NPA rebel yields to Roxas City cops

From Panay News (Sep 9, 2020): NPA rebel yields to Roxas City cops

A member of the New People’s Army (NPA) voluntarily surrendered to police authorities in in the town of President Roxas, Capiz.

The 25-year old surrenderer also known as “Nonoy” and “Ka Alan” brought with him a hand grenade when he recently yielded to the personnel of the Pres. Roxas municipal police station (PRMPS) to live a normal and peaceful life.

Town police chief Captain Rachelle Garnica said the surrender of “Ka Alan” was through the effort of the Regional Intelligence Unit 6 under the supervision of Major Delfin Tan with the assistance of the 1st Capiz Provincial Mobile Force Company Intelligence Officer Lieutenant Jay Lagan, and President Roxas mayor Receliste Escolin.

“The exhausted NPA rebel decided to surrender after he realized that he was deceived by the terrorist group and already tired of living a miserable life in the mountain,” Garnica said.

This simply shows that the anti-insurgency campaign of local authorities is doing well in the province, she added.

Alias “Nonoy,” who is now in the RIU6 custody, claimed that he was a member of Eastern Front Nonito Aguirre Command under Ka Pedic, Ka Reagan and Romeo Ganggoso.

Last March, the Capiz Police Provincial Office has also presented before local tri-media practitioners alias “Art” who was then a rebel red fighter but surrendered and returned to the folds of law as a result of the intensified and comprehensive conduct of intelligence and information operation by the police operatives in coordination with the 61st Infantry Battalion of the Philippine Army and the Barangay Intelligence Networks.

Alias “Art” said to the media that he surrendered because he could no longer bear the hardship, starvation, lack of security and hopelessness in the mountains.

The surrender of Ka Art and Ka Alan took place as the government is implementing the “Whole-of-Nation” approach to End Local Communist Armed Conflict in order to attain inclusive and sustainable peace and development.

The surrenderers will be enrolled to the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program so they can start the soonest possible time a new and better life.
