Troops recover weapons after NPA encounter
Four former members of the New People's Army (NPA), including a former commander, surrendered to authorities in Central Luzon this week amidst intensified military operations and government amnesty incentives.
The surrenders occurred over four days across four provinces: Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Bataan, and Olongapo City.
The surrendered individuals, identified by aliases like 'Iska,' 'Ka Rose,' 'Ka Gelo,' and 'Ka Jack,' handed over various firearms including revolvers, a shotgun, and grenade launchers.
These defections are seen as a success of the National Task Force-ELCAC's strategy, which combines military action with livelihood programs and community engagement.
The former rebels are now eligible for government assistance such as housing and cash aid as part of the reintegration program.
