THREE New People’s Army members surrendered to the 57th
Infantry Battalion in Purok 6, Barangay Bantac,
Magpet in North Cotabato on Monday afternoon.
Lt. Vergel Lacambra, 10th Infantry Battalion division public affairs officer,
said the rebels had surrendered without firearms to the troops led by Capt.
Bruno T. Jugo of 57th IB.
The surrenderees were identified as Ar-ar S. Egad, supply
officer, and Ramil A. Umanan, team leader of Pulang Bagani Command 2, and
Jenelyn A. Saud, medic of Southern Mindanao Sub-regional Command.
Lacambra said the three surrendered due to hardships
encountered in the mountains.
They will be enrolled in the Comprehensive Local Integration
Program so they can resume their lives prior to joining the underground group.
For the first quarter of the year, the division already
recorded 32 NPA surenderees.
Maj. Gen. Eduardo M. Ano, 10th ID commander, said
they are expecting more NPA surrenderees due to their peace and development
campaign. “There is no point for the rebels in waging useless and violent armed
struggle ,this has only caused sufferings and slow progress in the community,”
he said.
