A report reaching Camp Aguinaldo identified the slain suspects as Jelan Pinakilid alias “Baking” or “Matrix,” alleged secretary of the NPA’s Guerilla Front 4A; and Darling Pinakilid, alleged medical officer of the Squad 3, Platoon Sagay of the North Central Mindanao Regional Committee (NCRMC).
According to the report, operatives of the 402nd Infantry Brigade were conducting an intelligence operation in Brgy. Odiongan last Friday, Feb. 18, when they encountered around five suspected rebels.
Brig. Gen. Adonis Ariel Orio, commander of the 402nd Infantry Brigade, said they received a tip from an informant that the suspects were extorting residents and imposing “permit to campaign” and “permit to win” among candidates of the local elections in the area.
The military said that a brief firefight occurred between the suspects and the operating troops which led to the death of the Pinakilid couple.

Jelan, according to the military, was “one of the most wanted and notorious” NPA personalities in Calabarzon (Region 4A) as he was facing multiple warrants of arrest for murder, frustrated murder, and rebellion.
After the encounter, a caliber .45 pistol, various ammunition, a hand grenade, and personal belongings were seized from the slain suspects, the military said.
“While we extend our sympathies to the families of those killed, let this be, once again, a visible reminder that CPP [Communist Party of the Philippines] – NPA’s ideology is no longer fighting for the rights of the people,” Orio said.
“Instead, it promotes injustice and terror that bring sufferings to our community,” he added.
