New People's Army (NPA) communist terrorists must pay for all the atrocities they have committed against the Filipino people, the country's top cop said on Friday.
Philippine National Police (PNP) chief, Gen. Debold Sinas, made this remark following the arrest of Rogelio de Asis alias "Dudz", the alleged leader of the Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya-Caraga) and a member of the Regional White Area Committee under the Regional United Front Committee of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army (CPP-NPA).
De Asis was arrested by police operatives at Purok 2, Barangay Matabao, Buenavista, Agusan Del Norte at around 9 p.m. Thursday.
De Asis was among the suspects in the killing of Zaldy Acidillo Ybañez (Zaldy Martinez Ybañez/Domingo) and Datu Bernandino M. Astudillo, members of the Manobo tribe and former members of the NPA on March 19, 2020 in Sitio Inadan, Barangay Magroyong, San Miguel, Surigao del Sur.
“The victims were dragged from their homes and De Asis brutally stabbed them multiple times with large bladed weapon (sundang) constituting terror and inhumane acts as to discourage other NPA members from leaving the group and from joining the AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines),” Sinas said.
The arrest of de Asis stemmed from warrants of arrest for violations of Section 6 of Republic Act 9851, otherwise known as crimes against international humanitarian law, genocides, and other crimes against humanity, and murder with no bail recommended, both issued by the Tandag City, Surigao del Sur Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 27.
“To communist terrorist groups, immediately cease your terroristic plots because we will continue to hunt you down to protect the Filipino people from your atrocities”, Sinas further said. “The NPA, must comply with their obligations under Republic Act 9851 which outlaws attacks against the civilian population or individual civilians not taking direct part in hostilities.”
The CPP-NPA is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the Philippines.
