PAGSANJAN, Laguna - Former CPP-NPA-NDF members gathered and burned the rebel groups' flags to condemn the atrocities committed by the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army (CPP-NPA) and its political wing, the National Democratic Front (NDF).

The rites were recently held on Friday at the Christian Camp of the Philippines in Pagsanjan, Laguna, in conjunction with the Former Rebels Summit.



The burning of flags also represents their rejection of the rebel groups' false ideology and return to the government.

Former insurgents and representatives from various government agencies also signed a peace covenant to continue their respective peace campaigns.
