TOLOSA, LEYTE – Live-in partners and terrorist NPA leaders Alma GABIN aka Ela /Joy and Alden DAGOHOY aka Rica were arrested in Barangay Burak, Tolosa, Leyte yesterday evening, June 8, 2020, during the Law Enforcement Operation conducted by combined forces of 802nd Infantry Brigade, Leyte Provincial Police Office, Tacloban City Police Office, and Tolosa Municipal Police Office.
Alma GABIN, 34-year old native of Tolosa, Leyte, was the former Education Staff (ED) of SRC Emporium while Alden DAGOHOY, 33-year old resident of Barangay Happy Valley, San Isidro, Northern Samar, is the Squad Leader of the Abe Squad, Buhawi Platoon of SRC Emporium – an NPA unit operating in Northern Samar. The couple were arrested by virtue of two (2) Warrants of Arrest (WOA) issued by Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 21 in Laoang, Northern Samar: CCN 4403 for murder and CCN 4702 for frustrated murder. Also captured from their possession were: one (1) Cal.45 pistol; three (3) live ammunition; and, subversive documents.
Initial information gathered reveal that Alma Gabin is projected to occupy one of the functional staffs of the Regional White Area Committee of the Eastern Visayas Regional Party Committee of the Communist Terrorist Group based in Tacloban City and is currently undergoing training prior to posting. Her supposed promotion is a recognition of her experience and contribution as the former Secretary of the Northern Samar Provincial White Area Committee – the committee that is responsible for providing logistical, financial and human resources to the NPA Terrorist Organizations operating in the said province.
Meanwhile, Alden DAGOHOY has participated in the two (2) ambush incidents and an attack against the government forces in Northern Samar sometime in 2013 and 2018. During those incidents, a government soldier paid the ultimate price of protecting our country’s freedom and democracy.
802nd Infantry Brigade Commander Col Oliveros considers their arrest as a victory of the government’s anti-terrorism drive. Nevertheless, he reiterates his sincere call for other NPA members to lay down their arms, abandon their deceptive and anti-people activities, and avail of the government’s sincere peace and reconciliation offer through the Enhanced-Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) before they suffer the fate of the recently arrested NPA Terrorist leaders.
Col Oliveros further extends the Brigade’s appreciation to the residents of Tolosa, Leyte, who are already fed-up with the terrorist’s exploitation scheme, for their support by way of providing real-time information leading to the arrest of the NPA leaders. Furthermore, he assured that all Army units in Biliran, Leyte, and Southern Leyte will unceasingly perform to the best of their abilities in order to serve and protect the people from the NPA Terrorist’s continuous threat and intimidation even during this unwanted situation that the whole country is experiencing due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
As of this posting, the two (2) NPA leaders are placed under the custody of Tolosa Municipal Police Station for preliminary investigation and documentation.
