CAMP ALAGAR, Cagayan de Oro City — Four members of the Communist Terrorist Group (CTG) have voluntarily surrendered to authorities on October 15, 2025, at the 1003rd Maneuver Company Headquarters of the Regional Mobile Force Battalion 10 (RMFB 10) in Sitio Colon, Barangay Halapitan, San Fernando, Bukidnon.
The surrender was facilitated by the 1003rd Maneuver Company, RMFB 10, with the support of various military and intelligence units, including the 1004th Maneuver Company, San Fernando Municipal Police Station, Bukidnon Provincial Mobile Force Companies, and the 89th Infantry Battalion of the Philippine Army, among others.
Authorities identified the surrenderers as alias “Jelica,” 24, married, Political Guide and PSR-listed for the 4th Quarter of 2019; alias “Amang,” 26, single, Supply Officer and PSR-listed for the 1st Quarter of 2020; alias “Bandano,” 27, single, non-PSR listed—all members of Squad Uno, Platoon Uno, Guerilla Front Malayag, North Central Mindanao Regional Committee, and residents of Sitio Nalubas, Barangay Palma Gil, Talaingod, Davao del Norte.
Another surrenderer, alias “Arnel,” 22, single, a member of ABE, Tersera Platoon, Pulang Bagani Command 3, Southern Mindanao Regional Committee, and PSR-listed for the 4th Quarter of 2014, is a resident of Sitio Butay, Barangay Cananga-an, Cabanglasan, Bukidnon.
Recovered from their possession were two units of Cal. .357 revolvers, one Cal. .38 pistol with eight live ammunition, and one rifle grenade, along with a CTG member’s handbook.
The surrenderers were validated by former CTG members and are now under the custody of the 1003rd Maneuver Company for debriefing and profiling. Their documentation is being processed for enrollment under the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP), a government initiative for rebel returnees.
The surrendered firearms and subversive materials are now under the custody of the 1003rd Maneuver Company for turnover to the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), while the rifle grenade will be submitted to PECU Bukidnon for verification and proper disposal.
Police Brigadier General Christopher N. Abrahano, Acting Regional Director of PRO10, lauded the concerted efforts of the operating units and partner agencies in facilitating the peaceful surrender.
“We commend our personnel and partner agencies for their steadfast efforts in facilitating the surrender of these former rebels. PRO10 remains dedicated, together with the AFP and other government agencies, in assisting those who choose to return to the fold of the law through programs like E-CLIP. We continue to call on remaining CTG members to lay down their arms and embrace peace,” PBGEN Abrahano said.
