From the Philippine Star (Mar 21): NPA
squad leader yields in Misamis Occidental
A leader of the New People’s Army (NPA) surrendered to police forces of a
village in Misamis Occidental, a security official said on Thursday.
Senior Superintendent James Mejia, Zamboanga del Norte police provincial
director, said Paterno Sagadrata Cantutay Jr. known with the aliases Ram and
Jolie, 35, single, surrendered to police forces under Senior Inspector Robert
Esparagoza at Sapang Dalaga town Tuesday afternoon.
Cantutay, a resident of Barangay Lapangan, Don Victoriano town Misamis
Occidental, is a squad leader of the Samahan Yunit Propaganda (SYP), a
propaganda arm of the NPA Front ’89 based at Malaybalay City, Bukidnon
province.
Police said Cantutay claimed he voluntarily surrendered to clear his name
from the recent attack by NPA rebels at the pineapple plantation of the DOLE
Philippines where a company guard was killed.
Cantutay also wanted to avail himself of the government’s ‘balik masa’
program, the police said.
