Lt. Col. Alvin V.
Luzon, commander of the Matapat Battalion, identified the suspect as Annabelle
Quijano, allegedly a member of the Natarang Gerilya (Front Committee) KARA,
which operates in the towns of Zamboanga del Sur.
According to Luzon,
Quijano has warrants of arrest for murder, theft, attempted murder, malicious
mischief, and frustrated homicide.
Luzon added that
Quijano was apprehended after she was rushed to the emergency room of the
Margosatubig Regional Hospital because of profuse bleeding due to miscarriage.
A tipster alerted
authorities to Quijano's presence in the hospital.
Luzon said they
would ensure Quijano's safety and respect her rights. But she would still need
to face the charges against her once she has recovered.
Brig. Gen. Gerardo
F. Barrientos Jr., commander of the 1st Infantry (Tabak) Division, said that
the apprehension of Quijano is another big blow to the NPA in Zamboanga del
Sur. - 9News Online,
