CAMP ELIAS ANGELES, Pili, Camarines Sur – Another active member of the New Peoples Army (NPA) voluntarily surrendered to government troops in Donsol, Sorsogon on Tuesday afternoon (November 17) through the village officials and members of Bantay Bayan, an Army officer said.
9th Infantry Division spokesman Major Harold M. Cabunoc said that Noel Glovo Longaza AKA “Demar” of Barangay Pawala of said municipality surrendered to 1LT Julius Apolinar M. Feria, commanding officer of Charlie Company, 9th Infantry Battalion of the Philippine Army. Major Cabunoc disclosed that the surrender was facilitated by the the barangay officials and Bantay Bayan members. Longaza, a member of Kilusang Seksiyon sa Platon 3 (KSPN3) of Front Committee Jaylo, turned-over a Caliber .38 revolver which he used while still active in the rebel movement.
Citing existing records in the 9th Infantry Division, Major Cabunoc added that, “Longaza is the 42nd member of the CPP-NPA-NDF to surrender as of this time. This clearly shows that more members of the local terrorist group are becoming disgruntled with the rebel movement due to lack of popular support.”
