon.
A group of rebels stopped and torched the truck loaded with 20 tons of copper concentrate at a "rebel checkpoint" in Itogon town.
The Benguet PPO said the rebels' initial plan was to raid the mining site of Philex.
It said several gadgets, assorted ammunition and P850,000 cash were seized from the three suspected rebels.
