Timuay Tinunda Ambangan, a notable and respectable Lumad leader of Cotabato Province who belongs to the Aromanen Menuvu tribe passed away due to heart enlargement and kidney disorder on May 15, 2014 at 9:00 o’clock in the evening in a Davao Hospital.
Timuay Ambangan hails from Carmen, Cotabato and one of the well-known and responsible leaders of the indigenous people in Cotabato. For many years he struggled and fought for Lumads rights. Throughout his life he was also very active in participating in peace fora, symposia and other related activities conducted by the Mindanao Peoples’ Peace Movement (MPPM) and other NGOs and GOs in Mindanao.
Timuay Ambangan was recognized by the Southern Christian College (SCC) as a partner leader in all peace and development programs in Aroman, Carmen, Cotabato. His leadership inspired and encouraged Lumad youth to advance their struggle for respect and recognition of their ancestral domain. Aromanen Menuvu is of the Indigenous peoples tribes in Southern Philippines who co-existed and live peacefully with their Moro brothers.
They were the descendants of Datu Mamalu, the brother of Rajah Tabunaway, the forefather of the fierce and brave Moros.
During Spanish time, a certain Menuvu leader fought against the white colonizers, while their brethren Moros fought for more than three centuries until the Americans arrived that led to another struggle against foreign aggression.
(With the demised of Timuay Tinunda Ambangan, we wish to extend to the bereaved families and Menuvu People our heartfelt condolence. We are with you in this sadden and painful moment)
