From the Mindanao Examiner Blog site (Apr 7): NPA frees cop in Mindanao
Communist rebels have freed a government soldier they captured at a checkpoint
in the southern Philippines, a spokesman said Sunday.
Ka Daniel Ibarra, a
spokesman for the New People’s Army, said Pfc. Mark Anthony Conception, was
handed over to his family in the town of Maco in Compostela Valley province.
Ibarra said the soldier was arrested at an NPA checkpoint on April
3.
“The NPA has safely released Pfc. Mark Anthony G. Conception to his
family, girlfriend and village official in (the village of) Panangan in Maco
town,” Ibarra said without elaborating.
The capture of Conception came
the same day that the NPA released Police Officer 3 Ruben Magno Nojapa, Jr., who
was also arrested on March 18 at a checkpoint in Compostela Valley’s Nabunturan
town.
The National Democratic Front, the political wing of the Communist
Party of the Philippines, has ordered the NPA to free the policeman.
The
NPA has been fighting for decades for the establishment of a Maoist state in the
country.
