MANILA, Sept. 5 (PNA) -- Due to dwindling support from the masses, three New People's Army (NPA) fighters surrendered to 53rd Infantry Battalion troopers in Guipos town, Zamboanga Del Sur Saturday morning.

This took place at 7:30 a.m. at 53rd Infantry Battalion headquarters in Camp Subido, Zamboanga Del Sur, said 1st Infantry Division spokesperson Lt. Col. Audie Mongao.

These returnees were identified as Erme Elnas, Anselma Perez Quijano, and Lodevico Jordan.

The rebels also surrendered their weapons which include a KG-45 sub-machine gun and .45 caliber pistol.

Mongao said that the surrender of the three was facilitated by the intelligence squad of the 53rd Infantry Battalion.
