CAMP CAPINPIN, Tanay, Rizal – 4 members of NPA surrenders anew, early afternoon of October 2, 2021, to the authorities in the province of Quezon.
According to sources, the surrender that happened at 1:30 p.m. yesterday was a direct result of the information campaigns conducted by the 1st Infantry Battalion of the 2nd Infantry Division, Philippine Army through the direction of the Municipal Task Force ELCAC of General Nakar in the province of Quezon.
The surrenderers who were all residents of the municipality of General Nakar were members of Guerilla Front NARCISO of Sub-Regional Military Area-4A of the Southern Tagalog Regional Party Committee yielded one Garand Rifle; one Shotgun; and one Caliber .38 Revolver, and all with ammunitions.
Major General Rowen S Tolentino the commander of the 2nd Infantry Division, Philippine Army lauded the troops as well as the LGU of General Nakar for their continuous sterling achievements saying "Sa 1st IB, well done and keep up the good work. Sa amin naman pong iginagalang na Punong Bayan ng General Nakar sa probinisya po ng Quezon, marami pong salamat sa inyong pakikiisa sa programang pangkapayapaan. Saludo po ako sa inyong lahat".
It can be recalled, that just almost a week ago, when an NPA ammunition cache was discovered in the area, Honorable Eliseo R Ruzol Sr., appealed to his constituents to support their municipal task force to eradicate the insurgency problem of their town. With the new surrender, seemingly the plea of the said official was favorably considered and acted upon by the town folks of General Nakar, Quezon. And with the current trend, it is not far-fetch, the insurgency problem will be eradicated in just a matter of time.
