From InterAksyon (Jun 20): Police say ranking Cordillera rebel captured

The Cordillera police said Friday they had arrested a ranking officer of the New People's Army with a P1.8 million bounty on his head.

Superintendent Davy Vicente Limmong, spokesman of the Cordillera regional police office, said Corsio Ganima y Ebeng, alias “Tribal” and “Toy-ob,” 55, was captured in Tabangaoen, Balili, La Trinidad, Benguet Wednesday by a team from the Regional Intelligence Unit, the Intelligence Division of the Mt. Province police, and the local police office.

Ganima, a native of Lacmaan, Besao, Mt. Province, allegedly commanded the Kilusang Larangang Gerilya, the NPA guerrilla front operating on the tri-boundary of Abra, Mt. Province, and Iloco Sur since early this year.

Limmong said Ganima is facing six counts of murder before Judge Artemeo B. Marero of Regional Trial Court Branch 35 in Bontoc and another case for rebellion before Judge Manuel B. Bragado of RTC Branch 35, also in Bontoc.
