Four members of the New People’s Army (NPA) – Leonardo Panaligan Command surrendered to the Philippine Army in Guihulngan City in Negros Oriental.
Captain Ramond Jamisal, Civil-Military Operations officer of the 62nd Infantry Battalion, identified them as Jone “Dim/Dem” Alfuerto, Deito “Mar” Ferolino, Snooky “Noky” Mejio, and Rodrigo Fat.
They were all members of the Komiteng Rehiyon-Negros/Cebu/Bohol/Siquijor of the Communist Party of the Philippines, Jamisal said.
The four insurgents surrendered to officials of the Guihulngan City Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (CTF-ELCAC).
Alfuerto and Mejio also turned over their .38-caliber revolvers to local authorities.
In a separate statement, Mayor Carlo Jorge Joan Reyes Guihulngan City said they now have six former NPA insurgents in custody as well as 25 NPA supporters.
Reyes said they expect more to follow as other insurgents are now in contact with them expressing their intention to also surrender to the authorities.
“These waves of victories are what will ultimately become the tidal wave to wipe out insurgency in the city,” Reyes said.
He added: “It is a cataclysmic change fueled by the cooperation of an awakened citizenry and the might of all the government agencies comprising the CTF-ELCAC.”/
