Rebel leader in Masbate falls

MANILA, Philippines – A suspected high ranking leader of the New People’s Army was arrested early today in Masbate province.

In a text message, Maj. Harold Cabunoc, spokesman of the Army’s 9th Infantry Division, said a joint police and military operatives collared Vivian Herrero, aka Ka Vivian, around 5:20 a.m.

Armed with arrest warrants for murder and rebellion, government forces net Herrero in an alleged rebel’s safe house in the village of Mabini in Uson town.

The military official cited that Herrero was one of the “most wanted individuals” in Masbate, citing the reward money for her arrest at P150,000.

The suspect is now under the custody of the provincial police office in Masbate. (report from Jun Pasaylo, Philstar.com)
