From the Philippine Information Agency (Dec 24, 2020): Rebel commander regrets joining NPA (By Jan Vincent Leuterio)
27 members of Guerrilla Front 33 surrenders to the government
DAVAO DEL NORTE, Dec. 18 (PIA) – The commander of Guerrilla Front 33 of the New People’s Army (NPA) has regretted joining the rebellion.
During the Press Conference held at the Total Surrender of Guerilla Front 33 on December 17, 2020 at 1001st Infantry Battalion Camp in Brgy Mapaang, Maco, Davao de Oro, Guerilla Front 33 commander, Khan (alias), said that joining the NPA is not the solution for poverty.
“Sayop jud ang paggunit nato sa pusil. Sayop jud ang pagsulod nato sa kalihokan kay dili ni siya pwede nga pamaagi aron masulbad nato ang problema sa atong nasud (It was a mistake to pick up those guns. It was truly a mistake that we entered the rebellion because this is not the way to solve our problem in our country),” he said.
He added that despite the P1million monthly revenue generated from extortion, the higher-ups of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) failed to provide them with the right budget to take care of their family.
“Sakit man gud sa akong buot nga ang among pamilya, among mga anak dili namo makuyog sa pila ka tuig. Dili nako madawat nganong nag-antos mi ani nga kalihokan (It pained me that for how many years we couldn’t be with our families, our children. I can’t accept why we suffered for this rebellion),” Khan said.
With this, he called on to those left behind in the rebellion to return to the hands of the government.
“Dili jud ta mag-antos sa sulod kay wala jud tay kaugmaon… Naa diri ang atong kaugmaon sa gawas pinaagi sa tabang sa gobyerno (We have no reason to suffer in there because there’s no future…our future is here outside with the help of the government),” he said.
Kahn, along with 26 other members of the Guerilla Front 33, surrendered after having an encounter with the 60th Infantry Battalion at New Corella last December 12, 2020.
Governor Edwin I. Jubahib gave P10,000 cash, 10 sacks of rice, and bihon to each of the surrenderees.
As well, they are expected to be recipients of the Jubahib’s livelihood and service programs in line with Executive Order No. 70 (EO 70) Ending Local Communist Armed Conflict (ELCAC).
In addition, another P10,000 each and livelihood will be given by Governor Jayvee Tyrone Uy in Davao de Oro, and Mayor Jorjan Federiso in New Corella.
Furthermore, 1st District Congressman Pantaleon Alvarez will lead the giving of skills training, scholarships, and medicine. (lifted from PICKMO Davao del Norte/Jan Vincent Leuterio, PIA XI)
