THE Philippine National Police will continue to press police operations to account for members of the communist New People’s Army and its affiliates who are the subject of Warrants of Arrest issued by judicial authorities for crimes against the people.
PNP Chief, Police General Dionardo B Carlos said PNP’s legal offensive action against the CPP-NPA will continue with renewed vigor, particularly against key personalities who are wanted by the law to stand trial for their crime before the justice system.
This developed as Western Visayas police arrested Elmer FORRO Sr., 52, Secretary-General of Bayan Muna Panay, at 4:10 AM today in Sitio Bangko, Barangay Lutac, Cabatuan, Iloilo.
Forro is the subject of Warrants of Arrest issued by Hon. Gemalyn Faunillo-Tarol, Presiding Judge of RTC Branch 76 of Janiuay, Iloilo in Criminal Case No. 21-0908 for Attempted Murder and Criminal Case No. 21-0909 for the crime of Murder with no bail recommended.
“The CPP-NPA continues to wallow in irrelevance on the 53rd year of its campaign of terror and violence that has only made life more miserable for poor people in the countryside,” Carlos said.
“The CPP-NPA has nothing to celebrate because its anniversary serves only as a grim reminder of the thousands of Filipino lives lost over the past five decades of the underground movement’s murderous history,” the Chief PNP said.
