The six CNTG members go by the following aliases: alias Susan, alias Joey/BUnso, alias Loyd, alias Rico, alias Mike and alias Wanning.

The surrender of the CNTG members at about 1 p.m. are said to be results of the concerted effort of the two Community Support Program (CSP) teams of the 3rd CMO Coy led by Capt. Marcelo V. Velo Jr. and the Charlie Coy of the 84th Infantry Battalion.

The returnees also yielded firearms which include a Caliber .30 M1 Garand rifle, one US carbine M1 rifle with one magazine, one US Springfield M1903 bolt action rifle; two 12 gauge shot gun with six live ammunition and one magazine, and one 16 Gauge shot gun with four live ammunition.

Livelihood assistance from 7th ID will be given to the returnees while their benefits from the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (ECLIP) are being processed.

Maj. Gen. Felimon T. Santos Jr., 7th ID commander, said he is happy with the surrender of the communist terrorists and that he expects more CNTG members will choose to live peaceful life.

Santos also believes that the series of surrender is a result of the effective CSP activities conducted by the units involved.
