50 ex-reds pledge support to gov't

From the Mindanao Newsbits section of the Manila Bulletin (May 17): 50 ex-reds pledge support to gov't

Malungon, Sarangani – Some 50 former New People’s Army (NPA) rebels have assured local government and military officials of their continued allegiance and support to the government.

The assurance was made by the rebel returnees in a recent dialogue with local officials led by Mayor Reynaldo Constantino.

The returnees led by Jessie Celestino said they would continue to support the peace initiative of the government with their unconditional surrender years ago. Constantino expressed elation over the development.

“I believe my administration has proven its fervor in promoting peace,” he said.
