ARMY WELCOMES NEWBORN BABY OF FORMER NPA AMAZON By 1Lt Roel T. Maglalang An 18-year-old pregnant former member of the New People’s Army (NPA) amazon successfully delivers her first baby on October 9, 2020 at the Agusan del Norte Provincial Hospital in Barangay Libertad, Butuan City. It was late in the evening when Alias Wena felt the pain in her tummy as a sign that she will be giving birth to her first baby. She was then assisted by the troops of the 23rd Infantry (Masigasig) Battalion (23rd IB), Philippine Army and immediately brought to the hospital.
Alias Wena (true name withheld for security reason) serves as the Squad Medic of SYP SIKOP, Guerrilla Front-4A, North Central Mindanao Regional Committee (NCMRC) for nearly two years. She was lured and recruited by the Communist NPA Terrorist (CNT) at the young age of 16. She had big dreams in life but realized that she could not finish her studies because of poverty. To pursue her dreams, she applied as a working student and studied at Buenavista National High School in Agusan del Norte.
Unfortunately, she was not able to finish her schooling because the leaders of the CNTs destroyed her life and killed her dreams and ambitions. She was easily lured by the CNTs also because her father and her two other brothers were also active members of the armed group. In other words, her entire family was ruined by the CNTs by taking the most important foundation of their family which was her father-the person who should guide, protect, take care and look after them while they grow.
