Recovered by the soldiers of the the 95th Infantry Battalion, 5th Infantry Division, Philippine Army included one M16 rifle, one M14 rifles, bomb making materials (explosive components, grenades, and a capacitor), one cellphone with an electric cord, and an ICOM battery park with charger. These were surrendered by members known as "Ka Ganer" (regular member of the NPA since 2019) and "Ka Abner" (member of the People's Militia) in Barangay Buyasan, San Mariano, Isabela last December 30, 2020.

"The actions of the former rebels are testament that they are already fed up with the deceptions and false promises of the terrorist group. Further, it proved their commitment and sincerity to return to the folds of the law and abandon their armed struggle." said MGen Laurence E. Mina, PA, commander of the 5th Infantry Division.
