Alias Libor, 43, and alias Nic, 23, said they “want to cut their ties with the rebel group and help the government to end the local terrorism” during their surrender Tuesday, July 20, 2021, in Basey, Samar.
In the information released by the Police Regional Office-Eastern Visayas, alias Libor also turned over a caliber .45 Springfield armory pistol, one magazine assembly, and five pieces of live ammunition for the same caliber of firearm.
