Rebel informants to get reward

BACOLOD CITY, Philippines — Those who provided information that led to the arrest of two leaders of the communist movement in Kabankalan, Negros Occidental will get a reward.

Concerned citizens pooled their resources to raise P200,000, Maj. Gen. Jon Aying, 3rd Infantry Division commander, said yesterday.

Louie Antonio Martinez and Aurora Cayon, who are both in charge of the logistics of the New People’s Army in Mindanao, were arrested last week based on warrants for murder, multiple attempted murder, robbery and arson.

Martinez and Cayon reportedly went to Kabankalan to meet with NPA leaders, worried that the communist movement in the province has weakened.
