Brigadier General Nestor C. Herico, brigade commander, said the five insurgents voluntarily surrendered late last week after nearly a month of trekking through the mountains of northern Palawan to escape from the NPA's Bienvenido Vallever Command (BVC).
Holgado also said that all Marines under his leadership should make all the learning and knowledge their way of life as he thanked all of them under the battalion.
