Maranding said he went on lie-low status after the surrender of his leader and comrades.
Maranding and the firearm he surrendered are currently under the custody of 18IB for proper disposition.

“We welcome all those who wish to lay down their arms and return to the folds of the law. We assure you that we will give our full support to their reintegration into mainstream society,” said Lieutenant General Alfredo Rosario, Jr., commander of the Western Mindanao Command.
