Nabbed CPP leader common criminal
By J.Lo
“We find as funny and preposterous claim of CPP-NPA-NDF that CPP chairman Baylon Villarico is ‘peace consultant’ and is therefore immune from arrest under Joint Agreement on Safety and Immunity Guarantee (JASIG) signed way back during Fidel Ramos administration,” National Security Council (NSC) spokesman, Assistant Director General Jonathan Malaya, said NSC laughed off claim by Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) that its chairman, who was arrested on Thursday in Quezon City in joint military and police operation, is peace advocate.
“JASIG was terminated by government in 2017…so what immunity under JASIG are they talking about…joint Oslo Communique of 2023 signed under Marcos Jr. administration with NDF did not resurrect JASIG,” he stressed.
Malaya noted that JASIG is as good as dead and NSC wishes to underscore “that this notorious NPA leader was arrested based on warrant of arrest issued by Regional Trial Court of Mauban, Quezon for multiple crimes including extortion, recruiting minors and students to be combatants, violation of Anti-Terrorism Act, rebellion, aside from kidnapping with murder.”
“He is responsible for numerous atrocities against government forces, killing and liquidation of individuals, terrorist attacks on innocent communities, sabotaging government projects and various extortion and money-making activities in Southern Luzon, he also led violent purges within CPP-NPA Southern Tagalog Regional Party Committee in 1980s, where many were executed by his own hands, CPP-NPA-NDF wants him to get away with murder because he’s peace advocate…not so fast…time for him to face court of law and to account for his crimes to Filipino people,” Malaya said.
As these developed soldiers detained 21 members of local terror group after gunfight that also left three terrorists wounded in Barangay Bagolibas, Aleosan town in Cotabato.
The 24 terror group members were in two vehicles, truck and on three motorcycles when intercepted by 34th Infantry Battalion (IB) on their way to Barangay Pagangan, also in Aleosan, to attack their members who were planning to surrender to government.
Maj. Gen. Antonio Nafarrete, Army 6th Infantry Division commander, told reporters that the group surrendered after realizing that they were surrounded by personnel of 34th IB.
Nafarrete added that one of the soldiers, Cpl. Roy Villaber, was wounded during gunfight.
Seized from the group were five M16 rifles, two M14 rifles, fragmentation grenade and components for improvised explosive devices.
