MANILA, Philippines - Agents of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) have arrested a fugitive for 29 years with the help of the newly conceptualized Community Investigative Support (CIS), CIDG chief Director General Samuel Pagdilao Jr. said.

Pagdilao said Pedrito Masaglang had been hiding from the law for 29 years to avoid prosecution for a massacre.

He said Masaglang was implicated in the May 1983 killing of barangay chairman Eduardo Uy, his wife Monica, son Jaydee, and Ruben Malagante in Barangay Mangile, Jose Abad Santos, Davao del Sur.

Investigation showed that politics and a land dispute were behind the massacre.
