Three members of the communist New People’s Army (NPA) have surrendered to the police over the weekend, the Police Regional Office in Caraga Region (PRO-13) said in a statement Sunday.
The report said the three NPAs turned themselves in at the headquarters of the Surigao del Sur 2nd Provincial Mobile Force Company in Barangay Telaje, Tandag City, on Nov. 9.
Brig. Gen. Joselito Esquivel Jr., PRO-13 director, identified the three rebels only as alias “Bunso”, 21 years old; alias “Francis”, 51; and alias “Lion”, 24.
Both “Bunso” and “Francis” are residents of Barangay Magroyong, San Miguel town, Surigao del Sur and members of the NPA's Guerrilla Front Committee 30 (GFC-30), police said.
“Lion” is a resident of Purok Mam-on, Barangay Tubo-tubo, Cagwait, Surigao del Sur, and a political instructor of the NPA's Guerrilla Front 19 in the area, police said.
Esquivel said the surrender of the three NPAs was the result of the series of negotiations conducted by PRO-13 personnel.
He said the rebels also surrendered to the PNP several bomb-making materials, a .38-caliber revolver, and other NPA paraphernalia.
Esquivel urged the remaining NPAs in the region to return to the fold of the law and avail of the government's Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (ECLIP).
“Our government is extending hands to them (NPAs) with an optimal objective of lasting peace in the country,” the PRO-13 chief said.
