MANILA, Philippines – Around 30 suspected communist rebels swooped down on a political rally of a brother of Lakas-Kampi-CMD stalwart Prospero Pichay in Surigao del Sur province yesterday afternoon and took the firearms of bodyguards and police escorts, an official said.

Chief Superintendent Lino Calingasan, Caraga regional director, said the armed group, reportedly led by a certain Commander Puma, wore military uniform when they stormed the political rally of Rep. Philip Pichay at Sitio Cadlom, Brgy. Cabangahan, Tago, Surigao del Sur, around 1 p.m.

The legislator was with Mayor Hermenildo Pimentel Jr. and his party mates when incident happened.

The gunmen took from the police escorts and body guards three M-16 assault rifles, a cal. 45 pistol and four AK-47 rifles. - By Dennis Carcamo (Philstar News Service, www.philstar.com)
