Posted to the Western Mindanao Command (WESTMINCOM) Facebook Page (Mar 24, 2022): 9 abus yield in Sulu
Camp Navarro, Calarian, Zamboanga City – March 24, 2022Nine Abu Sayyaf Group members yielded to the military in Sulu on March 22, 2022. They handed over their firearms to the 1102nd Infantry Brigade at Camp Bud, Barangay Tagbak, Indanan, Sulu.
The former violent extremists turned over one M16A1 rifle, one M1 Garand rifle, one KG9 semi-auto 9mm pistol, one rifle grenade, two cal. 45 pistols, and two M1 Garand rifles. They were subsequently presented to Col. Giovanni Franza, Commander of 1102Bde and Maj. Gen. Ignatius Patrimonio, Commander of Joint Task Force Sulu at the 1102Bde Headquarters.
Maj. Gen. Patrimonio said the surrender of the nine ASGs is attributed to the joint efforts of the intelligence and infantry units of Joint Task Force Sulu.
During the debriefing, the surrendered personalities revealed that due to lack of manpower and capability, they are having a hard time to fight against the government forces. They are also starving and exhausted of hiding.
Lt. Gen. Rosario, Jr. said that he is hopeful that those who remain in hiding will follow the footsteps of the nine former violent extremists.
