Communist rebels have confirmed raiding and seizing firearms from the home of Carmen, Agusan del Norte Mayor Ramon Calo and also admitted killing what they described as intelligence officers and assets in the Bicol region.
The Western Agusan Norte-Agusan Sur Sub Regional Command of the New People’s Army said it seized a Baby Armalite, two shotguns, a 9mm pistol, an Ingram machine pistol, ammunition, a laptop computer and two cameras from Calo’s home during the nighttime raid on June 8.
Calo was not at home during the raid, which the rebels said was carried out without a shot fired.
Meanwhile, in the Bicol region, the NPA’s Sorsogon Provincial Operations Command owned responsibility for the separate killings of Army Sergeant Rene Madrona in Barangay Poctol, Bulusan on June 10, and of Police Officer Christopher Escreza in Barcelona town the next day.
The rebels said Madrona and Escreza ran intelligence networks in the two towns.
In Camarines Norte, on the other hand, the NPA said they killed Ruel Brogada, an alleged civilian asset of the Army’s 42nd Infantry Battalion, and militiaman Jimboy Tadeo, both of Barangay Payatan in Goa town.
Aside from acting as a military guide and informer, the rebels accused Brogada of land grabbing. Tadeo, on the other hand, was accused of acting as a guide in a military operation during which civilians were allegedly abused.
