ILOILO CITY – A court in Metro Manila has sentenced a high-ranking official of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army to life imprisonment for a 1975 murder.
A Taguig City court found Maria Concepcion “Concha” Araneta-Bocala guilty of the September 1975 murder of Metodio Inisa in Madalag, Aklan. However, she is still at-large, according to Capt. Kim Apitong, Philippine Army 3rd Infantry Division spokesperson. Apitong said that the 3rd ID has secured a copy of the June 21, 2022 decision issued by Judge Marivic Vitor.The Ilongga communist rebel was initially arrested in 1985 but subsequently released following the EDSA People Power Revolution in 1986. As a political prisoner, she was supposed to be under house arrest.
Bocala flew to Norway late in August 2016 for the peace talks. When the Duterte administration cancelled the negotiations with the NDF last August 2017, Bocala became at-large.
