Police arrested on Friday a leader of a militant urban poor group who is listed as the number four top most wanted person in Alabel town.
Brig. Gen. Eliseo Tam Rasco, director of the Police Regional Office-12, said suspect Margie Genosas was nabbed by joint operatives around 9:50 a.m. in Barangay Kawas in Alabel, Sarangani.
Genosas, an organizer of the Kalipunan ng Damayang Mahihirap or Kadamay in Sarangani, has standing warrants of arrest for frustrated murder and being an alleged “professional squatter,” in violation of Section 27 of Republic Act 7279 or the Urban Development and Housing Act.
The warrants were issued by Judge Rebecca Dardo-Seredrica of the Regional Trial Court Branch 46 and Judge Ma. Peliza Parido-Dinopol of the Municipal Circuit Trial Court for Alabel-Malungon in Sarangani, respectively.
Rasco said the suspect was arrested in a manhunt operation at her temporary home in Purok 10 of Barangay Kawas, an area identified by the police a “land conflict area” that is being occupied by irregular settlers.
Citing intelligence reports, Rasco said the suspect was allegedly a member of the Guerilla Front 71 of the New People’s Army (NPA), which operated in Sarangani and Davao Occidental provinces, from 2009 to 20016.
He said Genosas reportedly opted to lay low from the NPA but remained an active member of party-list groups, Bayan Muna and Gabriela.
“She is also the leader and organizer of the Kadamay group that was involved in the land conflict in Alabel,” Rasco said in a report.
Rasco said the suspect is currently under the custody of the Alabel police station, pending her transfer to the provincial jail.
