From the Daily Guardian (Aug 29): 103 NPA ‘sympathizers’ take oath of allegiance
Alleged supporters of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) rebels formalized their return to the fold of law at the Mabinay Gym in Negros Oriental on August 25, 2018.
The 103 supporters are reportedly residents of villages Bagtic and Luyang in Mabinay.
They took their Oath of Allegiance after they decided to renounce the CPP-NPA.
The Army’s 62nd Infantry Battalion and 15th Infantry Battalion facilitated the ceremony which was witnessed by Atty. Achilles Arturo Umbac Jr., Negros Oriental board member; and representative of the governor; Mabinay Mayor Ernie Uy, village captains and PNP and AFP officials.
Lieutenant Colonel Egberto O. Dacoscos, commanding officer of 62IB lauded the courage of the 103 individuals for standing up to the rebels.
Dacoscos said that this is the result of the close coordination and collaboration of the security sector, government agencies, local government units, and the general public as well as their efforts for localized peace talks with the CPP-NPA in the region.
Colonel Alberto O. Desoyo, Commander 303rd Infantry Brigade, expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the people of Mabinay.
“The people are now starting to realize the true nature and objective of the terrorist organization which is to sow terror and hinder progress. The parents should be responsible in educating their children help in stopping the recruitment activities of the CPP-NPA rebels,” Desoyo added.
