Camp BGen Efigenio C Navarro, Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro – A total of 139 members and supporters of the Communist Party of the Philippines – New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) have voluntarily surrendered to the Police Regional Office MIMAROPA since January this year.

Records reveal that out of 139, 20 are listed in the periodic status report (PSR) and the rest are alleged members, supporters, and militiamen.

Among the latest surrenderers is “Ka Alyana,” 57, former member of NPA in the Barrio and a supporter of Jethro Erardo Zapra Jr alias “Ka Jojo Sapra/Jade/Muriel/Jeter/Bamboo”; KLG MAV (Mark Anthony Velasco) (Former KLG SILANGAN), SRMA-4D (Mindoro Islacom Committee) Southern Tagalog Regional Party Committee (STRPC) operating in the municipalities of Roxas, Mansalay and Bulalacao, all of Oriental Mindoro; Magsaysay, San Jose, Rizal, and Calintaan all of Occidental Mindoro, who surrendered to the personnel of 2nd Provincial Mobile Force Company Occidental Mindoro PPO at 2nd PMFC Headquarters in Brgy. Payompon, Mamburao, Occidental Mindoro on August 2, 2023 at around 10:00 AM.

The surrender of “Ka Alyana” was a result of the relentless efforts of the intelligence units of 2nd PMFC Occidental Mindoro PPO in collaboration with Rizal MPS; Sablayan MPS; Provincial Intelligence Unit Occidental Mindoro PPO; PIT-RIU-4B; 402nd and 405th B Maneuver Company RMFB; 10th SAB PNP-SAF Sablayan; and 76th IB Philippine Army.

“Alyana” is now under the custody and supervision of 2nd PMFC Occidental Mindoro PPO for custodial debriefing, documentation and assistance in processing of Enhanced Comprehensive and Local Integration Program (E-CLIP).

PBGEN DORIA praised the relentless efforts of the intelligence unit of Occidental Mindoro PPO in collaboration with the AFP, and other partner agencies in the surrender of “Ka Alyana” and other members of the CPP-NPA.

“I laud the efforts of our personnel and partner units in this endeavor. This only proves the government’s whole-of-nation approach under the NTF-ELCAC is gaining far in its ultimate goal to put an end to decades-long local communist terrorism in the country”, PBGEN DORIA remarked.

“I hope that this success urges the remaining members of Communist Terrorist Groups to finally surrender and return to the folds of the law to become productive citizens of society”, he added.
