From the Philippine News Agency (Nov 14): 3 NPA rebels in Agusan surrender

Three NPA fighters bringing along with them their high powered firearms have surrendered to the military here on Wednesday.

Lt. Col. Jose Leonard B. Gille, commander of the army’s 26th Infantry Batallion, said that the surrenderers, two of them minors, decided to leave the underground movement after realizing that they rebels only feed them empty promises.

Gille identified the surrenderers as Librado Salintao AKA FREDIE 17 years old, MEDICS of Sandatahang Yunit Pamproganda 1, Guerilla Front 34, Southern Mindanao Regional Committee (SMRC), Ryan Salintao Agsubo 20 years Old and Rongie Tawide Salintao AKA RONGIE 17 years old belonging to the same Guerilla Unit operating in Kasapa 1, Lapaz, Agusan del Sur.

The NPA rebels also turned over high powered firearms: An M16 rifle, a Garrand rifle and an AK 47 rifle with ammunitions, Gille said.

Gille also promised to extend all economic benefits to the rebel returnee as soon as possible while appealing to other communist rebels in the rebel-infested province of Agusan del Sur to rejoin the mainstream society and live normal lives.
