4 CTG members surrender to the government in AgSur

TALACOGON, AGUSAN DEL SUR – Some four (4) regular members of the Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) bringing along their firearms with magazines and live ammunition yielded to the 26th Infantry Battalion on November 30, 2022.

The unit’s intensified military operations, support of the locals and strengthened partnership with the Local Government Units (LGUs) and tribal leaders significantly contributed to the voluntary surrender of the four regular members of Platoon Sagay, Sub-Regional Committee 3 of the North Central Mindanao Regional Committee operating in the hinter areas of Esperanza, Agusan del Sur and Las Nieves, Agusan del Norte. They also surrendered two (2) AK47 rifles, one (1) KG-9 sub-machine gun, and one (1) Carbine rifle.

Fear for their lives, hunger, longingness for their families and children, and broken promises of their recruiters fueled them to return to the folds of the law. 

Likewise, Lieutenant Colonel Sandy Majarocon, Commanding Officer of said unit, welcomed the surrenderees and appreciated them for choosing the path of peace and reconciliation with the government. 

The surrenderees will undergo various assessments and documentation validation for their enrolment in the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP) of the government and availment of other programs for their reintegration into the mainstream society and to be able to start better lives.
