The underground rebel group in Camarines Sur denies any involvement over the ambush and wounding of provincial police deputy director P/S Romeo Pillonar and the killing of civilian Domingo Dancalan.
Superintendent Pillonar was in a vehicle with several other persons when they were waylaid Sunday night of August 2 along the highway in Barangay Buluang, Bato, Camarines Sur.
Early reports blamed the New People’s Army (NPA) rebels of the ambush.
“We are very strict on our armed units not to initiate military actions on legitimate targets where there are civilians nearby,” said Maria Roja Banua, in a statement posted Tuesday at the internet.
Banua is the spokesperson of National Democratic Front- Bicol (NDF-Bicol).
Banua pointed to the Obet Concepcion gang of Libon, Albay as the group behind the Bato ambush.
The Obet Concepcion group is allegedly a criminal syndicate involved in hold-ups, robberies, and gun-for-hire contracts in the region.
Banua said the Concepcion group was involved in the killing of Engineer Morales in Malinao, Albay, and was also hired by the Armed Forces to assassinate activists and rebel sympathizers.
“The AFP was forced to deny in public the Concepcion gang when it was linked over the killing of Morales,” said Banua, citing investigation findings from Eduardo Olbara Command, the NPA group in Camarines Sur.
Meanwhile, Superintendent Pillonar was recuperating from wounds in a Naga hospital, while Dancalan was brought by relatives in Barangay Santiago, Bato.
