NAVAL STATION FELIX APOLINARIO, Panacan, Davao City (DWDD) – A 16-year-old female NPA yielded to government troops after an encounter in Laak, Compostela Valley Province on April 30, 2018
Accordingly, the surrender came after a team implementing a Community Support Program while conducting Public Information and “pulong-pulong” in Barangay Sonlon, Assuncion, Davao Del Norte was approached by a concerned citizen informing them of the intention of an individual to surrender.
In her revelation, the surrenderor identified only as Kara (name withheld) that she is part of the group and was involved in series of encounters in Sitio Lower Dalimdim, Brgy. Naga, Laak, Compostela Valley, along Sitio Rizal, Camadi District, and Sonlon, Asuncion, all of Davao del Norte in the afternoon of April 29, 2018.

At present, the 60th Infantry Battalion is closely coordinating with the Municipal Social Welfare Office of Assuncion and the Philippine National Police in the area for the custody and proper intervention to the surrendered minor, in accordance to the protocol and standards of handling children in armed conflict.
