From Malaya (May 28): Reb yields firearms, gets P110,000

A self-confessed squad leader-political officer of the Sentro De Grabidad Platoon of the New People’s Army South West Front has received P110,000 in exchange for the high-powered firearms he had surrendered to the 47th Infantry Battalion in Candoni, Negros Occidental.

Elizalde Martisano, with aliases of Ka Nonoy and Bong, was the first rebel returnee in Western Visayas, who availed of the Armed Forces Guns for Peace program that was launched last April.

He received P50,000 for the M16 rifle and P20,000 each for the three Mossberg shotguns.

Col. Jon Aying, 303rd Infantry Brigade commander, said Martisano was the 89th NPA member who had surrendered to the 303rd Infantry Brigade since 2011.

Aying also said they have extended security protection to the family of Martisano.
