Ex-rebel leader surrenders
A former New People's Army (NPA) team leader, alias "Ka Loloy," has surrendered to authorities in Cagayan.
The 55-year-old farmer, who served as a logistics officer and team leader for over 100 rebels from August 1986 to the early 1990s, cited hardships and the constant threat of death as reasons for abandoning the movement in 1991.
He had been hiding for over 30 years on Calayan Island before formally surrendering.
Ka Loloy's group was active in the hinterlands of Lasam, Lallo, Pamplona, and Santa Ana towns.
He surrendered a 12-gauge shotgun to the authorities.
The Cagayan police have committed to securing him until his reintegration into the community.
