Alias “Jay jay”, 27 years old, is the designated medic of the Platoon Uno of Komiteng Larangan Guerilla Quirino-Nueva Vizcaya and number 14 in the list of target wanted persons last year.
Brigadier General Laurence E. Mina, commander of the 502nd Brigade, said the voluntary surrender of “Jay jay” is attributed to the massive campaign of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police in compliance to the thrust of the present administration to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (ELCAC).
He also commended the involved troops for their significant accomplishment in the achievement of peace and security not only in the province but in the whole region as well.
"The voluntary surrender of “Jay jay” is considered a big distress to the rebel groups and a clear manifestation of the degrading strength of the communist terrorists touring in the region. We are performing at our finest to condemn the atrocities of the communist movement and we continue to encourage the public to report any suspicious activities to the respective authorities to contribute in this fight against communist insurgency,” Mina said.

“Jayjay” also surrendered one caliber 38 revolver with six ammunitions, two hand grenades, two pieces of 40mm ammunitions, and one back pack containing first aid kit with acupuncture paraphernalia and personal belongings.
For his part, Major General Pablo M. Lorenzo, commander of the 5th Infantry Division, urged other members of the rebel groups to return into the fold of the law and live peacefully together with their families.
“The Communist NPA terrorists in Cagayan Valley are in disarray and inconsequential to the point that many of them are abandoning the armed struggle to topple our democratic government," Lorenzo said, adding that “Jayjay” and the former rebels made the correct and life-changing decisions to join the mainstream society in order to live peacefully and have productive lives that everyone deserves.
Lorenzo further called on the remaining NPA members to lay down their arms and avail the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (ECLIP) of the government with the assurance that anyone who will be surrendering will be accepted with open arms by the caring sand supportive government and the society.
