Four abducted by NPA, including brgy. captain

From the Mindanao Times (Feb 13): Four abducted by NPA, including brgy. captain

A BARANGAY official and his wife, along with two others, were allegedly kidnapped by the New People’s Army in two separate incidents on Feb. 5 and 8.

Based on the report of 25th Infantry Battalion, Barangay Pangyan chief Rene Carlos and wife Maribeth Carlos were abducted along the road in Trento, Agusan del Sur on Feb. 5. Their companions were released while the couple was hogtied.
 
There’s no news yet of the demand from the armed men on the couple’s abduction.

Meanwhile, in a separate report from 71st Infantry Battalion, Jun-jun Custodio and his son, Marjun, were allegedly abducted by armed men, led by alias Mokloy who is reportedly a team leader of NPA’s Milisya ng Bayan, in Barangay Malamudao, Maco, Compostela Valley on Feb. 8.
 
Brig. Gen Macairog Alberto, 1001st Infantry Brigade commander, said they believe the NPA kidnaps innocent civilians to use them as human shields.

Meanwhile, Maj.Gen Rafael Valencia, the division commander, urged the NPA to spare civilians in their activities.

“The NPA is being used by their communist leaders as instruments of their propaganda to the extent of using them to sow fear among the innocent civilians,” he said.
