As of this year, there are already 206 NPA members who
returned to the folds of the law under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Mindanao
Command,
Based on record, almost 7.5 in 10 NPA members in Eastern Mindanao are indigenous peoples or Lumads. This
was based on the revelations of NPA returnees.
Col. Ricardo Nepomuceno, 1003rd Infantry Brigade commander,
lauded the concerned relatives of the returnees, local officials and tribal
leaders for their combined efforts.
“Through the CLIP of the LGUs, the returnees will enjoy the
peaceful and productive lives they wanted,” Nepomuceno said.
