High-ranking officers of a communist terrorist group (CTG) in Eastern Visayas, who have standing warrants of arrest, were apprehended in two separate operations on July 8, 2024, in Baguio City.
According to Philippine Army 8th ID Public Affairs Office Chief Captain Jefferson Mariano, law enforcement officers served warrants of arrest in Brgy. Guisad, Baguio City, to Terrence Eder, alias Anjo/Islao, also known as Terencio Eder Jr. y Matiga, a resident of Barangay 88, San Jose, Tacloban City.
Eder was the former Secretary of the Sub-Regional Committee (SRC) Emporium of the Eastern Visayas Regional Party Committee (EVRPC).
Also apprehended was his wife, Annalyn Eder, alias Anya/Ninya, also known as Analyn Eder y Sacan, 42, a resident of Brgy 88, San Jose, Tacloban City.
She was the former Educational Officer and Finance Officer of the SRC Emporium, EVRPC.
Mariano said that the Eder couple were issued with standing warrants of arrest for violating Section 4 of RA 11479, the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020, and for the crime of arson.
Major General Camilo Z. Ligayo, Commander of the 8th Infantry Division, Philippine Army, stated that the apprehension of the Eder couple demonstrates the government’s commitment to holding those who commit serious crimes, especially violations of anti-terrorism laws accountable.
He praised the government forces that contributed to the success of the operation.
“The successful operation shows the government’s commitment to delivering justice to victims of terrorism. We will not remain idle and will continue to intensify our efforts to apprehend individuals with outstanding violations,” Maj. Gen. Ligayo emphasized.
