CAMP BANCASI, Butuan City – A New People’s Army (NPA) platoon commander, his wife, and a regular guerilla fighter surrendered to a field unit of the 58th Infantry Battalion (58th IB) in Misamis Oriental over the weekend, said 58th IB Civil Military Operations (CMO) Officer First Lt. Jefferson M. Mariano on Monday.

The NPA platoon commander and his wife, who was a medical officer, decided to yield to the government forces because they wanted to raise their family outside the Communist movement, the 58th IB CMO officer said.

The three NPA rebels surrendered two high-powered firearms, assorted ammunitions, subversive documents and a laptop used in the communist movement. Meanwhile, 58th IB commanding officer Lt. Col. Ricky L. Canatoy said the series of surrenders among the NPA ranks in Misamis Oriental province and neighboring areas was “a strong indication” that the Communist terrorists movement was “on the brink of collapse.”
