By Tonette Orejas, January 26, 2018

Tesorio was reportedly the head of the NPA northeastern Luzon regional command,
while Raza was the head of the Danilo Ben command of the NPA’s northern front.

Murder, rebellion

The warrants stemmed from cases of murder, frustrated murder, multiple murder and
rebellion filed against Tesorio and Raza.

Police reported recovering two guns, two hand grenades, a laptop and antigovernment
documents from the two men.

Police said Caroy faced charges for harboring criminals.

Chief Supt. Amador Corpus, Central Luzon police director, said the operation was a
result of “concerted operations and diligent efforts of the police and the military to arrest
all lawless elements in the region.”

The Armed Forces’ Northern Luzon Command (Nolcom) said in a separate report that
the NPA had stepped up attacks.

On Jan. 23, Nolcom tagged the NPA to be behind the killing of Johnny Adaol, a retired
policeman, at Sitio Luyucan in Tabuk City, Kalinga province.

Kalinga clash

On the same day, a clash took place in Pinukpuk town, also in Kalinga, where two
soldiers were killed and two others wounded.
