Two communist militants surrendered to the Philippine military forces following a series of firefight in the southern province of Davao Oriental.
Officials identified one of those who surrendered as Felipe Nacion, a member of the New People's Army's Team Baking, who operated in Mati City. The other, who was injured in the clash, was not identified, but officials said he is a senior militant leader under the Pulang Bagani Command.
Capt. Alex Mindalano, of the 701st Infantry Brigade, said troops also recovered six improvised explosives and at least 3 dozen backpacks left behind by NPA militants.
