Ragay Municipal Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (MTF-ELCAC), together with joint troops from the 81st Infantry Battalion (81IB), Camarines Sur PNP, and Ragay PNP, facilitated the surrender of the said personalities who are residents of Barangays Baya, Salvacion, Laguio, Patalunan, and Agao-ao, all of Ragay.
