A brother of a top communist rebel leader in Region 11 surrendered to authorities last week after asking permission from his brother, the military reported Wednesday. Romer Rosete, married and a resident of Purok 3, Barangay Inambatan in Monkayo, Compostela Valley, surrendered to intelligence personnel of the Philippine Air Force last December 15. The 29-year-old Romer is the younger brother of Roberto Rosete, alias Kumander Alex, top honcho of the Pulang Bagani Command 2 of the New People’s Army (NPA).
