A party-list lawmaker on Friday slammed the arrest of a village chairman who was among those caught with alleged rebel Andrea Rosal in Caloocan City as militants picketed the NBI to demand the release of the woman whom they said is due to give birth soon.
Barangay Captain Ruben Gatchilian is a local chapter officer of the party-list Anakpawis, according to Anakpawis Rep. Fernando Hicap. The village officer was arrested along with two suspected rebels at his home on BF Homes, Brgy.168 Caloocan City by the National Bureau of Investigation on Thursday (March 27).
In a statement, Hicap sought the immediate and unconditional release of Andrea, daughter of the Communist Party of the Philippines spokesperson, the late Gregorio ‘Ka Roger’ Rosal, and Rafael De Guzman. Rosal is 9-months’ pregnant, he said.
Hicap said the NBI should immediately have Rosal undergo medical care as the latter is giving birth anytime soon.
“Anakpawis condemns the arrest of Brgy Capt. Ruben Gatchilian, Andrea Rosal and Rafael De Guzman. The arrest according to human rights group Karapatan violated the rights of the three for a legal counsel, contact to human rights group and immediate relatives” he said.
The series of arrests conducted by the Aquino government on members of the underground movement was meant, in Hicap’s view, to further strain the already fragile status of the peace talks between the government and the Communist Party of the Philippines.
He accused Mr. Aquino of giving his blessing to “state agents to arrest [people], whether members of the negotiating team on the peace talk representing the NDFP like the Tiamzons and other members of the revolutionary movement. Clearly, the arrest was to intimidate and provoke the CPP-NPA-NDF to abandon the peace talks. It only exposed his double talk on the peace talks.”
