More and more rebels surrendering to 10th ID units

From the Philippine News Agency (May 16): More and more rebels surrendering to 10th ID units

The number of New People's Army (NPA) fighters, who surrendered to the Davao City-based 10th Infantry Division, hit the 56-mark from January to May 15, 2015.

The voluntary surrender of three ranking NPA leaders on May 13 and 14 highlighted the increasing numnber of surrenderees.

Major Gen. Eduardo M. Año, 10th Infantry Division commander, said that the continuous influx of NPA surrenderees in Davao Region wass a manifestation that a growing demoralization was taking place at the NPA ranks.

"We are again calling on our brothers who are just  deceived by the CPP-NPA propaganda to lay down their arms and embrace a peaceful life with their family in the mainstream society," Año said.

The surrenderees will be enrolled in the government’s Comprehensive Local Integration Program.
