ZAMBOANGA CITY – A courier of the communist New People’s Army (NPA) has surrendered to authorities in Zamboanga Sibugay province after three years with the rebel group, a police official said Thursday.

Col. Eduard Mallo, the provincial police director, said Albert Tinaypan yielded around 11:50 a.m. Wednesday at the municipal police station of Titay.


Tinaypan, 42, surrendered following a series of negotiations by the Titay police station together with the Regional Intelligence Unit-Zamboanga Peninsula (RIU-9) and Regional Investigation Division-9.

Investigation showed that Tinaypan was recruited into the NPA by a certain Ka Alice in 2019. He served as a courier of food and medicine supplies for the NPA Guerrilla Front-13, Western Mindanao Regional Party Committee.

The surrenderer was placed under custodial debriefing and released to village officials for reintegration back into mainstream society.
