4,356 NPA, supporters surrender to gov't
CAMP AGUINALDO, Quezon City –
The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has recorded 4,356 regular
members and supporters of the New People's Army (NPA) who surrendered
nationwide from 01 January to 15 March 2018.
The figure is composed of 626 NPA
regulars and Sangay sa Partido Lokal (SPL) or local party members and
3,730 Militia ng Bayan (MB), Underground Mass Organization (UGMO)
members and mass supporters. Majority of surrenders happened in eastern
Mindanao particularly in the regions of Davao and CARAGA totalling 96%
or 4,194.
The massive surrenders of NPAs and their
supporters were attributed to the combined focused military operations,
intelligence efforts, civil-military operations, re-integration
efforts, peace and development programs of the AFP and PNP; and the
intense campaign of Local Government Units in convincing their
constituents who are members and supporters of the NPA to go back to
mainstream society.
The AFP expects more surrenders as
former rebels and supporters divulge corruption and deception inside the
CPP-NPA. Revelations from former rebels disclosed that most of them
were deceived into believing the propaganda and false promises of their
leaders.
The former rebels warn would be recruits
not to fall on the pattern of deception being done by the NPA
terrorists and call on their former comrades to take the peaceful path
to change.
The AFP assures the public that focused
military operations against communist terrorists will continue to
protect the people and vulnerable communities from terrorist atrocities.
