THREE former members of the New People’s Army voluntarily surrendered to the 2nd Provincial Mobile Force Company (PMFC) in Northern Samar Wednesday, August 18, 2021.
Colonel Arnel Apud, director of Northern Samar Police Provincial Office, identified the rebel surrenderers as alias Alvin, a chairman of Barangay Organizing Party (BPO); alias Alvin, vice-chairman of BPO; and alias Raskie, a full-time member of SDG Probinsya.
Their operating areas included Pambujan, Las Navas, and Silvino Lubos.
According to Apud, the former rebels “pledged to cooperate” with the authorities.
The police official added the government “is willing to extend help and assistance to those who returned to the folds of the law.”
“Your step in trusting our Office towards your peaceful desires and for the future of your families is appreciated,” Apud said.
The surrender was facilitated through Major Seth Mark Alob, force commander of 2nd PMFC, and Regional Intelligence Unit-Eastern Visayas. (SunStar Philippines)
