Posted to Kalinaw News (Aug 22, 2020): KM Youth organizer, medic of NPA surrendered, yields firearm to government troops
BALER, Aurora- A youth organizer of Kabataang Makabayan (KM) and a medic of Kilusang Larangang Guerilla (KLG) Sierra Madre of the New People’s Army (NPA) surrendered to 91st Infantry (Sinagtala) Battalion, Philippine Army, PNP and Philippine Air Force on Friday (August 21, 2020) afternoon.

LTC REANDREW P RUBIO INF (GSC) PA, Commanding Officer of the 91st Infantry (Sinagtala) Battalion, Philippine Army said that the surenderee was 21 years old, who sought refuge to the government troops with the help of the community.
LTC RUBIO identified the surrenderee as Ka Katrina, who’s complete biographical datas are still unknown.

“Ka Katrina surrendered at Barangay Diaat, Maria Aurora, Aurora armed with one defaced M14 rifle with one magazine loaded with 10 rounds of live ammunitions,” LTC RUBIO said.

He added that the surrender of NPA medic from KLG SIERRA MADRE signifies that said group is now losing and on the run due to series of neutralization of its members including its supporters.

“We will continue to intensify our operations in collaboration with PNP to pressure the NPA bandits and force them to abandon the armed struggle,” RUBIO said.

Ka Katrina is now under the custody of 91IB at Barangay Calabuanan, Baler, Aurora for proper documentation and custodial debriefing.

“Krisis sa sarili sa paghahanap ng nakasanayang buhay sa labas ng pagiging sibilyan. Hirap ng gawain sa bundok at napagtimbang-timbang kung ano ang mangyayari kung mananatili sa maling pag-armas kaya po ako nagbalik-loob sa pamahalaan,” Ka Katrina said.
