From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 23): PNP files rap vs. son-in-law of NDFP consultant
The Philippine National Police Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) has filed charges before the Department of Justice against Marklen Maojo Maga, son-in-law of National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) consultant Rafael Baylosis, who was arrested during operations in Rizal Thursday.
Maga, organizer of militant group Kilusang Mayo Uno, was brought to the DOJ before Senior Assistant State Prosecutor Clarisa V. Kuong for inquest proceedings in connection with the complaint for illegal possession of firearms lodged against him on Friday.
Assisted by a public attorney, the 38-year-old militant leader opted not to answer the complaint of the CIDG for violation of Republic Act No. 10591 or the Comprehensive Law On Firearms and Ammunition.
The investigating prosecutor then submitted the case for resolution.
Maga, who was nabbed at Barangay Ampid in San Mateo, Rizal, is allegedly a member of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army's National Organizing Division.
Maga's apprehension was based on an arrest warrant issued by Judge Cesar P. Bordalba of the 10th Judicial Region in Cabadbaran City, Agusan del Sur for the crime of murder.
Seized from his possession were a .45-caliber pistol, a magazine containing seven rounds of ammunition, and a wallet containing assorted ID cards.
All the items were contained in an orange backpack, reports added.

The Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU-May One Movement) is a Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP)-affiliated labor federation while the National Democratic Front is the clandestine political wing of the CPP. This article clearly highlights the linkage between the underground/clandestine CPP/NDF and its above ground/legal front groups.d
