Posted to Kalinaw News (Apr 9, 2022): Seven (7) NPAs with three (3) high-powered firearms surrendered in Davao Del Norte



MAWAB, Davao De Oro – Troops under the 56th Infantry Battalion of the 1003rd Infantry Brigade facilitated the surrender of seven (7) Communist NPA Terrorists (CNTs) with three (3) high-powered firearms in Talaingod, Davao Del Norte on April 8, 2022.

56IB Commander Lieutenant Colonel Osmalik Tayaban identified the surrenderors namely; alias “Mamiloy”, alias “Onyok/Thor”, alias “Trisha”, alias “Toryo/Dayan”, alias “Mars”, alias “Marvin” and alias “Dante”. They brought along with them two (2) AK47 Rifles and one (1) IMI Israel AR Galil Rifle.

BGen Consolito P Yecla, 1003rd Infantry Brigade Commander said that they attributed the surrender to the Project BOSS which stands for Bugas, Odong, Sardinas, and Sigarilyo. Project BOSS is the local peace engagement undertaken by the 1003rd Brigade to finally encourage a snowball of surrenders by connecting with the family members of the active CNTs.

Meanwhile, 10ID Commander MGen Nolasco A Mempin welcomed the new surrenderers and congratulated the efforts of the 56IB and 1003rd Brigade for their relentless push to completely clear their area of operations from the influence of the CPP-NPA. “The snowball of surrenders in Southern Mindanao is a clear manifestation that we are close in ending this 5-decade long insurgency,” MGen Mempin added.
