Kalinga PNP neutralizes 8 wanted persons

TABUK CITY, KALINGA – In an intensified drive against criminal elements in the province, local police killed one person wanted by the courts and collared eight others in the last six weeks.

Among the nine was the alleged triggerman in the murder of Indonesian Roman Catholic priest Franciscus Madhu. The police said that Nestor Wailan, farmer and resident of Dugnac, Lubuagan, was killed in Canao, Lubuagan midnight of February 9 when he allegedly shot it out with members of the Regional Mobile Group and the Kalinga Provincial Police Office who were out to serve his warrant of arrest.

Last to be nabbed was Pidi Addum, 47, farmer and resident of Bulo, this city. Wanted by the Regional Trial Court Branch 25 for the crimes of murder and frustrated murder, he was arrested by elements of the Provincial Mobile Group at Battikin Village, Bulanao, this city, on March 10.

The others who were arrested in separate operations during the period were the following: Calsiman Pag-et (attempted parricide), Peter Malinao (robbery), Jerry Diascon (homicide), Benjamin Bannacas (theft of large cattle), Jerry Ambona (theft of large cattle), Gaspar Edduba (robbery and double frustrated murder), and Christopher Dangangao (acts of lasciviousness).

“We are working harder. We are communicating to the criminal elements in Kalinga that sooner or later the long arm of the law will catch up with them. We are giving would-be criminals something to think about,” Senior Supt. Arni Dean Emock who took over as police provincial director last October told the media.

Emock also said that they are negotiating for the surrender of other wanted persons so that they could face trial instead of continuing to be on the run. He also warned wanted persons who are still at large not to resist arrest “because our officers will defend themselves.”

Emock also told would-be criminals to engage in honest and dignified labor instead of thinking of shortcuts.

“If poverty is the cause why they commit crimes, they could work. There is a lot of work to be had in the locality. Labor is dignified for so long as it is legal. If one is industrious, he could earn for his family eliminating the need for him to commit crimes to gain something,” Emock said.

Meanwhile, a policeman from this province was killed and another one was injured when one of the tires of the service vehicle they were riding in burst as they were negotiating the Aragaag Bridge in Asingan, Pangasinan 1 AM of March 12.

Citing initial investigation of the Asingan police, Emock informed the media that SPO1 Ignacio Padilla who was riding at the back of the back to back Toyota Hilux fell from the vehicle and off the bridge when the vehicle swerved after its left rear tire burst.

Emock said that PO1 Rocky Pacao who was also seated at the back of the vehicle also fell but was kept from falling off the bridge by the railings. He was injured, however.

Emock said that the other occupants of the vehicle namely SPO1s George Acob, Odilon Pagudpud and Randell Lacuesta, PO3 Carina Castillo and Theresita Emock, Emock’s wife, were unhurt.

Emock said that group was bound for Camp Bado Dangwa in La Trinidad, Benguet to attend a finance seminar and conference when the accident took place adding that his wife was riding with the group to Baguio City.

Emock said that it took some 30 minutes for the Asingan police to locate the body of Padilla. **By Estanislao Albano Jr., ZZW
