Camp Navarro, Calarian, Zamboanga City – November 12, 2021

As the Joint Task Force Central steps up its combat and non-combat operations, two more members of the Communist Terrorist Group surrendered to the troops of the 38th Infantry Battalion and 6th CMO Battalion on November 11, 2021.

62-year-old a.k.a. Cardo and 36-year-old a.k.a. Ka Mimoy, all from Banga, South Cotabato handed over their firearms to the armed forces at the 38IB headquarters at Sitio Tampuan, Barangay Kamanga, Maasim, Sarangani Province. They are members of the Guerilla Front Musa, Far South Mindanao Regional Committee.

The duo surrendered their firearms including one improvised M14 rifle with two magazines and 40 rounds of live ammunition and one Garand rifle with five clips, 37 rounds of live ammunition, and eight rounds of K3 ammunition.

“We continue to encourage militants to surrender and possibly spend the holiday seasons with their loved ones,” said Maj. Gen. Alfredo Rosario, Jr., Commander of Western Mindanao Command. “As the highest military Commander in this side of the country, I am elated with this development, and I commend our soldiers and those who are helping and assisting them to achieve these successes”.

Former rebels underwent custodial debriefing conducted by the 603rd Infantry Brigade while their surrendered firearms are placed under the custody of 38IB for proper disposition.

“We expect to be counting and receiving more CTG members who will surrender in the coming days, as some of the top leaders of the group already yielded,” said Maj. Gen. Juvymax Uy, Commander of Joint Task Force Central.

Since January this year, 121 CTG members already surrendered to the government forces with most of them also turning over their firearms and ammunition. Of the 121, 13 are from the West Daguma, 84 from the East Daguma, and 24 from the GF Musa.
