3 NPA members surrender

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.
