The suspect was apprehended on an arrest warrant dated February 20, 2023 a day after he surrendered to the military in Barangay Bato on Sunday, March 17.

Police Lt. Hannah Banquil, deputy chief of Sagay City Police Station, said that the 41-year-old
intelligence officer and vice squad leader of the SDG Platoon of the dismantled Northern Negros Front (NNF-D) of the Komiteng Rehiyon Negros Cebu Bohol Siquijor (KRNCBS) had a warrant for robbery with violence against or intimidation of persons.


Bail was set at P100,000 by Presiding Judge Arville Guyod Delgado in San Carlos City, Negros Occidental.

Banquil said the case stemmed from an incident in Calatrava, Negros Occidental. The suspect is under the custody of the Sagay police.

He was reportedly involved in an encounter with the police in Barangay Minapasuk, Calatrava last year, and was the alleged closest cohort of Roger Fabillar, alias Arnel Tapang, who has a bounty of P1 million for his arrest over a series of killings in the town.
