10 MILF rebels surrender (also in Xinhuanet, Inquirer.net, Philstar.com, Pia.gov.ph, Mindanews.com, Sunstar, China Military Online) reminds me of the proverbial story of the "prodigal son."
On February 2, a group identified with the MILF's 102nd Base Command finally defected bringing their firearms to the 43rd Infantry Battalion under Lieutenant Colonel Juvymax Uy; they cited not only emotional and physical difficulties, but a realization of being deceived by their leaders.
Having returned to the folds of the law, the group now qualifies for the Social Integration Program of the government. With this development, they can now take part in contributing their energies along with the other peace-loving citizens for the betterment of our society.
This achievement of the 43rd IB in facilitating their return to the folds of the law mustered for productive use these individuals which otherwise would have been lost to a wayward group.
I then join higher headquarters in congratulating 43rdIB for a job well done. And to "our prodigal brothers," welcome back!
