Gov’t forces facilitate the surrender of a defunct guerilla front member

PAGADIAN CITY, Zamboanga del Sur (March 25, 2021) - A member of the Communist Terrorist Group’s defunct Guerilla Front Kara submitted himself to the government forces in San Miguel, Zamboanga del Sur on Tuesday, March 23, 2021.

Based on the report from the ground, the surrendered personality transferred to the Mobile Regional Guerilla Unit, Western Mindanao Regional Party Committee sometime in 2015, Western Mindanao Command Chief Lt. Gen. Corleto Vinluan, Jr. said.

Fearing for his life, he decided to lie low in 2016 and eventually worked as a farmer in San Miguel, Zamboanga Del Sur from then on.

To start living in genuine peace again, he submitted himself to the combined AFP and PNP troops around 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Lt. Gen. Vinluan, Jr. added.

According to 102nd Infantry Brigade Commander Brig. Gen. Leonel Nicolas, the successful surrender of the CTG member was made possible through the concerted efforts of the 53rd Infantry Battalion, Zamboanga del Sur 2nd Provincial Mobile Force Company, San Miguel Municipal Police Station, Zamboanga del Sur Provincial Police Office, Regional Mobile Force Battalion 9, and the AFP-PNP intelligence units.

The surrendered personality pledged to support the government’s campaign to end the local communist armed conflict (ELCAC).

As he pledges his honest desire to support our campaign against terrorism and insurgency, we also guarantee to provide him with livelihood assistance that will aid in his reintegration into the mainstream society, Joint Task Force ZamPeLan Commander Maj. Gen. Generoso Ponio said.

Since January 2021, a total of 42 communist terrorists returned to the folds of the law in western and central Mindanao. (By JONG CADION with reports and photos from WestMinCom-PIO)
