Historic First. Five members of non profit Paghidaet Sa Kauswagan Development Group (PDG) based in Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental province were charged by the Justice Department for violations of the country's anti terrorist financing laws.

A dispatch from the Army's Third Infantry Division said:

CAMP PERALTA, Jamindan, Capiz – The Department of Justice filed six counts of terrorism financing charges against five Negros-based allies of the Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) on Tuesday, December 3, 2024.

These cases were filed before Iloilo Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 31, the designated terrorism court in Western Visayas, against five members of Paghidaet sa Kauswagan Development Group (PDG). The individuals' real names were withheld for security purposes. They were charged with violating Section 8 of Republic Act No. 10168, also known as “The Terrorism Financing Prevention and Suppression Act of 2012.”

PDG is based in Sitio Mohon, Barangay Binicuil, Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental.

The terrorism financing charges stem from an investigation and case build-up conducted by Police Regional Office 6, 3rd Infantry Division, and the Joint Focused Legal Action Team (JFLAT) of the Legal Cooperation and Peace, Law Enforcement and Development Support (PLEDS) Clusters of the Regional Task Force in Ending Local Communist Armed Conflict 6 (RTF-ELCAC 6). The investigation uncovered financial support provided by these individuals to the CTG.

Section 8 of the Act prohibits dealing with the property or funds of individuals or groups officially designated as involved in terrorist or other illegal activities, specifically those who provide any property, money, or financial services to these terror groups or people. Those found guilty may face a prison sentence of up to 40 years or even life imprisonment, along with a fine of at least 500,000 pesos and up to 1 million pesos.

Police Regional Director Brigadier General Jack W***y, in a statement delivered by PRO6 Regional Operations Division Chief Colonel Gilbert Gorero, said that these cases underwent preliminary investigation before the Department of Justice, all parties were given an opportunity to be heard pursuant to the rules on preliminary investigation, and due process was observed.

Acknowledging terrorism financing as the most utilized strategy by the CTG in their desperate bid to overthrow the democratic government, Brigadier General Jack W***y, Police Regional Director of PRO6, reiterated their commitment to continue dismantling the remaining terrorism financing network of the group in Western Visayas.

Meanwhile, Major General Marion R. Sison, Commander of the 3ID, in a statement delivered by 3ID Assistant Division Commander for Administration Colonel Erwin Rommel Lamzon, pledged a similar commitment to cutting off the source and generation of funds for the CTG. He highlighted the 3ID's unwavering commitment to supporting the campaign against terrorism financing and assured to work alongside PNP counterparts and other agencies to ensure that those who seek to fund terrorism are brought to justice.

Moreover, he commended the exceptional work of the involved government forces for their tireless efforts that resulted in the successful case build-up and subsequent filing of six counts of terrorism financing charges against the CTG allies.

“This achievement is a testament to your dedication in ending the decades-long insurgency by dismantling the financial network of the CTG in Western Visayas,” he concluded.

The Army's Third Infantry Division Public Affairs Office reports:

Wanted CTG Official, Companion Arrested in Iloilo

CAMP PERALTA, Jamindan, Capiz – A designated terrorist of the Anti-Terrorism Council and former Secretary of Komiteng Rehiyon-Panay (KR-P), Tomas Dominado alias "Pendong," 74, was arrested in a joint Law Enforcement Support Operation (LESO) by the Police Regional Office 6 (PRO6) and the 301st Infantry Brigade on Thursday, December 5, 2024, in a subdivision in Barangay San Jose, Arevalo, Iloilo City.

Dominado, a Central Committee member of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) on leave status, was apprehended at about 1:16 PM. He was arrested on a warrant for murder with the use of an unlicensed firearm (Criminal Case No. 11-1187-10), issued by Judge Daniel Grardo Amular of Branch 21, 6th Judicial Region, Mambusao, Capiz and rebellion (Criminal Case No. C-17-1857-09), issued by Judge Judith D. Orendain-Tonogbanua of Branch 21, Regional Trial Court (RTC) 6, Mambusao, Capiz on December 12, 2017.

During the operation, authorities also arrested Jofel Lecoto, 42, medic/caretaker of Dominado and a former Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) member. Lecoto was apprehended for violating Republic Act 10591 (Illegal Possession of Fi****ms and Ammunitions) and Republic Act No. 11479 (Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020) for harboring and assisting Dominado. A caliber 45 pistol with a magazine and seven ammunitions were seized from Lecoto's possession.

Based on military records, Dominado was among the original recruits of the CPP's First Quarter Storm in Panay Island in the 1970s. He was formerly assigned as a core cadre in the National Instruction Bureau and served as a staff member for the Pambansang Kawanihan sa Edukasyon (PAKED) of the CPP Central Committee from the 1970s to the 1980s.

He previously served as First Deputy Regional Party Secretary of the KR-Panay-Panay CPP Regional Party Committee and Head/Secretary of the Conglomerate Regional Urban Party Committee of the CPP in Panay Island.

