The ceremony took place at the 37th Infantry (CONQUEROR) Battalion headquarters.
According to one of the surrendering rebels, continuous military operations in the area significantly impacted their morale, forces, and military resources, motivating them to return to the government.
As part of their reintegration, they were provided with initial financial assistance from the local government to help them start a new life.
According to local government officials, their return is proof that many have awakened to the truth and wish to turn away from the deception of communist terrorists, seeking to be part of a peaceful and quiet community.
In addition to financial assistance, each surrendered individual received a sack of rice as initial support for their needs during the early days of their reintegration.
