Military authorities arrested a suspected ranking female officer of the communist New Peoples’ Army (NPA) at an Army checkpoint in Kidapawan City Wednesday.
Lt. Col. Rhodjun Rosales, the commander of the Army’s 39th Infantry Battalion, identified the suspect as Mindaley Satentes - Genotiva, 54, alias “Ka Karla,” the alleged head of the NPA's urban organizing committee in Central Mindanao.
In a radio interview Thursday, Rosales said Genotiva's bag "contained subversive documents and explosives."
He said Genotiva has standing warrants of arrest for frustrated murder and extortion.
“The NPA leader is known among big business leaders in the province because she also personally collects extortion money from business owners,” Rosales said.
The NPA, the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines, is listed as a terror organization by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the Philippines.
Meanwhile, a member of Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) who was the subject of law enforcement operation, had eluded arrest in Magpet, North Cotabato.
Apostol Manib, 40, of Sitio Waterfalls, Bongolanon, Magpet, fled his home when government forces, composed of Magpet police personnel and elements of the Army’s 72nd IB, arrived in the village past 3 a.m. Thursday.
“The police and soldiers were to serve a search warrant against Manib but he fled,” Capt. Rolando Dillera, the chief of the Magpet police office, said in a separate interview.
Dillera said Manib ran deep into the forest as the soldiers arrived in Sitio Waterfalls.
Police said village residents and neighbors of Manib have been complaining of his arrogance and the frequent presence of heavily armed men in the barangay.
Dillera said the village has passed a resolution declaring Manib and his men “persona non grata” but he remained in the village and continued to sow fear.
After validating the report, Dillera said the police secured a search warrant from a local court against Manib.
A search in Manib’s home resulted in the seizure of a 12-gauge shotgun, a .38 caliber revolver, and a hand grenade.
