I don't know there is rebels in Phillipines! In almost every country, there are rebels who want to ought the legitimate government. In every country, there is war and unending conflicts! People seeking power and wealth through violence.

My country has a long battle with the NPA. Many already surrendered to the umbrella of the government and others continue doing attacks in remote places. According to the PNP Chief there are more or less 100 remaining NPA in the Philippines. They cannot anymore recruit, the police and military are given by the government shoot to kill order whoever joins.
