Two more rebels embrace 8ID’s call to surrender
Tacloban City (November 2 2010) – Two (2) more rebels operating in the hinterlands of Northern Samar voluntarily gave up their ideology in the morning of October 28, 2010.
This is in line with the standing call of the Army’s 8th Infantry Division to the New People’s Army (NPA) to lay down their arms and return to the mainstream society to re-experience the genuine democracy, Lt. Col. Noel Vestuir of the 8th ID informed.

Alias Noli and alias Speed, whose identity are still undisclosed as of press time, are brothers and both residing in Barangay Balud, Silvino Lobos town. These were revealed through custodial debriefing conducted by the 8ID.

Lt. Col. Vestuir said that in an initial report from the 8ID’s 803rd Infantry Brigade, Noli and Speed are both under the leadership of a certain alias “Pruding” of Northern Samar Provincial Party Committee (NSPPC).

The duo also revealed that the NSPPC is now experiencing unstable operations because of the impact of the recent major engagement transpired between 8ID troopers and their groups all around the Samar Island.

It can be recalled that weeks ago, enemy main camp and numbers of encampments and safe houses fell in the hands of the 8ID troopers following the intensified combat operations including the recovery of assorted high powered fire arms, war material caches, piles of food stuffs, medical paraphernalia, personal belongings, subversive document and other materials that greatly impacted their underground operations in the distant barrios.

“Guikukuri-i an kabutangan didto. Tikang sa pagka-engkwentro sa makaduru-dulain nga among mga kausa sa naglabay nga mga semana, baga nagkasamok, samok na sa sulod ngan nawara na liwat an am nga butang na am guingagamit sa am operasyon”, the duo disclosed.

(Our situation gets worse inside. It started after the encounter of our different groups against the government troops. It resulted to misunderstanding between our ranks and our important materials used for operations were also lost.)

“Damo ba gad an naruruyag sa am grupo nga sumorender kay damo na an nagkukuri sa solod. Naawa man an kadam-an sa am sa nahinabo sa am kausa na maupay na an kabutangan dihan sa gawa”, the duo added.

(Many of our members really wanted to surrender because it is really difficult inside. Most of them feel envy to others who earlier surrendered and now having a good life in the open.)

Meanwhile, 8 ID commander Major General Mario Chan expressed his appreciation to Silvino Lobos Mayor Edmund Guillamac who is also responsible for the surrender of the said rebels. He further acknowledged the good partnership between the local government and the Army for common good of the people.

Furthermore, Major General Chan reiterated his call to the members of the underground movement to lay down their arms and reintegrate to the mainstream society. He also emphasized that he is more than happy to see these people peacefully reaching their arms to the government for the sake of freedom and democracy than through a bloody resort of struggles.

“As vanguard for peace and democracy in Eastern Visayas, we want to make sure that our people will have peaceful sleep at night, away from harm and far from the danger of the NPAs who sow terror in expense of power. “

“Your 8ID will continue to intensify its operations, for you to be able to celebrate Christmas meaningfully and to welcome the New Year more peacefully,” General Chan said. (PIA 8 with report from 8ID)
