MARAMAG, Bukidnon- 3 NPA members with firearms surrendered to the 88th Infantry “Maringal” Battalion at Headquarters 88IB, PA, Purok 10, South Poblacion, Maramag, Bukidnon at around 09:00 p.m. on 15 August 2020.The said surrenders were identified members of Malayag 1, Guerilla Front Malayag, SRC2, NCMRC under @RICKY. They later surrendered after they heard that 12 members of their group with 11 firearms already surrendered to the government forces last 14 August 2020.
They were identified as @Kuyaw and @Dongkoy, both regular members, and @Micheal, a Milisya ng Bayan member. They brought along with them one (1) carbine M1 Rifle, two (2) homemade shotguns, and one (1) homemade pistol revolver.
@Kuyaw said in his local dialect, “Grabe nga ka hadluk para sa among kinabuhe ang among nasinati samtang kami naa sa lasang, nahadluk me nga mangamatay sa way hinungdan nga pama-agi. Na kuyawan nasad ko kay dagan na nanurender. Mas tsada manurender nalng sad mi. (We are so scared for our lives while we are in the hinterland and forested area, we are afraid to die trivially. I was also worried that many of my comrades already surrendered. We thought that this is the best option we have now).
Previously the government troops figured in series of encounters with the members of GF Malayag in the Municipalities of San Fernando and Cabanglasan from May to the last day of July 2020 that resulted to the death and wounding of NPAs, seizure of their temporary hideouts, and the capture of numerous firearms, war materiel, and subversive documents of the said communist terrorist group.
Lt Col. Franklin Fabic, Commanding Officer of 88IB warmly welcomed the surrender of the members of GF Malayag. “I am very happy to know that more and more members of GF Malayag chose to return to the folds of the law. We encourage other members to surrender and benefit from different government programs through the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP)”
The E-CLIP is a government program for former rebels and their family members. Various interventions like Immediate Cash Assistance and Livelihood, free education and housing will be received by these members. An additional financial benefit will also be given to those who surrender their firearms. Other government agencies will also provide different interventions to the former rebels in preparation for their reintegration in the mainstream society.
“For the remaining members of the NPA terrorist group of GF Malayag led by @MIGS, surrender now and take advantage of the programs of the government for you and for your families while you still have chance. There will always be a time for reckoning. For we will not hesitate to hunt and destroy you with all our might if you choose to remain as threat to the peace-loving communities of Southern Bukidnon” Fabic added.
