/ 01:44 PM February 26, 2011

KIDAPAWAN CITY, Philippines—Communist rebels killed two people in Davao del Sur this week, justifying one attack as appropriate for a counter-revolutionary.

The latest to be killed was Jun Sal, who was “executed” in Barangay Colonsabac in Matanao, Davao del Sur, on Saturday morning, the New People’s Army’s Mount Alip Operations Command said.

Macario Dilaab, an NPA spokesperson, said they had long targeted Sal for his active role in the government’s anti-communist campaign. He described Sal as an Army intelligence asset.

“He has always been a target of our comrades because of his active affiliation to the military,” Dilaab said in a text message.
