2 more rebels surrender to Army in Negros Oriental

From the Philippine News Agency (May 14): 2 more rebels surrender to Army in Negros Oriental

Two more New People's Army (NPA) fighters have voluntarily surrendered to the 79th Infantry Battalion in Negros Oriental.

This took place last May 12, a belated report forwarded by 3rd Infantry Division spokesperson Major Ray Tiongson said.

He identified the surrenderees as "Dagul", 21 and "Ivan", 29 for security reasons.

Tiongson said the two are members of Squad 3, Sentro de Grabidad Platoon, South East Front, KR-Negros operating in the areas of Pamplona, San Jose and boundaries of Sta. Catalina and Siaton, Negros Oriental.

He added that pair decided to surrender to give their families a better future.

Tiongson stressed that the two were also convinced by reports of other former NPAs fighters who are now living peacefully and productively with their families.
