The surrenderers were members of the weakened Guerrilla Front 30, Sub-Regional Sentro de Grabidad (SRSDG) Westland, of the Communist Party of the Philippines-NPA North Eastern Mindanao Regional Committee (NEMRC).
On Wednesday, Feb. 8, they reached out to the commanding officer of the 36th IB, Lt. Col. Michael Rey S. Reuyan, and revealed the locations of their arms cache in the province.
Troops went to these areas and discovered guns, bullets, bombs, anti-personnel mines, firearms accessories, equipment, and subversive documents, among others.
Reuyan said the surrender was the result of the efforts of the Provincial Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (PTF-ELCAC).
He urged remaining communist guerrillas in the province to surrender and re-join mainstream society.
Army 901st Brigade commander Brig. Gen. George L. Banzon lauded said the surrenderers made the right decision and assured them that the Army will assist them in availing of benefits under the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP).
