BACOLOD City – An alleged liason officer of the New People’s Army (NPA) was arrested at Manggahan Dos, Barangay Merville, Parañaque City on Wednesday.

Police identified the suspect as Roger Lumanog, 36, of Camindangan, Sipalay City, and presently residing in Parañaque City.

Joint operatives of the Intelligence Division of the Southern Police District led by Police Major Henrix Bancoleta, in coordination with the Sipalay City Police Station led by Police Lieutenant Colonel Necerato Sabando Jr., served the arrest warrant for murder against Lumanog.

The arrest warrant was issued by Judge Rodney Magbanua of Regional Trial Court Branch 61 in Kabankalan City.

He will be transferred to the province.
