Two members of the New People's Army--one 18-year-old and one woman-- surrendered over the Holy Week, the 3rd Special Forces Battalion has said.
Those who surrendered were only identified by their aliases Joy and Rosman.
Joy, a resident of San Agustin, Surigao del Sur and supposedly a medic of the Northeastern Mindanao Regional Committee, surrendered on Holy Wednesday and turned over to the military an M-1 rifle, a shotgun and medical supplies.
Eighteen-year-old Rosman, a resident Lianga, Surigao del Sur and supposedly also a member of the NEMRC, surrendered on Maundy Thursday.
He also turned over to the military an M-16 rifle.
The military said Joy was only 16 years old when she was recruited into the NPA. It said this was a violation of the International Humanitarian Law.
It added that Joy surrendered after her boyfriend, an NPA rebel, was arrested on April 14.
