After having been arrested, placed under military custody and freed on February 25 upon order by the court, a thanksgiving ceremony was held on March 1 when security forces turned over arrested Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) MILF-BIAF Commander Wahid Tundok to his group.
Col. Dickson Hermoso, spokesman of the Army’s 6th Infantry Division, was quoted saying, “The thanksgiving or “kanduli” would be held amid the positive outlook on the peace talks between the government and the MILF.
“The higher interest and peace prevailed. We are moving toward that because the comprehensive agreement on the Bangsamoro will be signed anytime,” he said.
Tundok is the commander of the MILF’s 118th Base Command and has been charged with multiple murder and arson.
Combined members of the Philippine Marines and Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) arrested Comdr. Tundok in Cotabato City last Sunday, February 23 by virtue of a warrant of arrest issued by the Regional Trial Court Branch 15 of Cotabato City.
Three days after the arrest, government negotiators announced that the warrant of arrest against Tundok had been recalled and the cases filed against him shall be reinvestigated.
They even thanked the ceasefire panel and the Ad Hoc Joint Action Group for ensuring the “smooth resolution of the matter.”
The recall of Tundok’s arrest warrant came as the government and the MILF are preparing to sign a historic final peace deal, which they believe, would solve the Mindanao problem.
Officials said the peace agreement may be signed by the end of the month.
