CLAVERIA, Misamis Oriental, Sept. 6 - An active member of the New People’s Army who is also a commander of certain terrorist group surrendered with one high powered firearm to 58th Infantry ‘Dimalulupig’ Battalion just this month due to ruthlessness of his former comrades.
Robert Bangcong alias "Prats," a vice commander of SRSDG MTJ, Sub-Regional Committee 1 (SRC1), Northern Central Mindanao Region Command (NCMRC) and a resident of Carp Village, Barangay Umagos, Lagonglong, Misamis Oriental said that he returned to the folds of the law because of an inhumane act of his former comrade towards the cadaver of alias "Cyril" who happened to be his fiancee. He brought along with him one AK47 with defaced serial number.
Meanwhile, the Dimalulupig troopers headed by Lt. Col. Ricky L. Canatoy, Commanding Officer of 58IB, welcomed the new surrenderree and encourage the remaining NPA members to abandon the armed struggle.
“To alias Prats, we extend our deepest condolences to what had happened to his wife. If only the NPAs permitted her to rest and go back to the mainstream society, we could avoid this kind of unnecessary sacrifices of lives. However, if they insist to go against the government and continue to spoil the peace, we will do the best we can to hit them hard," Canatoy said.
"To the NPAs It is a high time for you to leave the terrorist group and avail the government’s Enhanced Comprehensive and Local Integration Program. We welcome anyone who desires to lay down his arm and return to the folds of the law. Rest assured that the Philippine Army will assist you as you start your new life in the mainstream society,” he added. (58IB)
