Negros Occidental Provincial Police Officer-in-charge Senior Supt. Milko Lirazan yesterday ordered the arrest of the members of the two rival clans in E.B. Magalona, who have arrest warrants issued against them to finally end their long-time family feud.

On Saturday, Lauro Delgado Jr., “alias Onyot”, of Brgy. Alicante, E.B. Magalona, son of a former Kagawad in Brgy. Canlunsong in the town, died in a shoot-out incident at the K’mas Pension house in Bacolod City.

He was rushed to the Pablo O. Torre Memorial Hospital with 38 gunshot wounds and was declared dead on arrival.

Four members of a family arrested and charged for illegal possession and sale of prohibited drugs in Victorias City, Negros Occidental, will soon have a reunion in jail.

This was after Annabelle de Asis, her son, Ian, and 17-year-old daughter, were arrested during a buy-bust operation Monday in Victorias City, Negros Occidental.

De Asis and her husband, Joel, were arrested in July for a similar violation. Their son, Joma, was also arrested in an anti-narcotics operation, police records show.
