By Thirty-seven individuals in the Ilocos Region disengaged from communist-linked organizations in June, the Police Regional Office 1 (PRO-1) said.
In a statement on Friday (Jult 3), PRO-1 said that from June 1 to 30, 19 members of Communist Front Organizations (CFOs) voluntarily surrendered, while 11 individuals formally withdrew their support for the Communist Party of the Philippines–New People’s Army (CPP-NPA).
Police said the accomplishment was part of the government’s whole-of-nation approach to ending local communist armed conflict through sustained law enforcement operations, community engagement, and peace-building initiatives aimed at encouraging members and supporters to abandon the armed struggle and reintegrate into society.
