CEBU CITY — Leaders of militant groups in Negros Occidental raised fears of a government crackdown on communist members after the arrest of the administrative officer of the Center for People’s Resources and Services in Bacolod City Tuesday night. But in the warrant, Quilop was identified as Rowena Quilop Navarro. Eduardo Precioso, 303rd Infantry Brigade Civil Military Operations head, said his men supported the CIDG in serving the arrest warrant to Quilop, now under the custody of the CIDG-Negros Island Region. Another arrest warrant for murder was also issued against her in 2011. She expressed fear that Quilop’s arrest has been part of the continuing harassment of development workers and progressive leaders of people’s organizations.
