CAUAYAN, Negros Occidental – The Army’s 15th Infantry (Molave Warrior) Battalion intercepted and arrested a High Ranking New People’s Army (NPA) Official in Barangay Camindangan, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental on 22 December 2020.
The 15 IB troopers, together with the Philippine National Police Joint Law Enforcement Security Operations, arrested the 43-year-old Radino Giltendez Villacarillo with aliases Romil G. Villacarillo, Poldo, Rading, Ado, Kanor, Baldo, Tauros, and Yongyong. Giltendez is currently the Regional Committee (RCOM) Secretary of the Second National Urban Center (2NURC), formerly known as Cebu Party Committee, and serves as the Military Hardware Liaison for Komiteng Rehiyon-Negros, Cebu, Bohol, Siquijor (KR-NCBS) Regional Operational Command (ROC) Ordnance Staff. He was also a former Regional Committee Member of Komiteng Rehiyon- Negros, Cebu, Bohol, Siquijor (KR-NCBS); Commanding Officer, Rehiyon Sentro De Grabidad (RSDG) KR-Negros Front; Committee Member of North Negros Front (NNF); and Front Operational Command North Negros Front (FOC NNF).
The following war materiel was recovered from his possession: one (1) caliber 45 automatic pistol; one (1) magazines; two (2) hand grenades; two (2) laptop computers; eight (8) cellular phones; two (2) pocket Wi-Fi; external drive; four (4) USB; and (1) unregistered motorcycle and subversive documents.
Lieutenant Colonel Erwin Cariño, 15IB Commanding Officer, said the arrest of High Ranking NPA is another major setback to the CPP-NPA-NDF terrorists operating in Negros Island.
Lt. Col Cariño said that allegedly, Poldo was among the NPA insiders tasked by the rebel group to spy not only on various personalities in urban areas but also to closely monitor the operations of the Special Partisan Unit (SPARU).”
“He was also tasked to keep in touch with politicians sympathizers with their cause, for him to move freely in different municipalities, district clinics, as well as churches,” Cariño said.
Cariño ensures that the15IB together with the PNP will continuously monitor and look into this type of “modus operandi.”
Meanwhile, Colonel Leonardo Peña, Commander of Army’s 302nd Infantry Brigade, lauded the15IB Troopers and PNP counterparts’ effort and commitment.
“The successful Joint Enhanced Military and Police Operation manifests the strong commitment of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police assigned in Negros,” Peña said.
“With a stronger collaboration, your Army, together with the Philippine National Police, will work hand in hand to protect the Negrenses against the NPA terrorist group,” Peña added.
