A Joint team of the Philippine Army's 11th Infantry Battalion and the Philippine National Police in Guinhulngan City, Negros Oriental on June 15 recovered subversive documents and a 38 caliber handgun from the house of a militant leader in Barangay Linantuyan, Guinhulngan.
PNP Provincial Director PSSUPT Augusto Marquez Jr. confirmed the report, adding that the subject of the search warrant, Lourdes Baloy, was not around during the raid but was also witnessed by Barangay Officials of linantuyan.
Guinhulngan Judge Kennedy Duka had issued the warrant on June 16 against Baloy, a leader of the peasant-farmers' group Kaugnmaon, and who is also the subject of several complaints from Linantuyan residents who alleged that she was collecting from them revolutionary taxes for the Communist Party of the Philippines' New People's Army.
Guinhulngan City has been tagged by the PNP and the military as a hotbed of insurgency, being a strategic location for the regional NPA guerilla front in Northern Negros.
This is the deceptive tactic of the NPAs. They act as farmers by day and an NPA fighter by night. When an NPA is killed in a legitimate encounter, their propagandists will exploit the situation and will declare the dead NPA as a farmer to gain the sympathy of the populace. Poor soldiers and PNP, they are the ones who always took the blame...
