Kalinaw News: Deceived at a young age, NPA member surrenders, yields firearms to 25IB

Posted to Kalinaw News (Aug 22, 2020): Deceived at a young age, NPA member surrenders, yields firearms to 25IB
Monkayo, Davao de Oro- A High-ranking and Five-year NPA rebel named as Alias Ading, 21 years old, surrendered to 25th Infantry Battalion and yields one (1) M16 rifle, one (1) M653 rifle and six (6) magazines with fifty-eight (58) ammunitions at Camp Kalaw, Poblacion, Monkayo, Davao de Oro today, 22 August 2020.

The surrender of Alias Ading was neutralized through the effort of 1st Lt. Desmond E. Castillo Philippine Army, Delta Company Commander and Intel Operatives of this unit.
Alias Ading was recruited by the CPP-NPA-NDF at the age of 16 years old and was early deceived by their wrong ideologies. At a young age, he has been placed on a high-ranking position inside the Communist Terrorist Group and before he surrendered, he was the Vice Commander of WGF25, North Front. After supporting the NPA for five years, he soon realized that his commitment in joining the NPA has never brought him any help. After experiencing hardships, hunger, tiredness and homesickness inside, he decided to return to the government’s side and live in a peaceful and harmonious environment together with his family.

“Sa sulod wala makaon tungod gina gukod sa sundalo. Nagsurrender ko kay gimingaw na ko sa akong pamilya ug tungod sa pasalig sa armado nga wala matuman.” said Alias Ading expressing his regret in joining the NPA.

“These NPA Rebels are inhuman enough to recruit and brainwash the youths at a very young age. The CNT’s recruitment of minors have blatantly disregarded and violated the International Humanitarian Law (IHL). They take away these children from their parents to make them revolutionary fighters and build their hatred against the government.” said Lt. Col. Asnawi P. Muti Philippine Army, Battalion Commander of 25IB.

The Youth must be protected from the clutches of the Communist Terrorists and must be given special attention by their parents, who are the front liners of their defense and to keep them away from terrorist group who continues to deceive and bring the youth in the verge of armed struggle and eventually ruining their lives.

Alias Ading will undergo comprehensive debriefing, will be enrolled to Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) and will be given proper assistance by the Local Government Unit of Davao de Oro.
