From Panay News (Feb 15, 2022): 3 rebels surrender in Sagay (By DOMINIQUE GABRIEL G. BAÑAGA)

Three New People’s Army (NPA) rebels surrendered to the 6th Special Action Battalion (SAB) in Sagay City, Negros Occidental.

They were couple Ka Nike and Ka Aiza, and Ka Allan.

Nike and Aiza brought with them their two-year-old child.

According to Police Lieutenant Colonel Ryan Manongdo, commander of the 6th SAB, Nike and Allan also turned over to the authorities their .45 caliber pistols.

Aiza didn’t have a firearm; she was not a combatant but a medic of the insurgents.

According to Nike and Aiza, they wanted to give their child a better life and future.

Allan, on the other hand, said he became disgruntled that nothing good was happening with the fight against the government.

The three are scheduled to meet Sagay City mayor Alfredo “Thirdy” Marañon III this week and receive aid from the government through the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP).

Police Lieutenant Abegael Donasco, spokesperson for the Negros Occidental Police Provincial Office, said their officer-in-charge Police Colonel Leo Pamittan was elated with the surrender of the three.
