when they voluntarily surrendered. Based on the 8ID record, they were under the
Front Committee 2, Northern Samar Provincial Party Committee, now known as
Sub-Region Committee Emporium.
According to Lt. Col. Carmelito L. Pangatungan, Commanding
Officer of 63IB, the three NPAs were accompanied by five Kagawad members of
Barangay Gebulwangan, Catarman Northern Samar when they surrendered. They are
currently under the custody of 63IB while their surrender papers are on
process.
Major General Jet B. Velarmino, 8ID Commander, lauded the
efforts made by the 63IB that resulted to the surrender of the three NPA
members and also encouraged them to double their effort in winning the peace
through community service.
He also renewed his call for NPA members to return to the
mainstream of society and avail of the government programs intended for NPA
rebels and enjoy life with their respective families, not a life of an NPA that
is full of uncertainty, or a life that is always on the run. He stressed that
the 8ID will ensure the safety and well-being of NPA surrenderees while they
are in military custody
