From ABS-CBN (May 24): 15 Maute members surrender: military
Fifteen members of the Maute group have surrendered to authorities, the military said Thursday.
Col. Romeo Brawner, commander of Joint Task Group Ranao, a counter-terrorism unit, confirm the surrender without giving details.
The Maute group, which pledged allegiance to Islamic State-inspired militants, led a 5-month-long siege in Marawi City last year. The fighting left over 1,000 people killed.
Earlier this month, 27 Maute extremists were presented to President Rodrigo Duterte during his visit to Marawi.
The latest surrender brings the total number of Maute members in government custody to 42, the military said.
