Three Islamist insurgents surrender in Mindanao

[Mindanao Examiner] The Philippine Army said it has three Islamist insurgents in custody after they surrendered to troops in Lanao del Sur province in Mindanao.

Military spokesman Clint Antipala said the three are members of the so-called Dawlah Islamiah and the Maute group which besieged Marawi City last year and left hundreds of people dead. He said the rebels surrendered in the village of Pawak in Saguiaran town on Friday afternoon.

Regional army commander Roseller Murillo urged other rebels to surrender peacefully. He said, "We are willing to accept surenderees and encourage others to return to the mainstream society. Their surrender is significant and we hope this would inspire other members to do so. Rest assured that we will take care of their welfare."
