| Abu Sayyaf follower yields in Sulu town Posted: 02 Sep 2021 08:49 AM PDT A MEMBER of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) has surrendered to government authorities in the municipality of Panamao, Sulu, the military reported Thursday, September 2, 2021. Lieutenant Colonel Eduard Olaso, Marine Battalion Landing Team-7 (MBLT-7) commander, identified the ASG surrenderer as Hamja Hajirol Hambali alias Abu Kamlun, who yielded a caliber .45 pistol. Olaso said Hambali, through the collaboration of his command and municipal government of Panamao, has surrendered on Monday, August 30, at his headquarters in Seit Lake Poblacion. Later on, Hambali transferred affiliation to the group of Abu Sayyaf leaders Sansibar Bencio and the late Hairulla Abduraja, which is based in Bud Bawis, Panamao. "The surrender of Hambali is indeed the result of our concerted efforts with the municipal and barangay local government units (LGUs) in convincing other active Abu Sayyaf members to go back into the folds of the law in order to sustain our peace-building efforts in the area of operation," Olaso said. The municipal government of Panamao has extended initial assistance to Hambali after he surrendered. "The LGU of Panamao municipality will give its best effort in making a step in the comprehensive mainstreaming of our surrenderers with the available National Government and Municipal Task Force-Elac (to end local armed conflict) programs," said Mayor Al-Frazier Abdurajak. The MTF-Elac is the local counterpart of the national government's Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict.

The Department of Agriculture regional office reported Thursday, September 2, that August's log is also the ZFPC's highest unloading record since February 2019 aside from being the highest volume of this year. The DA regional office said that based on the data, big-eyed scad, popularly known as matambaka, significantly outranked all the other fish species in terms of volume. The agriculture agency noted that the PFDA-ZFPC stands as one of the sturdiest economic pillars in Mindanao despite the prevailing coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic. Meanwhile, the ZFPC said it will continue to work round-the-clock to maintain a high volume of quality and affordable fish supply to all its clients and stakeholders in the months to come.
