From the Manila Bulletin (Mar 10): 2 more NPAs surrender
Two heavily armed New People’s Army (NPA) fighters bolted from their respected highland camps and voluntarily surrendered to military and police units on Thursday, Army and police reports yesterday said.
The two NPA fighters are now under the custody of the government’s field unit commanders and will soon be released so that they could be reunited with their respective families.
A flash report obtained by The Manila Bulletin on Saturday from the Police Regional Office 13 (PRO 13)-Regional Public Information Office (RPIO) stated that the first NPA member brought with him his shotgun loaded with live ammunition when he surrendered to the Maneuver Company of the 13th Regional Mobile Force Battalion and 75th Infantry Battalion, in Purok 15 Sitio Cabauhan, Barangay Bunawan Brook, Bunawan, Agusan del Sur.
Another NPA fighter, who also turned himself in, led troops to three AK47 rifles he had buried in Barangay Rizal in Manay, Davao Oriental.
The names of the former NPA fighters were withheld for security reasons.
“The recovery of the high powered firearms is a great manifestation of the former rebel’s sincerity in submitting unto the folds of the law and we will not lower our guards against any armed threats that can harm the peaceful living of the people,” said Lt. Col. Oscar B. Baligsanay Jr., 25th Infantry Battalion commander.
