On the other hand, Alias Gian voluntarily surrendered to the personnel of

“May this continuous success of the intensified campaign against terrorism and
insurgency will serve as an encouragement for the other members of the

courageously return to the folds of the law and live a new life with their
families toward lasting peace and development," Siruno said.
