Today, however, she is simply Mara: a daughter, a partner, a peace advocate, and a former rebel determined to help others find the path she once struggled to take. Her story did not begin in the mountains. It began when she was only fourteen years old. Growing up in a family with relatives working overseas, Mar

In September 2023, Job David, better known by his alias “Ka Yuri,” stood at a crossroads that would forever change his life. Once a cadre of the Communist Party of the Philippines–New People’s Army, he had endured years of hardship in the mountains, surviving only on root crops and wild herbs, far from even the most basic comforts. During a “hakot-bundo”* mission, he and two comrades made the difficult decision to surrender to the 23rd Division Reconnaissance Company in Mindo
