MANILA, Philippines — Combined forces of the military and police arrested on Monday, September 9, an alleged communist rebel said to be part of the team that ambushed the mother of Sen Teofisto Guingona III last summer.
“Joel Yagao was cornered at his safe house by the authorities who served the warrants of arrest for double and multiple frustrated murder,” according to a statement sent by Capt Alberto Caber, public information officer of the military’s Eastern Mindanao Command.
Former Gingoog Mayor Ruthie Guingona was severely wounded when her convoy was ambushed in Poblacion Villanueva, Misamis Oriental, last April. Two of her police escorts were killed.

Yagao, who carries the alias Jhong, was supposedly identified by a rebel returnee as the liaison officer of New People’s Army’s Guerilla 4B of the North Central Mindanao Committee.
It’s the same group that admitted responsibility for the deadly ambush. — Carmela Fonbuena/Rappler.com
