From InterAksyon (Mar 18): What happened in the Jabidah massacre 46 years ago? Groups stage rally to remember
What happened in the Jabidah massacre 46 years ago? Progressive groups here are scheduled to hold a protest rally Tuesday to commemorate the bloody event that is believed to have started the modern Moro insurgencies in Mindanao.
Among the leading groups that will lead the rally in Tantawan Park this morning are Suara Bangsamoro, Liga ng Kabataang Moro, and Kawagib. They are calling for justice for the victims of the massacre, said Jerome Aba, spokesman of Suara Bangsamoro-Cotabato.
Last week, officials of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao formally remembered the cold-blooded murder of 14 to 68 Moros recruited to the Armed Forces of the Philippines to reclaim Sabah. The late dictator President Ferdinand Marcos ordered the covert training of the Moro recruits, who were allegedly killed trying to escape their training camp in Corregidor Island.
Muslim Mindanao Act 671 declared today as Bangsamoro Day, a holiday for the entire region. The Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) is also said to celebrate its founding day today.
Employees of the Regional Governor Compound, led by ARMM Governor Mujiv Hataman, also had a Walk for Peace to remember the Moro martyrs.
Hataman will be in Corregidor for a commemorative activity there.

It should come as no surprise that rabble rousing Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) front organizations are in the vanguard of the protest actions cited above. It seems that this about all they do well. Suara Bangsamoro (Vocie of the Moro People), Liga ng Kabataang Moro (League of Moro Youth), and Kawagib (Rights) are all CPP Moro-based CPP front groups.