In addition, Dominado was designated a terrorist, along with other Central Committee members, under Anti-Terrorism Council Resolution Number 17-2021. He was responsible for planning and implementing CTG-initiated violent activities in Panay Island, including a series of encounters and the liquidation of suspected civilian informants and former RPA/ABB members in Iloilo (2007) and Capiz (2011). Dominado is also allegedly involved in the following criminal cases: Murder of Ruben Cabunagan of Tubungan, Iloilo (2007); Attempted murder of Jodie Mordice of Miagao, Iloilo (2007); and Murder of Arturo Tagudinay of Tubungan, Iloilo (2007).

The leadership of the Army’s 3rd Infantry (Spearhead) Division commended the 301st Infantry Brigade and its PNP counterparts for their successful LESO, resulting in the arrest of Dominado and his companion.

“The arrest of Dominado and his companion is a testament to our unwavering commitment to finding, fixing, and finishing all remnants of the CTG. We will not rest until we have achieved complete victory against this terrorist organization and have effectively prevented them from resurging. We will continue to strengthen our anti-insurgency operations and collaborate with other security forces and various sectors of society to fulfill our vision for a stable internal peace and security environment in Western Visayas,” said Major General Marion R Sison, Commander, 3ID.

He once again issued a stern warning to remaining CTG members, emphasizing that they cannot escape the long arm of the law.

“While the law may be harsh, it is the law. Harm or even death can occur during law enforcement operations. It is in your best interest to lay down your arms and return to the folds of the government before you face the consequences of hiding from the authorities. By doing so, you can avail yourself of the Enhanced-Comprehensive Integration Program (E-CLIP) and the government's Amnesty Program, offering a fresh start within the refuge of your family and community," he ended.

Filipinos are no stranger to impeachments, a Constitutional process to hold top officials to account and two top officials have already been impeached by Congress - the first was President Joseph Estrada in 2001 who was impeached by the House of Representatives. Estrada resigned as a result of the EDSA People Power II sparked by the walkout of prosecutors during the Senate trial. The second was that of Chief Justice Renato Corona who was found guilty by the Senate on 29 May 2012.

What have we, as a nation, gained from these impeachments?

New Police Stations

New Police Stations. Bacolod City will have a changed landscape soon if the proposal of Bacolod City Police Office chief, Colonel Joeresty Coronica, will be implemented. This will involve the putting up of five territorial police units each covering only one barangay. These are Station 11 (Brgy. Banago), Station 12 (Singcang Airport), Station 13 (Vista Alegre), Station 14 (Estefania), and Station 15 (Cabug). | Interview by Julius D Mariveles, shot and postproduced by Banjo C Hinolan

Time and Motion Baseline. The time to traverse from Gate 1 of the University of St. La Salle to make a left turn to BS Aquino Drive takes about a minute and a half past the peak hours in light traffic condition as shown in this video. This baseline data is part of an ongoing observation for a reporting project of DNX on traffic that is one of the major concerns in the lone highly-urbanized city in Negros Occidental province.

DNX Publicus | Colonel Joeresty Coronica

On DNX Publicus. Colonel Joeresty Coronica is 49, perhaps one of the youngest or the youngest director of the Bacolod City Police Office. He is, however, the first director of a highly-urbanized city with more than half a million people to come up with a roadmap for the BCPO, a master plan of sorts for the police office that he says is meant to intersect with the super city vision of Mayor Albee Benitez. Watch Colonel Joeresty explain his vision in his own words and why to him he also has a personal stake in it.

THE GREEN ARMY BUILDS A COMMUNITY

The 79th Infantry Battalion, known by its moniker 'Masaligan' is not only into warfighting after dismantling the Northern Negros Front of the New People's Army but is also focusing on building communities like bringing together people - from reservists, to students to riders, Boy Scouts, teachers and nature lovers to youth groups -and members of the uniformed service like the police, the Bureau of Jail Management and even the Coast Guard. The 79th, headed by its commander, Lieutenant Colonel Arnel Calaoagan, led a, tree planting activity through its civil military officer, Lieutenant Dan Carlo Samoza, at the Gawahon Eco Park in Victorias City that gathered hundreds of participants, the biggest so far to reforest the Northern Negros Natural Park.

Who is DNX?

The Digital News Exchange is a fusion of old and new technology. This, too, is the reality behind the people who compose DNX.

DNX is a news team composed of both veterans and new blood. It is composed of professors in Communication, multimedia experts, graphic designers, investigative journalists. They are joined by a group of young bloods trained in new media, in multi-media storytelling, in film-making, all bred and schooled in a premier university based in Negros Occidental. These two groups of diverse individuals gathered with one aim: to fuse the discipline of paper-and-pen journalism with new media.

The DNX is primarily led by a former investigative journalist with more than two decades worth of experience in multimedia, and a professor in Journalism trained in academic research and advocacy. Together, they lead a young, dynamic team of budding lawyers, filmmakers, actors, and social media influencers who are all committed to bringing stories, informed opinions, and vital information about politics, culture, society, entertainment, and business.

And that is exactly what the DNX team will deliver to its audience.
