Central Mindanao security situation still stable -- 6ID Cmdr

From the Philippine News Agency (Aug 6): Central Mindanao security situation still stable -- 6ID Cmdr

Despite some delays being experienced in the passage of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), the security situation in Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF)-controlled areas in Central Mindanao is still stable, 6th Infantry Division commander Brig. Gen. Edmundo Pangilinan said Wednesday.

"The security situation in Central Mindanao is very good albeit we (still) have some skirmishing (with members of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters and bandits ) in Reina Regente (Datu Piang, Maguindanao). These people are harassing our troops based in Reina Regente," he said in Filipino.

The 6th Infantry Division commander stated that this attacks are just meant to derail the ongoing peace talks.

Pangilinan stressed that they are still to monitor disenchantment from MILF ranks in their area of operations.

"Our relations with them (MILF) are still good," Pangilinan stated.

The 6th Infantry Division chief added that he also does not see the MILF, despite the slowdown in the BBL passage, becoming a security threat.
