From the Manila Bulletin (Mar 10, 2023): NPA rebel, supporter surrender in Iloilo (By TARA YAP)
ILOILO CITY – A New People’s Army (NPA) rebel and supporter surrendered to the police in Calinog town, Iloilo province.
The Police Regional Office (PRO) 6 (Western Visayas) identified the surrenderers as NPA rebel Ronnel Jimenez Camarig and NPA supporter Dionisio Lorca Leysa.
They heeded the call of the Regional Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (RTF-ELCAC) to return to the fold of the law.
"PRO-6, together with RTF-ELCAC and other concerned authorities, have continuously encouraged remaining supporters of the communist terrorists and contribute in securing and ensuring lasting peace and order to the communities,” said Brig. Gen. Leo Francisco, PRO-6 director.
The 25-year-old Camarig turned over two homemade 12-gauge shotguns, a homemade single shotgun without ammunition, and an improvised explosive device (IED).
Farmer Leysa had been providing support to NPA rebels in the area.
They are now enrolled in the government’s Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP).
