Two more significant personalities of the communist terrorist group laid down their arms and returned to the folds of the law in Central Mindanao on February 4, 2022. WestMinCom Commander Lt. Gen. Alfredo Rosario, Jr. said that the two submitted themselves to the military troops at the Headquarters of 11th Special Forces Company in Barangay Lambingi, T’Boli, South Cotabato.

A.k.a. Dagul, a political guide of Platoon Central, Guerilla Front Musa, and a resident of Barangay Ned, Lake Sebu, South Cotabato; and a.k.a. Tata, a member of Local Guerilla Unit Milisyang Bayan, and a resident of Barangay Klubi, Lake Sebu, South Cotabato, handed over one improvised M79 Grenade Launcher and five rounds of 40mm High Explosives to the military.

Maj. Gen. Juvymax Uy, Commander of Joint Task Force Central said this accomplishment is attributable to the resolve of our units on the ground to engage the local leaders and convince the remaining CTG members to come out.

The surrendered firearms and ammunition were deposited at 11SFC headquarters for safekeeping. The two are the 13th and 14th CTG personalities respectively, who yielded to the Joint Task Force Central for this year alone. It can be recalled that earlier this week, five former rebels also surrendered to the military in Central Mindanao.

“I commend the troops of Joint Task Force Central for their hard work and dedication. Their determination to end terrorism peacefully is very laudable,” Lt. Gen. Rosario, Jr. said. “We urge our brothers and sisters who are still hiding that now is the time for you to come out. Join us in our journey towards peace here in Mindanao”.
