TAGO, Surigao del Sur – A Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP)-New People’s Army (NPA) Terrorist (CNT) leader identified as Jomar Martinez Mapando voluntarily surrendered to 36th Infantry “Valor” Battalion Headquarters based in Barangay Dayoan, Tago around 5:00 PM, April 6, 2019, 36IB Civil Military Operations (CMO) officer said.
Lt. Jonald Romorosa, CMO officer of 36IB, said that Mapando also known as “Peter” is a resident of Sitio San Isidro, Barangay Anilong, Rosario, Agusan del Sur. He brought with him a homemade shotgun, and a .357 pistol with ammunition and other documents with high intelligence value.
Based on the report, Mapando joined the terrorist organization when he was 17 years old out of his curiosity, aggressiveness, and adventurism. Mapando further said that he joined the NPA because of promises for monetary support and alleviation from poverty.
But when he reached 25 years old, Mapando has decided to surrender because the promise he longed for never happened.
According to Romorosa, Mapando is currently under the custody of the 36IB while he is undergoing the process of enrolling the Enhanced-Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP), the government intervention package intended for former rebels who decided to return to the government folds.
Since January 2019 up to present, a total of 75 CNT active members and supporters including Mapando have voluntarily surrendered to 36IB, it was learned.
