TUGUEGARAO CITY, Cagayan, Dec. 30 (PIA) - - Two rebel-returnees from Piat town, in this province, surrendered some teaching materials and other significant documents of the New Peoples Army (NPA) to the Philippine National Police (PNP) Cagayan today, Dec. 30.

'Ka Rudy' and 'Ka Jerry', not their real names and who are both from the Henry Abraham Command of the NPA, returned to the fold of the law early this year. The two, however, did not surrender any document and firearms at the time of their surrender, according to the Cagayan Police Provincial Office.

Police Colonel Ariel Narag Quilang, PNP Cagayan officer-in-charge, said the two rebel-returnees, who later became their assets, decided to voluntary surrender the said materials today which they used when they were still part of the movement.

Among the surrendered documents include books and various reference materials on communism and rebellion, movement-produced newspapers, teachings written on a manila paper, among others.

Quilang said the two rebel-returnees' voluntarily surrender of the materials was attributed to the recently conducted Cagayan Indignation Rally and the intensified campaign of the PNP and other concerned agencies to End Local Communist and Armed Conflict in the province.

Alias Ka Rudy revealed that the surrendered paraphernalia were used in teaching NPA doctrines among newly recruits especially the youth sector.

On the other hand, the provincial director added that the PNP Cagayan is committed to support Executive Order No. 70 to attain a peaceful, safe, and communist- and terrorist-free Cagayan.

"We are on the process of creating Municipal Task Force to End Local Communist and Armed Conflict. As of now, 26 mayors have already signified their support to pass an executive order and we are just waiting for the three other mayors," Quilang said.

"Our local chief executives and local officials are very supportive and committed to end local insurgency. Actually, all of them already passed an ordinance declaring NPAs as Persona Non Grata in their locality," he added. (ALM/MDCT/PIA-2)
