Three members of the New Peoples Army (NPA) surrendered to
the 57th Infantry Battalion on Monday afternoon.
In a statement sent by the Philippine Army, the three rebels
were based in Magpet, North Cotabato and were identified as Ar-Ar Sumagaysay
Egad, Supply Officer, Squad Uno, Pulang Bagani Command- Southern Mindanao
Regional Party Committee (PBC 2-SMRC), Ramil Ali Umanan, Team Leader, Squad 3,
PBC 2-SMRC and Jenelyn Aloy Saud, Medic, Squad 3, SRC 3- SMRC.
This brings the total number of NPA surrenderers to 37 since
January 2015 in the area of 10th Infantry Division alone.
They will be enrolled to the government’s Comprehensive
Local Integration Program (CLIP) to help former rebels in their reintegration
to the mainstream society.
Major General Eduardo M Año, Commander of the 10TH Infantry
Agila Division, lauded the influx of NPA surrenderees.
“We encourage others and expect more surrenders because a
truly peaceful and productive life is here in the mainstream society- not in
the CPP-NPA’s weary world of lies and atrocities,” Año said.
“There is no point for the NPA rebels in waging the useless
and violent armed struggle that has only caused unnecessary sufferings and
counter-productive results to our communities. Instead, let us all unite and
together win the peace here in Davao Region,” Año added.
