A female political guide and medic of the NPA’s Section Committee (SECOM) 27, Divina Canoy, was captured during a joint police-military operation at Brgy Mainit, Nabunturan, Compostela Valley Province at around 9 pm Thursday, May 4.
Police and military operatives conducted the operation during NPA Special Partisan Unit (SPARU) meeting.
“Canoy was left behind by her comrades who scampered when the soldiers and police arrived at their meeting place,” the 10th Infantry Division of the Philippine Army said.
In Canoy’s possession when she was apprehended are two M16 Armalite Rifles, an M4 Rifle, a Carbine Rifle, an improvised explosive device (IED), 30 kgs of cut 10mm round bars used as IED shrapnels, electrical wires and several subversive documents.
She was immediately turned-over to Nabunturan Police Station for filing of appropriate charges, 10ID said.
“The arrest and recovery of NPA war materiel show that ultimately the long arms of the law will catch up with these communist terrorists,” 10ID commander Major General Rafael Valencia said.
