Guns for Peace Program

In the hope of making peace with our lost brothers, the Armed Forces of the Philippine's Gun For Peace Program (GFPP) shall offer cash incentives to NPA members who will surrender with their firearms to the government and grab the big opportunity to start a new life away from the dangers of the armed conflict




The program is a transition mechanism and an avenue that will truly facilitate NPA rebels and other armed threat groups who wish to lay down their arms and surrender. 

Aside from the firearms remuneration package which will go as high as P200,000 for light machine guns, surrenderees can also benefit from other government programs instituted by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and scholarships to the children of the victims.

Thanks for the program, it is exciting to learn that more rebels have decided to surrender and live a normal life. It is adamant that supporting armed conflict will never be the solution to our country's problem. 

We should all look forward to working together for peace and prosperity.
