From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 8): ASG terrorist yields to Marines in Sulu
Another Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) terrorist has turned himself in to Philippine Marine Corps (PMC) units in Talipao, Sulu Wednesday.
The ASG member was identified as Aldimar Tahil, 20, who surrendered in Barangay Tuyang in Talipao, PMC spokesperson Capt. Maria Rowena B. Dalmacio said in a message Thursday.
He also surrendered his 9-mm. "Uzi" machine pistol, said Dalmacio.
Tahil, who was affiliated with the band headed by one Berham Lutian, said he chose to give himself up as he wanted to rejoin mainstream society.
He was a resident of Barangay Mahala and was an ASG member since 2014, serving as a watchman and messenger of the terrorist group, Dalmacio said.
For the past two weeks, five suspected ASG members have surrendered to various PMC units, along with 57 high-powered firearms with magazines and ammunition.
