TANDAG CITY, Surigao del Sur -- A squad leader of the Weakened Guerilla Front 30 (WGF30), Northeastern Mindanao Regional Committee (NEMRC) identified as alias Kakar surrendered to 7th Special Forces “Spartans” Company (7SFC), 3rd Special Forces “Arrowhead” Battalion (3SFBn) on Nov. 1 and pinpointed the location of one 5.56mm M4 Carbine Bushmaster Rifle at the hinterland of Purok Bombels, Awisan, this city. The said surrenderee is currently at the 7SFC headquarters in Mararag, Marihatag, Surigao del Sur for proper custodial debriefing.
According to Alias Kakar, 34 years old, he was recruited by a certain Otillo Galagate, a Militia ng Bayan member in barangay Tina, San Miguel, Surigao del Sur two to three years ago.
“Walay kaugmaon tungod sa korapsyon ng mga kumander (There is no future because of the corrupt commanders),” said Kakar.
He said that to be with the Communist NPA Terrorist is to live in a miserable life.
“Hindi na baling mahirap ang buhay basta kasama ko ang aking pamilya, ang anak at asawa ko,” he added.
The provincial government of Surigao del Sur’s all-out support to the Whole-of-Nation Approach to End Local Communist Armed Conflict has gained tremendous results and positive feedbacks all over the Caraga region. Recently, Surigao del Sur Governor Alexander Pimentel was appointed as the Regional Peace and Order Council Committee Chairman for his steadfast commitment in initiating various peace and development efforts in the province.
Alias Kakar along with other new surrenderees will be enrolled in the Enhanced Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) to receive benefits for choosing the path to peace. Based on the implementing rules and regulations of Administrative Order No. 10 signed by the president in 2018, Kakar, as a former rebel, is qualified to receive E-CLIP’s livelihood assistance, reintegration programs, firearms remuneration, and other benefits as provided by law for NPA surrenderees.
