BY GILBERT BAYORAN

A barangay kagawad, who is reportedly a leader of an anti-communist group, was arrested yesterday during a raid at his residence in Calatrava, Negros Occidental, that yielded firearms and assorted ammunition.

Armed with a search warrant issued by Sagay Regional Regional Trial Court Judge Reginald Fuentebella, combined teams of the Negros Occidental Police Public Safety Company, Special Operations Group of NOPPO and the local police swooped down on the house of Kagawad Felipe Rojo in Sitio Taub, Brgy, Dolis, Calatrava.

Senior Inspector Mark Angelo Junco, Calatrava police chief, said the raid at the house of Rojo, who is also a leader of the so-called “Bagulan” anti-communist group, resulted in the confiscation of a homemade shotgun, a .38 caliber revolver, 81 live ammunition of a .30 caliber garand rifle, 14 empty clips of an M-1 garand rifle , 12 brittle clips of an M-60 machine gun, and a bandolier of a garand rifle.moremoremore
