CAMP EVANGELISTA, Cagayan De Oro City: The Philippine Army is now hiring new members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), including regular members of the New People’s Army (NPA), with no questions asked. He said the new applicants will no longer undergo rigid background check and the usual military training provided they are regular members of the NPA. “If the rebels would come down in tens together with their firearms, there would be no questions asked in the processing of their enlistment into the military,” Martinez said. He added the NPAs who would be enlisted into the AFP would undergo training – more on the administrative side – on AFP operations. Caraga is in Northeastern Mindanao and is comprised of Agusan Del Norte, Agusan Del Sur, Surigao Del Note, Surigao Del Sur and Dinagat Island.
