Long–time NPA member surrenders in Ilocos Norte

From the Philippine News Agency (Oct 18): Long–time NPA member surrenders in Ilocos Norte

A long–time member of the New People’s Army (NPA) surrendered to the police, claiming he did this as he was already tired hiding, the police here reported Thursday. Police identified the surrenderor as Danny Butac, 53, a resident of Barangay Isic-isic, Vintar, Ilocos Norte. Butac, who is known as “Ka Lando,” joined the communist group when he was 27 years old after he claimed he experienced abuses from the military in 1986. He also admitted he was encouraged to join the rebel group due to the good promises made by their leaders. Butac revealed he was one of the rebels who were operating in Marag Valley; Cabugao, Ilocos Sur; Montalban, Rizal; and Pangasinan. The police here are looking for any assistance and benefits that may be given to Butac for voluntarily surrendering.
