7 ex-NPA rebels surrender to Phl Army in Talaingod, Davao Norte
Seven former members of the New People’s Army operating at the borders of Bukidnon and Talaingod, Davao del Norte surrendered to the Philippine Army’s 56th Infantry Battalion at Sitio Central Baugan, Brgy. Palma Gil, Talaingod, Davao del Norte over the weekend. In a statement on Monday, 10ID Public Affairs Division chief Maj. Mark Anthony Tito said the surrenderees were all members of the Sub-Regional Sentro De Grabidad PEDDLER, Sub-Regional Committee 2 of the North Central Mindanao Regional Committee. The former rebels were identified as alias Fernando Poe, alias Rustom, alias Sarmontano, alias Adolfo, alias Agata, alias Rica and alias Andrew E. “The joint effort of the 56IB and the 1003rd Infantry (Raptor) Brigade made the surrender possible,” said Tito. In a statement released by the Philippine Army, the group’s team leader, alias Fernando Poe, narrated the “hardships” they went through during their stay with the NPA revolution. _"Kapoy kaayo ang pagtago sa gobyerno, ang gilay-on nga among gibaktas ug walay igong pagkaon. Wala man ko kabalo unsaon pagtapos sa among kalisod, mao nga nakahukom mi nga mo-surrender na lang kay walay silbi ang among gubat_ (Hiding from the government was exhausting, we walked long distances without enough food. I didn't know how to overcome the hardships, so we decided to just give up because there was no meaning in what we were fighting for),” he said. BGen. Allan Hambala, acting commander of 10ID, welcomed the surrenderees and thanked them for accepting the government’s offer to give them a fresh start as normal citizens. "Our soldiers will continue to exert efforts to entice the remaining CNTs to surrender and prevent the reentry of armed groups in the Davao Region. We call on the remaining members of the CTG in the 10ID area of responsibility to embrace the peaceful path to peace,” Hambala said. The rebel returnees are now in the custody of 56IB for custodial debriefing and medical intervention, according to Tito. He added that former NPA combatants will be endorsed to avail of the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program, a government assistance program for former rebels.

Another disgraceful police scandal
With too many whys, a clear-cut and independent full-blown investigation is imperative into the now infamous alleged police cover-up and pilferage of illegal drugs worth billions. But by any yardstick, the police can’t be a party to such an investigation. Not only because the investigation involves top police officers but also — and more damningly — because the police brass hasn’t been exactly forthright about their own promised probe of the disgraceful incident. In fact, Interior Secretary Benhur Abalos said that as early as February, his department had raised concerns to police brass about the slow pace of the police investigation into the arrest of Police Master Sergeant Rodolfo Mayo Jr., the seizure of illegal drugs worth P6.7 billion, and what happened to the drug haul afterward. Apparently, the concerns were ignored, forcing Mr. Abalos to launch another inquiry, this time with the National Police Commission in the lead. It was only after Mr. Abalos publicly disclosed what he described as a “massive attempt to cover up” Mayo’s arrest did the police brass divulge its investigation report that found a coterie of 49 Drug Enforcement Group officers and men liable for criminal and administrative charges amid irregularities in the illegal drug seizure. At the same time, police also officially divulged that some DEG officers speciously stole from the drug haul at least 42 kg of illegal drugs, that was found in an abandoned car near Camp Crame. Mr. Abalos wasn’t alone in raising suspicions about the slow pace of the official police probe into Mayo’s arrest last October, however. Last month, an evidently peeved Rep. Robert Ace Barbers, chairperson of the House Committee on Dangerous Drugs, lashed out, saying that after six months the police special investigation task group looking into the incident still had nothing to show for it. “Why is it said that the PNP SITG is foot-dragging or dilly-dallying on their probe? Are they covering up for something we don’t know or are they still trying to make up a different script about his arrest and involvement in shabu stockpiling and possibly for recycling?” Mr. Barbers furiously asked then. Aside from these damning cover-up allegations, a flurry of other questions surfaced about Mayo’s arrest. CCTV footage, for instance, purportedly showed that instead of immediately spiriting away a handcuffed Mayo following his arrest in Tondo, Manila, police officers entered a nearby building with him and then suspiciously transferred bags and luggage into several vehicles. The building in question, which Mayo allegedly owned, was where the illegal drugs were stored. Even more puzzling, Abalos said, the police apparently already had Mayo in their custody even before the raid. A DEG report claimed he was arrested after a hot pursuit operation the following day. Worse, Mayo was even listed as an arresting officer in a different operation on the day of the raid. In the aftermath, other serious issues surfaced, including revelations of the disgusting practice of drug operatives setting aside 30 percent of seized illegal drugs to pay off informants. Nonetheless, the latest police scandal ricochets into broader issues like if the police organization can still restore integrity and professionalism in the ranks amid the temptations of lucrative criminal activities. Particularly so since the police brass haven’t so far demonstrated political will for serious reforms. Outgoing PNP chief Gen. Adolfo Azurin Jr., who is set to retire tomorrow (24 April), for instance, was reticent about the Abalos exposè until last week, only to issue a lame blanket denial that senior police officers had covered up the Mayo case. Yet, something must urgently be done about the increasing police involvement in mafia-life criminal undertakings. We can’t take such urgency lightly. A recent report by the Global Initiative Against Transnational Crime, for instance, predicts that emboldened Filipino mafia-style criminal groups, particularly state-embedded actors like the police, are going to step up their nefarious violent doings in the next few years. Not doing anything now therefore means we’ll end up paying a steep price later on. Email: nevqjr@yahoo.com.ph The post Another disgraceful police scandal appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
