An alleged member of the communist New People’s Army “people’s militia” surrendered on Wednesday to the government in Macalelon town in Quezon province. | dtmallarijrINQ
The attack left one soldier dead and two others wounded.
The military refers to the “people’s militia” as part of the insurgent’s mass base, which secures the NPA rebels while in the community. Sometimes, they are armed to reinforce the communist guerrillas during encounters. On Dec. 13 last year, Macalelon, located in the Bondoc Peninsula, became the first municipality in the province to be granted a “Stable Internal Peace and Security” or insurgency-free status. The Bondoc Peninsula is a known former NPA bailiwick in Southern Tagalog.
The government authorities are preparing the assistance for the former rebel in his reintegration protocol under the government’s Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program. A rebel returnee can avail himself of firearm remuneration and housing, medical care, loans, and legal assistance, among other forms of help from the government.
