A commissioned officer and a non-commissioned officer of the 27th Infantry Battalion (IB) of the Philippine Army under 301st and 601st Brigade of the 6th Infantry Division conducted barangay to barangay campaigned in the municipality of Lake Sebu, South Cotabato recently.
A source, who refused to be named for security reason, said that a certain Major Dodoy Steba and Sergeant Apiong Steba launched the “poison campaign” to win the sympathy of the dominated constituents Indigenous People (IPs), mainly belonging to the T’boli tribe, of the said municipality. They also enjoined them, the report added, to oppose and disagree to the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro (FAB) signed by the Government of the Philippines (GPH) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) last October 15, 2012 in Malacañang.
Accordingly, the two officers of the Philippine Army coached the IPs to adopt a negative stance against the FAB. The duo also threatened and warned the IPs that should they opt to prepare a petition letter for inclusion in the Bangsamoro Government they would regret later.
The source urge the Government of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (GPH-MILF) Joint Coordination Committee on the Cessation of Hostilities (JCCCH) to look into the report and conduct proper investigation regarding this scenario.
They said that under the GPH-MILF Agreement on the Cessation of Hostilities (CCCH) this is provocative act against the civilian, done by the AFP. They cited Article VI of the FAB which is the Basic Rights that the Indigenous People’s rights shall be respected.
Why are these officers violating the provision of the FAB and above all, defying the policy of the Aquino administration of the primacy of the peace process, the source asked.
However, as of this writing Luwaran is still double-checking the report.
