A total of 32 surrenderees came from Cagayan Valley, 22 from Ilocos, 19 from Zamboanga Peninsula, 17 each from Central Luzon and Bicol Regions, 16 from Central Visayas, 14 from National Capital Region, 12 each from Cordillera and Northern Mindanao, eight from Soccsksargen (South Cotabato- Cotabato- Sultan Kudarat- Sarangani- General Santos City), six from Eastern Visayas, five from Caraga, and four from Western Visayas.
Meanwhile, most of the surrenderees were convicted murderers and rapists with 130 and 117, respectively.
