On January 4, 2008, Narceso Lor @ Elor surrendered to elements of Bravo Company of 43IB in Brgy Luneta, Lapaz,
The series of surrender among Communist Terrorists members and supporters shows that they are already fed up and dismayed with the false promises and horrible lifestyle in the underground movement. Moreso, when they learned that their commanders are enjoying a luxurious lifestyle in the city as a proof of the earlier arrest of Iglecerio Peria “KA CHOY” at Sta Maria cockpit Arena in Bulacan spending revolutionary Tax Collection.
This was attributed through the massive information campaign and tactical operations conducted by the operating elements of 43rd Infantry Battalion in the area.
Major General Armando L Cunanan AFP, Commander, 8th Infantry Division, Philippine Army commended the operating troops of the 43rd Infantry Battalion for a job well done.
He also encouraged other members and supporters of the New People’s Army to lay down their arms and return to mainstream society while he extend his gratitude to the people of Leyte for the unwavering support they are extending to our troops operating in the province of Leyte.
