3 more rebels surrender in Compostela Valley

From the Philippine News Agency (May 22): 3 more rebels surrender in Compostela Valley

Three more New People's Army (NPA) fighters, tired of the incessant fighting and separation from their loved ones, have voluntarily surrendered to troopers of the 25th Infantry Battalion in Poblacion Monkayo, Compostela Valley Thursday morning.

Eastern Mindanao Command spokesperson Lt. Col. Eduardo Gubat identified the surrenderers as Jessie Conseng, Jefferd Conseng and Jonathan Conseng.

Gubat said the three opted to give themselves up as they want to embrace peace, live normal lives with their loved ones and avail the programs of the government.

As of May 22, there are 62 NPA members who have surrendered to different military units of the AFP’s Eastern Mindanao Command while 30 NPA members with warrant of arrests from different concerned courts were arrested by the joint military and police elements at the Eastern Mindanao area since last Jan. 1.
