M/Gen Gerardo T Layug said that their efforts joined together caused the return of couple Lemuel and Nida Moreno to the fold of law. Both surrendered before the 20th Infantry Battalion (20IB) at Brgy. Santander in Bobon, Northern Samar bringing with them two caliber 45 pistols and four rounds of ammunitions.
