BONTOC, Mountain Province, Feb. 26(PIA)- - More members of communist terrorist groups(CTGs) operating in the province have realized that fighting against the government is not doing them good and want to reform while there is still time and opportunity.


Seven members of the communists armed groups operating in the province return to the folds of the law to start new life.

Seven CTG members recently surrendered to authorities and were presented at the Mountain Province Provincial Police Office (MPPPO) Compound last week. They also turned over six firearms to the Provincial Task Force to End Local Armed Conflict(PTF-ELCAC).

Executive Assistant Winston Calde of the Governor's Office administered the oath of allegiance of the surrenderees.
