Alias MIKOY and JANINE recalled the hardships while still with the terrorist group.

“Sugod pa sauna dili na maayo amoa kahimtang sa sulod, walay tarung na kaon og tulog permaminte pa kapoy. Ganahan na mi nga mo surrender pero ilaha mi ginahadlok paantuson mi og patyon mi sa kasundaluhan kung mo surrender mi nga dili jud diay tinuod og puros ra pamakak ilahang giestorya.” alias MIKOY said in the local dialect.

“Maong nagdesisyon mi nga moikyas na og mo surrender kay ganahan mi og maayong pamuyo og makabaton og kaugalingon pamilya kay sa sulod, gina dili nila ang makig relasyon sa kauban og dili sila gusto makabaton mi og kaugalingon anak.” alias JANINE added.

“Their relatives informed us that the NPA couple called them through cell phone and said they just want to voluntarily surrender after they heard the news that their former leader alias WAR-WAR and other surrenderees where in good condition and humanely treated by the Army.” Lt. Col. Manaros M Boransing 97th IB, Commanding Officer said on his statement.

“Upon confirming their exact location our troops together with their trusted relatives and former rebels proceeded to their location and rescued them and immediately brought them to our camp.” Lt. Col. Boransing added
