The surrender of 15 more New People’s Army rebels, who also brought with them several firearms and an explosive, indicates the continued collapse of the local terrorist group in Negros Island, disclosed 303rd Infantry Brigade commander, Col. Orlando Edralin.
In a statement, Edralin congratulated the 15 former rebels, who are members of the Central Negros 2 Sentro De Grabidad Platoon, for making the brave move and correct decision to return to the folds of the law.
The 15 former rebels also surrendered to the 94th Infantry Battalion one M4 rifle assault rifle, two caliber .38 revolvers, a homemade 12-gauge shotgun, and a rifle grenade on February 18 in Ayungon, Negros Oriental.
Edralin said that the 15 former rebels were just victims of the propaganda, lies, and deceptive recruitment of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army- National Democratic Front (CPP-NPA-NDF).
He called on other rebel remnants in Negros to follow their 15 former comrades, to also avail of the Enhanced-Comprehensive Livelihood Integration Program (E-CLIP) of the government.
Edralin also commended the tireless efforts of 94IB and other AFP and PNP units, in encouraging and facilitating the surrender of 15 former rebels.
