THE PHILIPPINE National Police (PNP) would hunt down Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) leaders Benito and Wilma Tiamzon if they refuse to surrender despite a court’s order to arrest them, a Palace official said Wednesday.
“Police must hunt them down. That’s what’s expected of them,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a message to the press.
In a January 11 decision released publicly on Wednesday, Manila Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 32 ordered the arrest of the Tiamzons, together with co-accused National Democratic Front (NDF) consultant Adelberto Silva, as it granted the Department of Justice (DOJ)’s earlier motion for recommitment and cancellation of bail.
