A member of the rebel group New People’s Army voluntarily
surrendered to the military camp
Sunday afternoon, the
military reported Monday.
Capt. Lorenzo B. Siobal, Jr. of the army 403rd Brigade,
identified the surrendered rebel as Rodie Jhon Carlo Caneos, a.k.a. Maxx, 20,
who also brought along with him an AK-47 rifle with two magazines loaded with
60 rounds of ammunition.
Siobal said Caneos turned himself to the Charlie Company of
the army 58th Infantry Battalion (58IB) stationed in the village of Umagos
in Lagonglong, Misamis Oriental.
Caneos was immediately brought to 58IB headquarters in
Claveria, Misamis Oriental for debriefing.
Siobal said that Cañeos decided to abandon the armed
struggle because of hardship in the mountains and his growing concern for the
safety and welfare of his family.
Col. Jessie Alvarez, commander of the army 403IB, said that
more rebels would lay down their arms in the coming days because of the
increasing frustrations and ongoing conflict in the rebel organization.
