The heinous crimes of Demetrio "Hugo" Capilastique, Jr.


Demetrio (alias “Hugo”) Capilastique, Jr., Regional Commander of the RPA-ABB in Panay met his death yesterday, 30 December 2013, around 4:30 pm, at Linayuan, Badiangan, Iloilo, when he resisted against the arresting unit of the New People’s Army.
