From Panay News (Oct 16, 2021): Hardships drive NPA rebel to surrender
Difficult conditions while being with the New People’s Army (NPA) prompted a rebel to voluntarily surrendered to the police and military in Tibiao, Antique on Oct. 13.
According to Ka Nonoy, 25, he was constantly hungry because there was not enough food.
He hardly had enough sleep, too, he said, and they did not have medicines to take when they got sick.
He also sorely missed his family, according to Ka Nonoy whose group, he said, operated in the central areas of Iloilo province.
His NPA group was F14, Squad 3 of Sentro de Gravidad Platoon Baloy 1, Central Front Committee of Komite Rehiyon Panay.
According to Ka Nonoy, he was recruited to the underground movement by a certain “Ka Mario” in 2017.
He was made to hold various posts – Finance and Logistics Officer, Assistant Squad Leader and Medical Officer.
He also admitted having participated in several clashes with government troops.
In June this year, Ka Nonoy decided to leave the group. He was encouraged by his family. He brought with him a .45 pistol with eight live ammunition.
The following helped facilitate Ka Nonoy’s safe surrender – Tibiao police station, Regional Intelligence Unit 6, Sebaste police station, 2nd Antique Police Mobile Force Company and the 31st Military Intelligence Company of the Philippine Army.
Ka Nonoy is currently in the custody of the Regional Intelligence Unit 6 for assessment, validation and documentation.
