A few hours after I posted a story asking the people of Kidapawan City to help validate the identity of the bomb courier arrested by the Task Force Davao in Toril last night, valuable information has been submitted.
The suspect, Roy Bulat-ag Moreno, 22, has been confirmed to be a resident of Sinsuat Street, Kidapawan City.
He belongs to a poor Visayan family whose mother works as a street sweeper with a local government unit.
The family’s house is located in an informal settlers’ area at the end of the short street in Barangay Poblacion, Kidapawan City.
Neighbours interviewed by a team I organised shortly after his arrest said Moreno has not been seen in the area for over a year now.
“Taga diri na sya pero dugay naman na nawala diri,” a neighbor told the team. (He is really from this place but he has not been seen here for a long time now.)
There are still unconfirmed reports that Moreno joined an armed rebel group.
Moreno was arrested last night after army soldiers belonging to Task Force Davao conducted an inspection of a van which came from Kidapawan City.
Found in his backpack during the inspection were two Improvised Explosive Devices, bomb paraphernalia and a hand grenade.
He is now undergoing tactical interrogation by Davao City authorities.
