From the Visayan Daily Star (Jan 17): 3 NPA members surrender
Three alleged members of the New People's Army surrendered to the Philippine
Army in Sigma, Capiz, Monday, the military reported yesterday. Capt. Ryan Joseph Cayton of the 3rd Infantry (Spearhead) Division in Capiz
identified them as Joecel Labanza “alias Ka Jacky/Nhene,” a medical officer of
the Igabon Platoon, Komiteng Rehiyon-Panay; Precy Ortiz “alias Ka Leah”, under
commander Rhea from Montalban, Rizal; and Leo Glorian “alias Ka Rio”, finance
and logistic officer of the Tugalbong Platoon, KR-P.
Cayton said too much hardship in the mountains, the unfulfilled promises of
the NPA hierarchy, and the concern of the returnees for their families, drove
the rebel cadres to give themselves up before soldiers of the 3ID. He said
Maj. Gen. Jose Mabanta, commanding general of the 3ID based in Camp Macario
Peralta in Jamindan, Capiz, assured the returnees of government assistance while
they are in the process of relocation, and livelihood training programs.
