CAMP AGUINALDO, Quezon City –
Joint operatives from the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and
Philippine National Police (PNP) arrested yesterday a ranking New
People’s Army (NPA) leader in Iloilo City.
Eduardo Almores Esteban with aliases
‘Bonnie’, ‘Benny’ and ‘Pilo’ was arrested early morning yesterday in
Brgy. Buntala, Jaro, Iloilo City by virtue of a warrant of arrest for
murder issued by Regional Trial Court Branch 2, Bangued, Abra.
His arrest will pose a great blow to the
CPP-NPA whose leadership has been successively arrested after the
capture of the Tiamzon couple last March.
The ranking NPA leader reportedly owns
and supervises several businesses in the city while his comrades are
still in the mountains living a life full of hardships, and being misled
to the violent path.
AFP Chief of Staff General Gregorio Pio P. Catapang Jr. congratulated Brig. Gen. Arnold Quiapo of the Philippine Army’s 301st
Brigade, who supervised the serving of the arrest warrant; and, the
operatives of AFP Intelligence Service and PNP who painstakingly pursued
the leads for months leading to the arrest.
The operation is in line with General
Catapang’s instruction to finish-off insurgency and claim the peace in
rural communities to achieve progress and prosperity.
The arrested NPA leader is now on the way to Bangued, Abra to face charges.
