From the Manila Bulletin (Feb 23): Suspected NPA charged
A suspected communist rebel has been charged today before the Department of Justice (DOJ) after he was caught with a firearm in Rizal today.
The arrested alleged member of the New People’s Army (NPA) has been identified as Marklen Maja, 38, a member of the militant group Kilusang Mayo Uno and son-in-law of National Democratic Front (NDF) consultant Rafael Baylosis.
Maja was subjected to inquest proceedings before the DOJ where a criminal complaint has been filed against him for illegal possession of firearm.
Meanwhile, the prosecutor handling the complaint has declared the case submitted for resolution.
In its complaint, the Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG) said Maja was arrested at around 9:20 a.m. yesterday at a basketball court of Greenland Newtown Subdivision in Barangay Ampid, San Mateo, Rizal.
Joint operatives of the PNP and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) arrested Maja based on an arrest warrant issued by the Cabadbaran City Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 34 in Agusan del Norte over a murder case he is facing.
During Maia’s arrest, a 45 caliber pistol loaded with seven live ammunition was found in his backpack.
