Posted to Kalinaw News (Sep 28, 2020): Three Milisya ng Bayan surrenders through CSP efforts

JONES, Isabela — Three insurgents surrendered to the military in Quirino last September 27, 2020

The 86th Infantry Battalion’s (86IB) continuous Community Support Program efforts prompted the surrender of Milisya ng Bayan members. They belonged to the Kilusang Larangang Gerilya – Quirino – Nueva Vizcaya (KLG-Q-NV).

The 86IB has been conducting intensified information campaign on terrorist deceptive recruitment. They have also raised awareness on the government’s Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP).

These efforts encouraged the militias to turn their backs to the underground movement and return to the folds of the law.

86IB Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel Ali Alejo said, “Their voluntary surrender is contributing to the degradation of KLG-Q-NV.”

Further, Lt Col Alejo said, “This manifests the effective implementation of the Provincial and Municipal Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Struggle. It displays the spirit of oneness of all government units and agencies towards a peaceful and prosperous community.”

Furthermore, Lt Col Alejo calls upon the remaining NPA members to follow the path of their former comrades who left the senseless armed struggle; to choose the path towards a peaceful lives with their families and loved one.

The said former rebels are being debriefed. Their documents are being processed for their E-CLIP enrolment to avail the programs and benefits from the government.
