The New People’s Army (NPA)-Central Negros on September 24 punished a CAFGU trooper responsible for the killings of civilians in Guihulngan City. The NPA’s partisan operation targeted Joselito Raboy, an operative during many combat operations of the 62nd IB and police units.

One of Raboy’s biggest crime was his role in the massacre of the Jacolbes last July 26 in Guihulngan City, where then 5-month-old pregnant Cristina Jacolbe, her 16-year-old daugher Everly Kee and a family friend Rodan Montero were killed. Raboy was also with military troops who indiscriminately fired at and attempted to kill Boyer Cesar and Marjun Mahinay in July and August. Armed, Raboy went house to house along with two other CAFGU members, threatening and terrorizing residents in a village.

“The punishment… serves as a warning to all those working with the military against the movement, especially those who capitulated and now serve as mercenaries of the fascist AFP, PNP and NTF-ELCAC, causing the destruction of livelihood and lives and resulting in blood debt to the people of Central Negros,” said NPA-Central Negros spokesman JB Regalado. The NPA in the island is determined to search for ways to mete out punishment and attain justice for the victims of state fascism, he added.
