Four former New People's Army (NPA) rebels, who voluntarily surrendered to the military in Ilagan, Isabela, were given financial aid by the government for them to start a new and peaceful life last Aug. 19.
Belated reports from 5th Infantry Division spokesperson 1st Lt. Rowena Abayon identified the beneficiaries as Albert B. Buyawe, 31; Jaime G. Bittuwon, 32; Mario P. Guinnoy, 31 and Franklin Maneja, 34.
She added that Buyawe, Bittuwon and Guinnoy received P50,000 each while Maneja received P32,000.
All four also received one cavan of rice as additional aid.
Abayon said the money came from the Office of Presidential Adviser on Peace Process which is part of the government's Social Integration Program.
