From the Mindanao Examiner (Nov 4, 2021): Army says 8 rebels yield in South
The Philippine military on Thursday announced the surrender of eight communist rebels to security forces in Mindanao, adding them to 105 insurgents who have returned to the fold of the law since January this year.
Photos released by the military's Western Mindanao Command headquarters in Zamboanga City show the surrendered New People's Army rebels.
Army Maj. Gen. Alfredo Rosario Jr., chief of the Western Mindanao Command headquarters here, said the rebels were members of the New People’s Army (NPA) and also yielded four rifles and two shotguns during their surrender on Wednesday in Sultan Kudarat’s Isulan town.
He said the rebels surrendered to the 7th Infantry Battalion under Lt. Col. Romel Valencia and the provincial police. “I would like to congratulate our Joint Task Force Central for this accomplishment. I am well aware of your efforts to end terrorism and insurgency in Central Mindanao. Your numerous successes are the rewards of your sacrifices. For that, I once again congratulate you all,” Rosario said in a statement.
Rosario also quoted Valencia’s report and said: “Their successful surrender is attributable to the collaborative efforts of the 7th Infantry Battalion, Bagumbayan PNP, Senator Ninoy Aquino PNP, and Sultan Kudarat Provincial Police Office.”The NPA, armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines, has been fighting for many decades now for the establishment of a Maoist state in the country.
