From the Philippine Daily Inquirer (Nov 19): Gov’t offers more cash to ex-rebels
The government is offering more cash to convince
members of the communist New People’s Army (NPA) in Leyte to surrender.
Col. Joel Nacnac, head of the 19th
Infantry Battalion based in Kananga town, said the surrenderors would receive
another P60,000, on top of the P32,000 incentive for turning over their M-16,
M-14 and other high-powered firearms to the military. The moneywould come
from the funds of the
802nd Infantry Brigade, which is based in Ormoc City and headed by Col. Rafael
Valencia. Nacnac said the returnees would also
receive P10,000 basic assistance from the Department of National Defense and
P50,000 livelihood assistance from the Office of the Presidential Adviser on
Peace Process.
