From Tempo (Jun 10): 4 Aeta NPA commanders yield
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga –Four Aeta commanders of the New People’s Army (NPA) allegedly operating in the mountainous western part of this province have surrendered to provincial government officials during the commemoration of Independence Day.
Governor Lilia Pineda said the NPA rebels had decided to lay down their arms and trust their local officials and become partners with the community “in their quest for genuine change and development.”
Senior Supt. Rodolfo Recomono, Jr., Provincial police director, identified the surrenderees as Western Pampanga commanders Eduardo Abuque, Ka Rannie Vital, Ka Omer Trajano, and Ka Lanlan Serrano. The surrender of the rebels was coordinated with the Pampanga-Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO) headed by Elizabeth Baybayin, he added.
Commander Abuque faces 10 arrest warrants for multiple murder and other crimes and is now under the custody of the Pampanga-Provincial Public Safety Company (PPSC) under the supervision of Superintendent Bernardo Perez.
Police records showed that Ka Abuque is allegedly responsible in the series of killings of high-ranking officials from the Philippine National Police (PNP), Philippine Air force, and Armed forces of the Philippines. During interrogation, Abuque told local officials that difficulty of their living conditions in the mountains is the reason behind their surrender.
