From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 26): 2 rebels surrender to Army soldiers in Compostela Valley

Two members of the New People's Army (NPA) surrendered to troopers of the 28th Infantry Battalion in Barangay Langgawisan, Maragusan town, CompostelaValley on Tuesday, the Eastern Mindanao Command said.

Capt. Alberto Caber, the command's spokesperson, identified the surrenderees as Efraim Manlitok Pinangot and Jovanie Olmido Atabay, both members of the NPA's underground mass organization.

Caber said Pinangot and Atabay expressed their disillusionment with the NPA cause and realized that they were just being used as pawns in the rebels' intimidation and extortion activities.

The two are now undergoing debriefing at the Marangusan police headquarters.

last Jan. 10, six members of the NPA's underground mass organization voluntarily surrendered to the soldiers of 27th Infantry Battalion in Barangay Tasiman, LakeSebu, South Cotabato.
