“The successful surrender was made possible by the relentless massive base operations of our soldiers and intelligence operatives,” said Lieutenant Colonel Rafael Caido, acting commander of the 6th Special Forces Battalion.
Subsequently, the Abu Sayyaf surrender were presented to Brigadier General Ignatius Patrimonio, commander of the 1102nd Infantry Brigade, at the unit’s headquarters at Camp Bud Datu in Tagbak village, Indanan.
Heritage is pleased to note that the four of them decided to give themselves up to live a peaceful life.
He said the surrender of the four is a demonstration that the 1102nd Infantry Brigade is on the right track in its desire to end terrorism in Patikul.
“Help us inform the remaining members of the ASG (Abu Sayyaf Group) to do the same while it is not too late for them. Together, let us regain peace and progress in Sulu, of which we can all be proud, ”he told the four Abu Sayyaf deliverables.
Major General William Gonzales said that military action will be taken on an ongoing basis while non-military actions are also intensifying to address security challenges in Sulu province. (SunStar Zamboanga)
