Posted to Kalinaw News (Jan 3, 2022): Civilian tip leads to the apprehension of an NPA rebel in MisOr 



CLAVERIA, MISAMIS ORIENTAL – The joint troops of the 58th Infantry “Dimalulupig” Battalion (58IB), 1001st RMFB10, and Gingoog CPS, captured one New People’s Army (NPA) rebel at Sitio Palapay, Barangay Binakalan, Gingoog City, December 30, 2021.

The successful apprehension of Ridon Cablas Romania, alias Uno, was attributed to the tip-off from a concerned citizen who happens to be a former rebel as well and identified Uno’s presence at Barangay Binakalan, Gingoog City. Authorities from the troops of 58IB coordinated with the PNP and they both acted quickly upon the information.

Alias Uno is a member of Guerilla Front Huawei, Sub-Regional Committee 1, North Central Mindanao Regional Command, 34 years old, and a resident of Sitio Roa-roa, Barangay Umagos, Lagonglong. He also has standing cases of Attempted and Frustrated Murders.

Lt Col Ricky L Canatoy, Commanding Officer of 58IB, expresses gratitude to civilians for their assistance in thwarting potential terroristic or criminal activities by these NPA personalities. He goes on to urge the remaining NPA members to surrender peacefully and return to the folds of the law. “Be afraid of what awaits you if you continue to choose armed conflict.” Return to the folds of the law now and have the opportunity to be with your families or face the full force of the law.”

The said captured NPA member was then handed over to RMFB 10 for proper disposition and filing of cases.
