Thirteen insurgents, identified by aliases including 'Jerry' and 'Aike', surrendered to the Philippine National Police (PNP) and Philippine Army, relinquishing firearms such as rifles and pistols. They are currently undergoing custodial debriefing and documentation for potential enrollment in the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program, which aids their reintegration into society.

PNP Chief Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. highlighted community and security force collaboration as essential for encouraging insurgents to return to peaceful lives. This development aligns with the government’s efforts to strengthen peace and order in conflict-affected areas.
