MARAMAG, Bukidnon- 12 NPA members with 11 various firearms voluntarily surrendered to the 88th Infantry “Maringal” Battalion at Headquarters 88IB, PA, Purok 10, South Poblacion, Maramag, Bukidnon at around 10 p.m. on 14 August 2020.
The said Former Rebels (FRs) were identified members of Malayag 1, Guerilla Front Malayag, SRC2, NCMRC under @RICKY who are operating in the areas of Cabanglasan, Bukidnon. They were involved in the recent armed skirmishes against the government forces in the Municipality of Cabanglasan for the previous weeks that resulted in a series of losses and debacles of the communist terrorists.
The FRs were identified as @Joe, Squad leader; @Rolen (female), Squad Supply Officer; @Bayan, Team Leader; @Gaw-ay, Team Leader; @Rock, Political Guide; @Tam-is, Political Guide; @ Banog, Member; @Jack, Member; @ Dayrek, MB member; @Justin, MB member; @Junel, MB member; and @Opaw, MB member. They brought along one (1) M16A1, two (2) Garand Rifles, three (3) Carbine M1 Rifles, four (4) Homemade Shotguns, and one (1) Caliber 45 pistol.
According to @Rolen in her local dialect, “Gutom lng ug kalisud amo natagamtaman. Nahadlok sad ko sa among kauban na namatay sa enkwentro, basin mapareho kami sa iya. Dili ko gusto mamatay, daghan pako gusto himuon sa akong kinabuhi kauban sa akong anak ug pamilya.” (We only get hungry and misery, we were also scared when our colleague died in the encounter that we might be like him. I don’t want to die; I still have many things that I want to do together with my children and my family)
It can be recalled that 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 captured numerous firearms, war materiel, and subversive documents of the said communist terrorist group.
Lt Col. Franklin Fabic, Commanding Officer of 88IB welcomed the voluntary surrender of the members of GF Malayag. “I hope that @MIGS and his other members will do the same.”
“For those who choose to remain as the threat of our peaceful communities, we will not hesitate to exhaust all our capabilities to hunt and destroy you with all our might for the protection of peace-loving citizens of Southern Bukidnon” Fabic added.
