Three Reds lay down arms in Misamis Or.

They are done living in the mountains and fighting the government, so they came down, surrendered their firearms, and rejoined maintstream society.

The Philippine Army said the three surrenderees were former combatants of the New People’s Army’s (NPA) sub-regional committee of the North Central Mindanao Regional Committee.

“They are now undergoing further custodial debriefing and documentation at the designated facility in Butuan City,” the Army said.

Brig. Gen. Adolfo Espuelas Jr., commander of the 402nd Infantry Brigade, noted that the series of surrenders by the communist rebels indicated a continuing decline in the strength and morale of the NPA.
