File photo of Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) leader Habier Malik
The rumored death of Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) leader Habier Malik has yet to be confirmed, Malacanang announced Tuesday.
Malik led the MNLF attacks in Zamboanga last September. He has not surrendered after being issued a warrant of arrest and was rumored to have already died from diabetes.
Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma said during a briefing at the Palace that they are still waiting for updates from the Armed Forces of the Philippines regarding the matter.
Coloma also stressed that Malik’s rumored death will not affect in any way the peace process and that the national government was more preoccupied identifying the cause of rebellion.
“We are looking at the whole peace process. We are looking at institutions, organizations, and not just individuals,” he said in Filipino.
“If there is a reason for a rebellion, it is not affected by the life or death of a single individual only,” he added.
Coloma said the national government was also looking forward to the completion of the peace process by the end of the month to avoid more cases of rebellions.
