Military and police operatives have arrested in a law enforcement operation a ranking New People’s Army (NPA) rebel in Misamis Occidental, officials announced on Thursday.
Brig. Gen. Generoso Ponio, Army’s 1st Infantry Division commander, identified the NPA leader as Jenefer Aguhob, 40, who carries the aliases of "Ace", "Jen", and "Joy".
Ponio said Aguhob was nabbed by law enforcers armed with a warrant of arrest around 12:30 p.m. Wednesday at her residence in Purok 3, Barangay Buenavista, Oroquieta City.
He said Aguhob has a standing warrant of arrest for the crime of murder with no recommended bail issued by the court in Dipolog City, Zamboanga del Norte.
He said Aguhob is the finance and liaison officer of the Sub-Regional Military Area II (Monterosa) and chairperson of Karapatan and Makabayan bloc.
Aguhob, Ponio said, is also a contact of the following Western Mindanao Regional Committee (WMRPC) officers: Ma. Luz Ranan of Guerilla Front Sendong and wife of former Deputy Secretary of the Region, Rommel Salinas; former NPA finance officer Rowena Rosario Delambaca Tabanao; and former NPA logistics officer Leonardo Jacotin. All are now detained.
He said Aguhob was sighted visiting a certain Ka Beto at Ozamiz City Jail and attending his court hearings.
“Our troops, together with our partners from the PNP (Philippine National Police) continuously conduct operations against the communist terrorists to prevent them from instigating hostilities in the communities,” said Lt. Gen. Cirilito Sobejana, Western Mindanao Command (Westmincom) chief.
“With the weakened leadership, I now call on the members of the WMRPC to lay down their arms, return to the folds of the law, and be one with us in our peace-building mechanisms,” Sobejana said.
Aguhob was placed under the custody of Misamis Occidental Provincial Police Office for proper disposition.
Sobejana attributed the arrest of Aguhob to the strong collaboration among officers and men of the Joint Task Force ZamPeLan (Zamboanga Peninsula and Lanao provinces) and the PNP.
“With your selfless service, our people will certainly live peacefully and happily,” he said.
