2 NPA fighters yield in Zambo Sur

From the Philippine News Agency (Mar 11, 2022): 2 NPA fighters yield in Zambo Sur (By Teofilo Garcia, Jr.)

Two combatants of the New People’s Army (NPA) have surrendered to the government authorities in Zamboanga del Sur as they wish to live safe and peaceful lives, a top police official said Friday.

Col. Diomarie Albarico, Zamboanga del Sur police director, identified the NPA surrenderers as Douglas Anoan Enlab alias Ka Dong, 56, and Jonar Mantao Enlab alias Nard, 27.

Albarico said the two surrendered around 2 p.m. Thursday at the municipal police station of Dumingag, Zamboanga del Sur.

The Enlabs used to operate under the Barrio Revolutionary Committee (BRC) of the Guerrilla Front Big Beautiful Country (GF-BBC) of the NPA’s Western Mindanao Regional Party Committee (WMRPC), Albarico said.

He said the two were recruited by Martino Ayas alias Naser, a team leader of Team Baking, Squad 2, of GF-BBC, and served as look out and courier of the group.

The two surrenderers were placed under the custody of Bonifacio Enlab, the barangay chairperson of Dilud, Dumingag for their eventual reintegration to the community, the police official said.

The Communist Party of the Philippines-NPA is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States, European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the Philippines.

The Anti-Terrorism Council also formally designated the NDF as a terrorist organization on June 23, 2021, citing it as “an integral and inseparable part” of the CPP-NPA that was created in April 1973.
