From the Philippine News Agency (Nov 11): 3 more rebels surrender in Agusan Del Sur
Three members of the rebel group New People's Army (NPA) have voluntarily surrendered to the military in Agusan Del Sur province.
The rebels turned over four high-powered firearms to military authorities, 4th Infantry Division public affairs office chief Capt. Joe Patrick Martinez said Friday.
Names of the rebels were withheld for security reasons.
He said one of the rebels voluntarily surrendered himself and his M-16 automatic rifle last Nov. 9, and expressed his desire to live peacefully with his family.
On Nov. 10, two more NPA members, a squad leader of Guerrilla Front 88 and a member of Guerrilla Front Committee 89, North Central Mindanao Regional Committee, also voluntarily surrendered, bringing along an AR-18 rifle, a carbine and an M-1 Garand rifle, Martinez said.
The three were assured of support through the government's rebel integration program.
