2 rebels surrender in Saranggani

From the Philippine News Agency: 2 rebels surrender in Saranggani

Tired of fighting, two members of the New People's Army (NPA) surrendered to troopers of the 72nd Infantry Battalion, a field unit of the 10th Infantry Division, in Malugon, Saranggani last Aug. 22.

Belated reports from Capt. Raul Villagas, 10th Infantry Division spokesperson, identified the surrendered rebels as Jun Calatao Balungan, 27, and Efren Ambong, 43.

Both men surrendered to military two .30-caliber Springfield rifles, 13 rounds of ammunition and a fragmentation grenade.

Villegas said that two men are members of the NPA's Yunit Militia operating in Sitio Consolacion, Barangay Banahaw, Malugon town.

The rebels said they got tired of fighting for the rebel movement whom, they said, at times operated just like a bandit group.
