TAGBILARAN CITY -- A suspected former leader of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) in Central Visayas was shot dead by a still unidentified gunman Thursday night, police said.

The victim was identified as Ronald Sendrijas who was gunned down 9:20 p.m. while buying medicine from a pharmacy along Gallares Street, Tagbilaran City.

Senior Police Officer 4 David Niluag of the Tagbilaran City Police said Sendrijas visited his sister, Aileen Pasagad, who had just given birth at the Ramiro Hospital.

Two assailants riding on a motorcycle arrived at the vicinity and the back-rider disembarked from the vehicle, approached Sendrijas and shot him twice, Niluag said.

Sendrijas, who turned 35 on Thursday, was shot in the back of his head with a 9-millimeter pistol, he added. The attackers then rode away from the crime scene towards and unknown direction, Niluag said.

Pasagad, in an interview on Friday, said that her brother had been receiving death threats in the past several months.

She said her brother claimed he was under surveillance. Pasagad also said that a few hours before her brother was murdered, Sendrijas allegedly received a call through his cell phone from one of those making the death threats.

Pasagad said her brother showed her one text message, which said he would be killed on his birthday but did not identify the persons behind the death threats.

Senior Superintendent Edgardo Ingking, Bohol police provincial director said, in a separate interview, that the PNP would be checking on the status of Sendrijas' several cases still pending in the courts.

"These cases were related to his activities as an active member of the CPP-NPA," Ingking said.

The military and police operatives arrested Sendrijas (also known as “Ka Aram” and “Foreigner”) in the mountain village of Gutlang in Argao town, Cebu in May 2004 but was released after posting bail in August 2006.

Sendrijas was captured with another suspected NPA commander, Jigger Geverola, now detained at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC).

Sendrijas, a native of San Jose, Inabanga, Bohol, had been charged with rebellion, murder, multiple murder, multiple frustrated murder and robbery in band, Ingking said.

He was linked to an NPA raid on the 702nd Provincial Mobile Group based in Sta. Fe, Danao, Bohol on Dec. 14, 1999 when two soldiers were killed while the camp commander was wounded. The troops' firearms and equipment were carted away from the camp, Ingking said.

Sendrijas has a pending case for rebellion before the Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 52 in Talibon, Bohol and robbery with serious physical injuries before RTC Branch 25 in Danao City, Cebu, Ingking said.

Ingking said that Sendrijas was also linked to several burnings of passenger buses and "violent incidents" in Cebu.

Sendrijas used to be the secretary of the Central Visayas Regional Party
Committee (CVRPC), he said.

However, after his release from the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in 2006, Sendrijas had been inactive with the underground movement and later campaigned for his relatives who ran during the May 2007 elections, Ingking added.
