Share TweetBy Joseph JubelagGeneral Santos City – Saying that he’s already tired of fighting against the government, a 75-year-old New People’s Army (NPA) combatant surrendered to military authorities in Malapatan, Sarangani over the weekend. Gen. Robert Ancan, 1002nd Infantry Brigade commander, said Boy Cabisa Diale, a resident of Barangay Upper Suyan, Malapatan, Sarangani, surrendered to 73rd Infantry Battalion officials based in Malapatan town. He said he had been an NPA combatant for the past 50 years, and yet his life in the mountain remained miserable these past decades. More than 200 NPA rebels in Sarangani have already surrendered to authorities since 2016, and have availed the livelihood assistance under the CLIP program.
