An ex-red fighter identified as “Ka Mike” belonging to the KLG-TARZAM operating in Tarlac and Zambales also surrendered to authorities.
He handed over one homemade caliber 38 revolver, one rifle-propelled grenade, two meters of firing wire with blasting cap, 10 inches of commercial time fuse, and one 9-volt battery power source.
Three former members of terror group Narciso Antazo Aramil command and one member of the Eduardo Dagli command in Bulacan voluntarily turned themselves in to the police.
They surrendered a .45 pistol with a magazine loaded with three live bullets, a hand grenade, and a rifle grenade with a bullet trap.
