PROSPERIDAD, Philippines - Gunmen freed Sunday the 47 hostages they were holding at a jungle hideout in the southern Philippines after government negotiators agreed not to arrest the outlaws for the abductions or past murder charges, officials said.

The remote jungle encampment had been surrounded by troops and snipers. Vice Governor Santiago Cane of Agusan del Sur province said the hostages left aboard two army trucks. The gunmen â€" former government-armed militiamen â€" then surrendered their assault rifles, grenades and ammunition.

"Declaring officially that all hostages are free. Yes, at last," Cane told reporters in a cellphone message.
