Press Release: BICOL RED FIGHTERS ABORT CPP ANNIVERSARY PLANS
PNP Chief Police General Debold Sinas confirmed reports that “The local communist movement and its armed component in the Bicol Region aborted the planned regional celebration of the Communist Party anniversary over the weekend due to a series of tactical setbacks and defections within the ranks of red fighters.”
The PNP Chief said that as per Bicol Region PNP Director, Police Brig Gen Bartolome Bustamante, the Bicol Regional Party Committee (BRPC), at the last minute, aborted the celebration of 52nd CPP Anniversary in Cawayan, Masbate.
Sinas earlier noted the passive stance of the CPP-NPA that strongly supports the overall assessment that the movement has been substantially weakened because of the sustained and intensified government efforts to end local communist armed conflict that resulted to significant losses of key leaders, seasoned fighters and mass-base supporters.
A series of incidents preceding the December 26 planned celebration in Masbate was precipitated by the death of a ranking finance officer of the movement during a police operation last December 23.
ARJAN TORRES alias “Jan-Jan”, 29, of Brgy. Cawayan Interior, Masbate City died in an encounter with police officers who were sent by the Court to serve three Warrants of Arrest against him.
Torres, identified in police records as P4 finance officer and “revolutionary tax” collector of Larangan 1, is respondent in a criminal case for Murder filed before the sala of Hon. Jose Ronald M Bersales of RTC Branch 47, Masbate City; and Attempted Murder filed before the sala of Hon. Teofilo B. Tambago of RTC Branch 46, Masbate City.
Following Torres’ death, the Vice Commanding Officer of Larangan 1 of BRPC, Gil Pascua alias Ka Ronald surrendered to authorities along with three followers, Richan Labustro y Bartolay, Alvin Labustro Laila, and Ricky Barrun Canali, all full-time members of Larangan 1 of KSP2, L1, KP4, BRPC.
Bustamante said Pascua and his followers are now serving a guides in manhunt operations against the notorious Eleazar Ontog alias 'Ka Randy', team leader of Squad 2 Platoon, L1 Komprob4 of BRPC.
