“Their decision to surrender came after experiencing extreme exhaustion and hunger due to successive focused military operations in the area, as they no longer receive ample support from their former mass bases. After the successful negotiations of the MCSP, we successfully extracted the CNTs from Sitio Malungsagay, Brgy. Minalwang in Claveria, Misamis Oriental through the joint efforts of the 23rd Infantry Battalion,” ayon kay Lieutenant Colonel Marc Bien Stevens J. Deslate Commanding Officer, 8IB.
“As you embrace the path to peace and start a new chapter of your lives, we assure you of the benefits that the government has promised under the Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (E-CLIP). Together with the continuous efforts of our ground troops, the support of the civilian populace, and the programs implemented by line agencies under Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, we aim to totally defeat the CTG at the soonest possible time, and maintain the peace and development in Northern Mindanao and Caraga regions,” ayon kay Major General Jose Maria R. Cuerpo II Commander, 4ID.
