COTABATO CITY, Philippines — Ten gunmen identified with a slain mayor included on President Rodrigo Duterte's list of alleged narco-politicians surrendered to the police Thursday. Anso also turned in three live rifle-propelled grenades and two 40 millimeter grenade projectiles. Ferro said credit for the surrender of Anso and his companions also has to go to the local government unit of Parang and its municipal police force. Anso and his nine followers all hail from Parang, a coastal town in the first district of Maguindanao. Ferro said Anso and his men were followers of a former mayor who was killed in an anti-narcotics operation in Cotabato City about three years ago.
