Eighteen (18) NPA members with their firearms and improvised bombs surrendered to the 33rd Infantry ‘Makabayan’ Battalion (33IB) of the Philippine Army on October 24. The rebels were from the mountains of Senator Ninoy Aquino, Sultan Kudarat.
“Said surrenderors voluntarily turned themselves in to the government authorities due to the fear of being caught in the massive combat operations that will be launched against the communist terrorists,” said 33IB headed by Lieutenant Colonel Harold Cabunoc.

The rebels were presented by First Lieutenant Austin John Jamora, commanding officer of 33IB Alpha Company, to Senator Ninoy Aquino Mayor Randy ‘Junjun’ Ecija Jr.
The surrenderors reportedly have known the good treatment accorded to their comrades who had earlier laid down their arms.
33IB said the latest surrender of NPA rebels was a result of the collaborative action among different agencies including the Makabayan Battalion, Military Intelligence Group 12 Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, and the Office of the Mayor Senator Ninoy Aquino, Sultan Kudarat.
