The two NPA personalities surrendered to the members of the City Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (CT-ELCAC) led by Mayor Carlo Jorge Reyes, along with the joint teams of 62nd Infantry Battalion (IB) and Guihulngan City Police Station.
Colonel Inocencio Pasaporte, 303rd IBde commander, commended the aggressive efforts of the Guihulngan City Task Force- ELCAC, along with the law enforcers in the area.
