The three MB members voluntarily surrendered to the troops of 86th Infantry (Highlander) Battalion, 5th Infantry (STAR) Division, Philippine Army in the province of Quirino on September 27.

Through the CSP conducted by the 86IB together with the line agencies in the Whole-of-the-Nation Approach, the residents particularly the supporters of the said group learned the way of deception and fraud of the KLG-Q-NV on their target victims that made them decide to return to the folds of law and trust the true form of government.

Lt. Col. Ali A Alejo, commanding officer, 86IB said that, “their voluntary surrender is contributing to the degradation of KLG-Q-NV which is already in the brink of collapse due to the successive surrender of their members. Also, this manifests the effective implementation of the Provincial and Municipal Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (PTF-ELCAC) that displays a spirit of oneness of all government units and agencies towards peaceful and prosperous community.”

For his part, BGen Laurence E Mina PA, commander, 5th Infantry Division, Philippine Army said that, the voluntary surrender of the three MBs signify the effectiveness of the effort of the government on the campaign against insurgency in the Areas of Responsibility of 5ID.

“Your Philippine Army will not stop in doing our mandated task to end local communist armed conflict in the Cagayan Valley and Cordillera Administrative Region. We are always ready to serve, protect and save the people who was deceived by the elements of the Communist Terrorist Groups,” Mina added.

BGen Mina also acknowledged the efforts and services rendered by the different line agencies and local government units in attaining peace and order. (MDCT/PIA-2)
