LEGAZPI CITY—A man tagged by police as a member of the guerrilla group New People’s Army (NPA) surrendered to authorities in the town of Mobo, Masbate province on Thursday when it was discovered he also was wanted for a rape case.

Police said Alex Macadat, 22, resident of Bagacay village in Mobo, turned himself in to Mobo police with the help of village officials.

Police said he was wanted for a rape case and was subject of an arrest warrant issued by a court in Masbate City on Nov. 22, 2018.
