SAN LUIS, Agusan del Sur – Three (3) regular members and three (3) Milisya ng Bayan (MB) members of the Communist Terrorist Groups voluntarily surrendered to the government bringing along with them their assorted firearms. They were warmly welcomed to the home of the Ever Onward troopers at Brgy. Mahayahay, San Luis, ADS on August 28, 2023.
The six (6) surrenderees are known by their former comrades as alias Eman/Dos, regular member of SRSDG Sagay, SRC3; alias Ramil, squad leader of Squad 1, HQF NEO and alias Ren-ren, Medic of HQF NEO while the three others are MB members of SRSDG Sagay, SRC3 and Hqs Loader, SRC2 all of North Central Mindanao Regional Committee (NCMRC). They also surrendered one (1) AK47 rifle; one (1) M16 rifle; one (1) M653 rifle and one (1) KG-9 sub-machine gun with magazines and live ammunitions.
Their bad experiences, hardship and scarcity of food while in the terrorist group as well as their will to live a peaceful life with their family and loved ones fueled them to return to the folds of the law.
In an interview, alias "Ren-ren", expressed her feelings as she reminisces her troubled experience in the armed group "Ako isip usa ka lumad ug walay hustong kinaadman, dali ra ako nahaylo sa mga pasalig ug nadani ngadto sa kalihukan sa nga kuno kami makigbisog aron ma protektahan ang yutang kabilin. Sa mga panahong ako nalambigit sa walhong grupo, nasinati ko ang ka kapoy ug tumang kagutom tungod ky wala nay igong pagkaon sige nalang tago-tago ug ang kahadlok alang sa akong kinabuhi. Maong ako, uban ang akong bana naninguha kami nga musibat sa kalihukan aron mahatagan ug maayong kinabuhi ang bata nga ania sa akong sabakan”, she said.
In a statement, Lt Col Sandy R Majarocon, Commanding Officer of 26IB, gratefully welcome the surrenderees for their fearless decision to abandon the terrorist movement and surrender. "Kami nalipay sa inyong pag surender. Taliwala sa mga kalisod ug kasakit sa inyong mga kanisatian, nag ma isugon kamu sa pag sumite sa inyong kaugalingon ug pag-undang sa kalihokan nga walay kapuslanan ug alang sa pag puyo nga malinawon. Ang 26IB maningkamot sa pagtabang kaninyo para mahatag sa inyoha ang mga benepisyo gikan sa mga nagka lain-laing ahensya sa gobyerno”, he said.
The surrenderees will now undergo various types of assessment and documentation prior to their enrollment in the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) of the government where these former rebels will be assisted in preparation for their reintegration into the mainstream society and be able to start a better and new life.
