From the Philippine News Agency (Apr 4, 2022): 2 NPA ‘couriers’ surrender in Zamboanga del Sur (By Teofilo Garcia, Jr.)
Two New People’s Army (NPA) couriers surrendered and have pledged allegiance to the government in the Zamboanga del Sur, a top police official said Monday.
Col. Diomarie Albarico, provincial police director, identified the NPA surrenderers as Emeliana Ansegue and Melvin Gose. They both surrendered last Friday afternoon in Barangay Lower Landing, Dumingag town.
Albarico said Ansegue is the chairperson of the Barrio Revolutionary Committee (BRC) while Gose is a member of the same rebel unit in Barangay Dilud, Dumingag.
The BRC is under the Front Committee Big Beautiful Country of the NPA’s Western Mindanao Regional Party Committee.
Albarico said Ansegue and Gose disclosed they served as lookouts and couriers for the NPA rebels.
He said the two surrenderers took an oath of allegiance administered by Dumingag Mayor Joan Pacalioga Abejuela, chairperson of the Municipal Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (MTF-ELCAC).
Ansegue and Gose were placed under the custody of Dilud barangay chairperson, Bonifacio Enlab, as they undergo reintegration process before they return to the mainstream society.
The Communist Party of the Philippines-NPA is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States, the 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 separate part” of the CPP-NPA that was created in April 1973.
