Three Abu Sayyaf Group members yield in Basilan
Three more Abu Sayyaf members and one of their
supporters surrendered and yielded their firearms at the headquarters of
the Army’s 18th Infantry Battalion (18IB) headquarters in Ungkaya
Pukan, Basilan on November 18, 2021.
Their surrender was due to efforts of Joint Task Group
Unit (JITU) under Joint Task Force (JTF) Basilan; operating troops of
18IB; and the local government units of Ungkaya Pukan and Tipo-tipo.
The surrendered ASG members will undergo psychosocial
debriefing to prepare them for societal reintegration. They will also
receive livelihood training and aid under the government’s “Program
Against Violent Extremism (PAVE) for Peace” which is designed to
holistically address violent extremism.
It can be recalled that 13 ASG members surrendered to Army troops in Barangay Bon-Bon, Patikul, Sulu on November 15, 2021.
Army Commanding General and concurrent AFP Chief of
Staff Lt. Gen. Andres Centino, in his earlier guidance, has ordered
troops to step-up intelligence operations and capabilities to neutralize
state enemies.
