From the Philippine News Agency (Mar 11): NPA rebels gun down ex-councilor in Sorsogon ambush
New People's Army (NPA) rebels killed in an ambush a former town councilor of Magallanes, Sorsogon, in Barangay Bulala, Magallanes town on Monday morning.
A police report said Gleen Lee, married, businessman and a resident of Barangay Banacud of the same town, was on board his motorcycle at about 11:30 a.m. Monday when four young men armed with M-16 armalite rifle blocked his way and asked him and his companion, Wilfredo Mella, to alight from the vehicle.
As soon as they had alighted, the youthful-looking armed men shot dead Lee and casually walked away after telling Mella that the victim was a suspected military and police asset in the area who had been feeding information on the activities of the communist insurgents.
It has been a practice of the NPA rebels to send young recruits on a test mission, like liquidation of suspected military and police asset, police said.
Mella immediately asked assistance from authorities in the area, who brought the victim’s lifeless body to the Municipal Rural Health Unit for autopsy.
