From Malaya Business Insight (May 22): 3 NPA leaders surrender
THREE New People’s Army leaders surrendered to the top military official in Metro Manila last week and later led government troops to a cache of rebel firearms hidden in Quirino province.
Brig. Gen. Alan Arrojado, commander of the military’s Joint Task Force National Capital Region based in Camp Aguinaldo, did not name the three but said the highest-ranked is a platoon leader in Quirino.
The two others who surrendered are a logistics officer and an instructor. Arrojado presented the three to media in Camp Aguinaldo yesterday. The faces of the three were covered for security reasons. They surrendered on May 16.
Acting on information provided by the three, forces of the JTF-NCR, the Army’s 5th Infantry Division, and the PNP went to a forested area in Sitio Kalbo, Barangay Disimungal in Nagtipunan town last Saturday to recover the buried firearms – an M653, five M16, and two M14 rifles -- which were inside plastic containers. Also recovered were ammunition, 15 sets of PNP uniforms, and 14 pairs of combat boots.
