The ambush-slay of former rebel Jimmy dela Cruz, alias Ka Guanzon, in Sitio Binabuyan, Brgy. Cambayobo, Calatrava, Negros Occidental, was claimed by the Roselyn Pelle Command-Northern Negros Guerilla Front.

In a statement, rebel spokesperson Cecille Estrella alleged that Dela Cruz, who was a member of their group from 2017 until 2020, served as an intelligence asset of the Army’s 79th Infantry Battalion.

Dela Cruz, who had gone AWOL (absent without leave) and joined the group of former NPA members, Ka Dodong, Ka Prince Gallego and his wife, Mia, who had turned themselves into military assets, Estrella said.

While they respect the decisions of NPA members to live a normal life, they should not harm the revolutionary masses and the revolutionary movement by cooperating with the AFP, as what Dela Cruz did, the rebel spokesperson added.

“Dela Cruz became a traitor of the revolutionary movement and the revolutionary people’s court sentenced him with death penalty, which decision was swiftly implemented the RJPC,” she said in the issued statement.

Estrella reminded former comrades that they have no immunity when serving justice.*
