AN ALLEGED finance logistics officer of the New People’s Army (NPA) surrendered to the 39th Infantry Battalion on Tuesday, Dec. 12, on its headquarters in Arakan, North Cotabato.
1Lt. Silver Adell Belvis, the civil-military operations (CMO) officer of 39th Infantry Battalion, identified the suspect as alias Danny, who worked for Squad Abe and Front Committee 53 for one year, who brought with him his M1 Carbine rifle.
Danny told soldiers that his NPA commander, alias Jecko, has been pocketing the cash that was promised to them when they joined the rebel group. The commander also allegedly scrimped on food even with all the money they collected.

“The NPA always claims that the government is corrupt but the truth is that they are the ones that are corrupt,” he added.
The surrender of Danny was made possible through the effort of a tribal leader in the locality of Arakan Valley. He will be enrolled in the Comprehensive Localized Integration Program (CLIP) offered to former eebels.
In his statement, Lt Col. Harold Argamosa, commander of 39th Infantry Battalion, noted that many NPA members were tricked by the propaganda of the communist organization. “The challenge is on how to reach this individual in order for them to be enlightened from these communist deceit,” Argamosa said.
“We are always open for those NPA that would like to surrender, there are many ways in addressing your issues, taking up arms should not be the choice,” he added.
