Six communist terrorists laid down their arms in Sarangani on November 30, 2021. Their identities were not disclosed for their safety and security.

According to Maj. Gen. Alfredo Rosario, Jr., Commander of Western Mindanao Command, the six were members of the Militia ng Bayan under Central Platoon Musa, Far South Mindanao Region (FSMR) and are all residents of Sitio Kapanal, Gasi, Kiamba, Sarangani Province. “The FSMR operates mainly in the provinces of Cotabato and Saranggani,” he said.

Surrendered personalities handed over one Shotgun with three rounds of live ammunition, one 5.56mm pistol with two rounds of live ammunition, and two cal. 38 revolver with three rounds of live ammunition. A custodial debriefing was conducted to the former rebels after which they were presented to Kiamba Mayor Danny Martinez and other stakeholders for their subsequent enrollment in the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP).

Maj. Gen. Juvymax Uy, Commander of Joint Task Force Central, attributed this accomplishment to the collaborative efforts of the 38IB of the Philippine Army, 2nd Sarangani Provincial Mobile Force Company, Kiamba PNP, PNP Maritime Group-Kiamba substation, and the intelligence units.

It can be recalled that last November 12, two members of the CTG surrendered to the same battalion at its headquarters in the municipality of Maasim, same province. The two are now undertaking livelihood training and other preparations for their reintegration into mainstream society.

“We continue to pressure the remaining terrorists to return to the fold of law as we sustain the momentum. We are also appreciative of the continued support we get from our partners, stakeholders, and the communities,” Maj. Gen. Rosario, Jr. stated.

For this year, a total of 145 members and supporters of the CTG already surrendered to the Joint Task Force Central most of whom already received their reintegration packages.
