ISABELA CITY, Basilan – With the continuous peace and development efforts, another two Abu Sayyaf Group members yielded with high-powered firearms to the 4th Special Forces Battalion (4SFBn) here in Barangay Cabunbata on Wednesday 19 August 2020.
The ASG members were identified as Kadil Hadilon Paksaan, 32 years old, alias Rambo who resides in Barangay Sibago, Hadji Mohhamad Ajul, Basilan Province and Manasal Jojie Marani, 20 years old, a resident of Barangay Bagbagon, Lantawan, Basilan Province. The two ASG returnees surrendered one (1) M16A1 Rifle, one (1) M14 Rifle, magazines, and several ammunitions.
The ASG returnees were grateful to the authorities for giving them a chance to embrace peace as they admitted that they were just deceived by the misleading ideologies and empty promises of the ASG leaders.
It can be recalled that last month a total of six ASG members surrendered to the 4thSFBn and were presented to Colonel Domingo B. Gobway the newly installed Commander of the Joint Task Force-Basilan and 101st Infantry (Three Red Arrows) Brigade. Lieutenant Colonel Alex Ampati, the Commanding Officer of 4SFBn, welcomes this development as a sign that the enemies’ will to fight is already weakened and more ASG members are now wanting to go back to the folds of the law and embrace lasting peace.
“Maraming myembro ng ASG ang sumuko na at marami pa ang nagbabalak na magbalik-loob sa gobyerno. Kaya hinihikayat namin ang iba pa nating mga kapatid na nakikibaka sa kabundukan na bumaba at yakapin ang kapayapaan. May panahon pa para kayo ay magbago.”, Lieut.-Colonel Ampati expressed.
The two ASG returnees will be enrolled in the Program Against Violent Extremism (PAVE) espoused by the Provincial Government of Basilan for the necessary intervention in order for them to become responsible, law-abiding, and productive citizens in the community.
