A total of 29 New People's Army (NPA) rebels surrendered to the army during the Grand Pulong-pulong at Barangay Kalasungay, Malaybalay City, Bukidnon on July 16, 2020.
Through the army's Community Support Program (CSP) team, 4 Sangay ng Partido sa Lokalidad (SPL) members withdrew their party membership from the Communist Party of the Philippines while another 25 mass supporters withdrew their membership from the National Democratic Front (NDF).
"They are now aware of the deceptive scheme and evil tactics of the CTGs. They also realized that they were just used for the benefit of the communist organization yet they got nothing in return," the army said in a statement.
One of the surrenderees, Jessa, was quoted as saying: "Among dakong pasalamat sa mga kasundaluhan nga nitabang ug nagsuporta sa amo aron makab-ot ang malinawong kinabuhi. Sa una, among gipili ang pikas nga dalan sa pagtuo ug pagsuporta sa sayop na idelohiya nga gisilsil sa amo sa mga komunistang grupo pero sugod karon, among subayon ang lapad ug hustong dalan kauban ang tinuod nga gobyerno nga nagpasugod sa paglaom para sa malungtarong kalinaw ug pagbag-o sa kinabuhi. Kuyog natong ituon ang atong binuhatan sa pagtinabangay sa mga kasundaluhan".
Lieutenant Colonel Edgardo V Talaroc Jr, Commanding Officer of the 8th Infantry Battalion urged other rebels to surrender and support the government
“Sa pagsunog nato sa mga komunistang bandila nga gasimbolo sa mga teroristang binuhatan, naglaum ko nga inyo gihapon gisunog ang inyong pag-unong sa CTGs, sama sa bandila nga di na mabalik. Usa ra ang atong gobyerno nga atong maduolan ug andam kanunay nga mutabang ug protektahan kamo," Talaroc said.
