Ranking rebel leader falls in Agusan del Sur

Posted on November 4, 2013

BUTUAN CITY, (PNA) — Joint police operatives nabbed a ranking rebel commander during the observance of “All Soul’s Day” in Bayugan City, a southern city of Region 13.

Reports from Agusan del Sur Police Provincial Office reaching the police regional headquarters here Sunday said arrested was Archie Salvan alias “Jack/Brix” and “Kumander Kuyos,” a suspected staff member of the Northeastern Mindanao Regional Committee (NEMRC) of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army, around 4:00 p.m. Saturday at his residence in Purok 4B, Barangay Bucac in Bayugan City, Agusan del Sur.

He was arrested by operatives from the Regional Intelligence Unit 13, Regional Public Safety Battalion 13, Regional Intelligence Division 13 and Bayugan City Police Station.

Salvan, 33, was arrested by the virtue of an arrest warrant issued by Zenaida P. Placer, executive judge of RTC 7, Bayugan City for the crimes of murder and robbery with double homicide under Criminal Cases No. 2174 and 2252, both cases without bail.

Salvan was the primary suspect in an ambush which took place in Barangay Berseba, Bayugan City which killed an army trooper on October 2003, and the attack on the Bayugan City Police Station on June 2004 where two police officers were also killed.

The suspect was turned over to the issuing court for proper disposition.
