This is breaking important
news. We will have to see if these arrests will have a big impact on the “people’s
war” in the Philippines. President Benigno Aquino has confidently and arrogantly asserted that there will be a "big fish" captured some time soon.

MANILA, Philippines—Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin on
Saturday night confirmed the arrest of Benito Tiamzon, chairman of the
Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and its armed wing, the New People’s
Army (NPA) in Cebu province.
Tiamzon was arrested with his wife Wilma and five other
members of the central committee of the CPP-NPA.
Wilma Tiamzon is the secretary general of the CPP-NPA.
Wilma Tiamzon is the secretary general of the CPP-NPA.
“This is a report given to me by the AFP (Armed Forces of
the Philippines). Yes, [arrested were] Benito and Wilma Tiamzon,” Gazmin told
the Inquirer by phone.
The arrest of the Tiamzons happened exactly a week before
the 45th anniversary of the CPP-NPA on March 29.
Gazmin said the Tiamzons were undergoing “tactical
interrogation.”
A few days ago, President Benigno Aquino said that a “big
fish” would soon be arrested that would surprise everybody.
Asked if the President was referring to the Tiamzons, Gazmin
said: “I don’t know. I guess so. They are a big fish.”
