Six members of the rebel group New People’s Army (NPA)
surrendered to the military in Sitio Patil, Brgy. Gupitan, Kapalong, Davao
In a statement sent by Capt. Rhyan Batchar, chief of
division public affairs office of the 10th Infantry Division, the six rebels
brought with them two M16 rifles and one M14 rifle.
He added that they surfaced through the help of a tribal
datu to joint elements of 60th Infantry Battalion (IB) and Delta Company of
72nd IB.
"The Team Agila welcomes their return to the mainstream
society and hope that other active NPAs will emulate what they have done. We
are certain that they too missed their loved ones' care and affection. Let us
work together to attain peace not through armed struggle but through active
peace advocacies ourselves," said Maj. Gen. Rafael Valencia, 10th ID
Commander.
The six are now undergoing custodial debriefing at the
headquarters of the 60th Infantry Battalion based in Brgy. Doña Andrea, Asuncion , Davao
