Tired of the incessant fighting, a New People's Army (NPA) fighter voluntarily surrendered including his weapon, a M-4A1 automatic rifle, to troopers of the 36th Infantry Battalion, 4th Infantry Division stationed in Barangay Dayo-an, Tago, Surigao Del Sur Wednesday noon.
Lt. Col. Leo Bongasio, 4th Infantry Division spokesperson, declined to identify the surrendered NPA fighter for security reasons.
He added that the latter is now undergoing custodial debriefing.
Bongosia said the surrender was facilitated by tribal chieftains in the locality.
Aside from his rifle, the NPA fighter also surrendered a magazine containing 19 rounds of 5.56-mm ammunition.
