From the Philippine News Agency (Jan 31): NPA surrenders in Zamboanga del
Sur
A New People’s Army (NPA) rebel, who desires to live peacefully together with
his family and due to hardship in the mountains, surrendered to the military in
Zamboanga del Sur province on Tuesday.
Lt. Col. Rommel Almaria, commander of the Army’s 55th Infantry Battalion,
identified the rebel surrenderor as Alex Dungog alias Ronald, 28, a resident of
Barangay Tabugon, Tambulig municipality.
Dungog surrendered following a series of negotiations around 11:30 p.m.
Tuesday at the detachment of the 55th Infantry Battalion’s Alpha Company in
Tambulig town, Almaria said. He said Dungog, who surrendered without firearms, is a member of the NPA’s
Front Committee Joji of the Western Mindanao Regional Party Committee based in
Zamboanga del Sur.
He said Dungog was recruited in October last year.
Meanwhile, First Infantry Division commander Maj. Gen. Ricardo Rainier Cruz
III commended the Bayanihan Team and the officials of Barangay Tabugon for the
successful negotiations that led to Dungog's surrender.
