TWO NEW People’s Army (NPA) members surrendered separately to soldiers in Talaingod, Davao del Norte and Baguio District,
Lt. Vergel Lacambra, 10th Infantry Division
spokesperson, said Martin Manabay, team leader of the NPA’s Guerilla Front 55
surrendered to the 68th Infantry Battalion in Talaingod, while Daryl
Dayag, 20 of Sitio Cabangbang, Barangay Tambobong in Baguio District also
surrendered to members of the 84th Infantry Battalion in Baguio
District.
Lacambra said the rebels gave themselves up without their
firearms as Dayag claimed a certain Kapitan recruited him to join the movement
in December 2014.
Both decided to return to the fold of the law because of the
hardship they experienced during their stint with the movement.
Maj. Gen. Eduardo M. Ano, commander of the division,
attributed the surrender of the two to the continued cooperation between the
military and the local officials, the latter being the ones who persuaded the
rebels to surrender.
“We are calling other rebels to return to the society and
live peacefully,” Ano said, adding that the former rebels will be enrolled in
the Comprehensive Localized Integration Program to facilitate their return to
their communities.
