The acting chairman of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) was arrested on Thursday in a joint military and police operation in Quezon City.
Wigberto "Baylon" Villarico, also known by the aliases Benjamin Mendoza and Alejandro Montalan, is wanted for two counts of kidnapping with murder related to the deaths of Erebeto Eclavea and Richard Cortizano in Quezon province—a case that has remained unsolved for nearly two decades.
The arrest was based on a warrant issued by Judge Rodolfo Obnamia Jr. of the Regional Trial Court Branch 64 in Mauban, Quezon, with no bail recommended for Villarico.
