CAMP MELCHOR F. DELA CRUZ, Isabela – Troops from the 5th Infantry Division and police apprehended a high-ranking New People’s Army leader in Bacarra, Ilocos Norte on Monday, Oct. 21.
He was executive committee member, head of regional propaganda, and former secretary of the Kilusang Larangang Guerilla-Marco under the Ilocos-Cordillera Regional Committee and faces murder and attempted murder cases before the regional trial courts in Ifugao and Mountain Province. Señires said Naogsan’s arrest followed the recent capture of three senior members of the ICRC in Conner, Apayao province and proof of the continuous dismantling of the leadership structure of the NPA in Northern Luzon.
“The invaluable information provided by residents was crucial in tracking Naogsan and ensuring his arrest. This demonstrates the growing partnership between the military and the community and the diminishing support for the communist insurgents due to the improved services in Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Conflict-Affected Areas .”
