Basahin ang artikulong ito sa Pilipino

An NPA unit arrested three elements of the �Rebolusyonaryong Hukbong Bayan� or RHB on the night of June 11 in Sitio Kabukiran, Barangay Kalaylayan, Abucay, Bataan. Arrested were Dony Valencia alias Relly, 24, of Barangay Wawa; Edwin Egay alias Lester, 19, of Barangay Gabon; and Dindo Diaz, 23, of Barangay Salian. Seized from them were a .45, a 9 mm, a .38 and two cellphones.

The comrades treated the three captives well while they were under investigation and trial. They were also taken out of harm�s way when the NPA custodial unit was involved in an encounter on June 14.

After hearing the cases filed against them, the court determined that there was insufficient basis to punish Egay and Diaz. The two were freed and entrusted in the care of Egay�s father. Valencia, however, was meted the death sentence after the court confirmed his involvement in six cases of murder.

Among those he had killed were Jimmy Sanggalang of Wawa, Abucay and Anu of Mabatang, Abucay. The comrades immediately informed his parents of the court�s decision and where his body could be recovered. (From Himagsik, revolutionary paper of Central Luzon)
