After two days of detention, Moro Islamic Liberation Front 118th Base Commander Ustadz Abdulwahid Tundok was released at past six Tuesday night.
This was based on the release order of Regional Trial Court Branch 13 Judge George Habido.
His release was also made possible with the help of the MILF Central Committee, Coordinating Committee on the Cessation of Hostilities, Ad Hoc Joint Action Group, and local Maguindanao officials Datu Saudi Ampatuan Mayor Samsudin Dimaukom and Shariff Aguak Mayor Bai Zahara Ampatuan.
Tundok was immediately brought to MILF’s Camp Daraparan in Sultan Kudarat where he was happily welcomed by high-ranking officials of MILF.
Tundok, who has warrants for multiple murder and arson, was arrested Sunday afternoon at a Marines checkpoint in Cotabato City.
The arrest alarmed Maguindanao and Cotabato City as his supporters warned of retaliation.
Tundok was treated well during his two-day detention at the 6th Infantry Division headquarters, according to Datu Saudi Ampatuan Mayor Sam Dimaukom.
Tundok is a resident of Datu Saudi Ampatuan, as most members of Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters, a group that split from MILF.
The arrest and detention was a minor snag in the ongoing peace efforts between the MILF and the Philippine government, with the MILF insisting that its members and officials enjoy temporary immunity from arrest.
