Posted to Kalinaw News (Dec 10, 2021): Female CNT member returns to the folds of the law



CAMP MELCHOR F DELA CRUZ, Upi, Gamu, Isabela- Another member of Communist NPA Terrorist returned to the folds of the law through the Isabela Provincial Task Force-End Local Communist Armed Conflict (PTF-ELCAC) in Sitio Tapigue, Barangay Ayod, Dinapigue, Isabela on December 09, 2021.

Hardships and psychological torture were the reasons why alias Gladys, 29 years old, member of Section Guerilla Unit of the Regional Sentro De Grabidad, Komiteng Rehiyon-Cagayan Valley, voluntarily surrendered to the government. She joined the Communist Terrorist Group on February 05, 2016, under the command of a certain alias Davao. However, when her comrade died in an encounter, alias Gladys then realized that she is sacrificing her life for nothing in the CTG.

Additionally, alias Gladys also learned about the voluntary surrender of her former comrades on December 7, 2021, which also made her decide to return to the folds of the law.

Members of the Isabela PTF-ELCAC immediately assisted the former rebel in her reintegration to be able to go back to mainstream society.

MGen Laurence E Mina, Commander of 5th Infantry Division, Philippine Army thanked the former rebel for her decision to abandon the terrorist group and live with the true government. “There is nothing better than to live your life with peace and comfort with your family. I will not falter in encouraging the remaining members of the CTG. Come and return to the folds of the law. Your loved ones are waiting for you and we are ready to assist you in every way we can.”
