“The NPA fails to fulfill its promises, continues punishment on the poor … (and conducts) unending extortion,” Castillo said, quoting the rebel returnee.

On Sunday, alias Jun also surrendered to the 30th IB who brought along his AK47 rifle and several ammo.

“There are many benefits from our government awaiting our returnees. At this moment, they should realize how we want peace for them,” he said.
Lt. Col. Allen Thomas, the battalion commander, said that the surrender of the two communist guerrillas only proves that many of them are keen on going back home to their families, and live peaceful lives.
