THE communist insurgency movement in Mindanao continues to weaken as more and more New People’s Army (NPA) guerillas lay down arms and return to mainstream society.
The Army’s 1st Special Forces (Hunter-Killer) Battalion reported that two more NPA members surrendered on Sunday, Feb. 21 in Barangay Mampayag, Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon.

Capt. Bilver Butale, civil-military operations chief of the unit, assured the surrenderees of support as they undergo the reintegration process.
In a statement, 4ID commander Maj. Gen. Michele Anayron Jr. said the surrender highlighted the continuous weakening of rebel movement as sustained military operations were complemented by whole-of-nation interventions that address the root causes of insurgency.
