Olongapo City, Zambales — Two individuals believed to be members of the New People's Army operating in this region voluntarily surrendered to the authorities and turned over their firearms and ammunitions to the police over the weekend.
According to the Police Regional Office 3, the NPA fighter operating in Zambales known as "Ka Alex" turned himself in to police and handed over a cal. 38 revolver with ammunition, a 40mm M203 grenade ammunition, one meter of detonating cord and subversive documents.
Additionally, an inactive NPA member from Barrio identified as alias "Jess" voluntarily surrendered to the police, turning over a cal .38 revolver without serial number and a rifle grenade on Saturday.
In the province of Bataan, two members of the communist front organization Kalipunan ng Damayang Mahihirap linked to CPP-NPA formally withdrew their support from their former group.
They pledged their allegiance to the government, sealing their commitment by surrendering a Cal .38 revolver as a symbol of their loyalty to the authorities.
Over at Pampanga, "Ka Maria" of Alyansa ng mga Magbubukid sa Gitnang Luzon-Kilusang Magbukid ng Pilipinas took an oath of allegiance to the government before police authorities last 16 September 2023.
