Brigadier General Laurence E Mina PA, Commander of 5ID commended the involved troops for their perseverance that lead to the eventual surrender of Ka Digbay. This significant achievement will surely affect the ICRC leadership specially its members in Ilocos and Cordillera Regions. BGen Mina also expressed his gratitude to Jacinto Faroden (Ka Digbay) for his decision to surrender. “This brave act of a top ICRC leader is a welcome development and an encouragement to the remaining NPAs to lay down their arm and live in genuine peace. If a top cadre like Ka Digbay gave up with the organization that he thought could bring social justice and equality for all then why others could not? And so, I enjoin the deceived NPAs to follow the move of Ka Digbay and choose to live in the right path,” BGen Mina said.
