The Police Regional Office-13 identified the surrenderer as alias "Jerwin," 34.
He turned over a caliber .45 pistol with bullets.
His surrender was facilitated by the Regional Mobile Force Battalion 13 headed by Police Col. Harry B. Domingo, force commander, through the help of the community.
The rebel returnee was a commander of Abe, Squad 2, Platoon 1 of Guerrilla Front 88, Sub-Regional Committee of the Communist Party of the Philippines-NPA North Central Mindanao Regional Committee (NCMRC) and listed in the Periodic Status Report (PSR), PRO-13 Director Police Brig. Gen. Pablo G. Labra II said.
“We are hopeful that more of his former comrades would follow his footstep to return to the folds of the law,” Labra said.
“I commend the efforts made by our police force in convincing our brother who was once blinded by a ruthless and irrelevant ideology,” Labra added.
