CANLAON CLASH
IALAG files charges
vs. NPA members
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW
The Provincial Inter-Agency Legal Assistance Group filed Tuesday charges of illegal possession of a firearm, explosives and ammunition against suspected members of the communist New People’s Army following an encounter with government troops Sunday evening in Canlaon City, Negros Oriental.
Killed during the clash were Beverly Pableo alias Merly, 47, married, and Felix Ogang Remobata, alias Rikrik, 19, single, of Sitio Iliranan, Barangay Codcod in San Carlos, Negros Occidental.
Provincial police director and PIALAG head, Sr. Supt. Augusto Marquez Jr., said he has formed a task force to investigate the circumstances behind the encounter which left two suspected NPA rebels dead, three others wounded and another captured.
| NegOr coastal highway Rep. George Arnaiz (Neg.Or, 2nd District) has assured that he will source funds for the Department of Public Works and Highways in Negros Oriental to rehabilitate and improve a long stretch of the coastal national highway in his district. This developed after a large portion of the road along Lalaan in San Jose town had collapsed and left a big gaping hole caused by unusually big waves from the tail end of a cold front about two weeks ago. Arnaiz said engineering teams from the DPWH second district had worked overtime to repair the damage as the hole, measuring about three meters in diameter and about five feet deep, posed a great danger to the public and motor vehicles. |
| Notorious robber nabbed The police arrested late Tuesday a suspect in the series of robbery/hold-up cases in Dumaguete City and nearby towns of Negros Oriental. The suspect, Danilo Celestial alias Enteng, 26, married, of of the neighboring town of Bacong, was nabbed at his rented house in Purok Santan, Dumaguete, after surveillance by police intelligence operatives. Recovered from the suspect were a homemade .38 caliber snub-nose revolver with four rounds of ammunition, a marijuana joint, a small box containing marijuana seeds and leaves, several cellphones, and ladies’ wallets. |
