Rebel surrenders in La Union

From the Philippine Star (Nov 5): Rebel surrenders in La Union

A twentyfive-year-old communist guerrilla operating in the Cordillera region has surrendered to La Union policemen. Moises Bumusao alias “Ka Wawi”, who was formerly operating in the Cordillera region and a member of the “Kilusang Laranganga Gerilya (Guerilla Front) Marco” (Mountain Province), has left his rebel group. Bumusao was convinced by La Union authorities to lead a peaceful life and leave the underground movement. Bumusao said he was also convinced to surrender because the leftist movement “was full of frustrations and empty promises of cadres”. Bumusao is from barangay Basao, Tinglayan town in Kalinga and is listed number 27 under 3rd Quarter 2011 Periodic Status Report on Threat Groups (PSRTG). Bumusao is already the second guerrilla to surrender in La Union recently after Gangang Allin, another member of “KLG Marco” turned himself in.
