From Update Philippines (Mar 31): 14 Year-old girl recruited by NPA as medic surrenders
A 14-year-old girl recruited by the NPA in January 2017 abandoned the bandit group after she surrendered Thursday, March 30. Davao Oriental Provincial Information Office today said alias Shena resident of So Casunugan, Barangay Buso, Mati City, Davao Oriental requested for the help of Buso barangay official for her surrender to government troops.
The NPA reportedly made her a medic of Squad 3, Baking Platoon of Pulang Bagani Command (PBC) 7. Shena was a grade six student of Serafin Vizconde Elem School when she was recruited by an alias Kara in January.
“It may be recalled that her mother Leonila appeared before the Davao City media and appealed for the NPA to return her daughter who was recruited to join the rebel group last January 2017,” 10th Infantry Division of the Philippine Army said.
“The 48 years of insurgency have only brought miseries to the Filipino people,” said Major General Rafael Valencia, 10ID commander. “It is now time for the communists to abandon the armed struggle and pursue their political objectives through peaceful means.”
