Though this encounter attributed as incidental in nature, it is the fiercest (Bloodiest) one among all encounters between BIFF and government forces since 2012. It is the biggest number of casualties on the side of the Philippine government with all their fire arms believed to have been taken including AMMO and other military accessories, by the Moro mujahid.
As expected, the Bangsamoro Government can sufficiently deliver the basic services needed by the people of the Moroland, hence a lasting peace shall definitely be achieved. However when one refers to the peace and order condition within the supposedly area of coverage of the Bangsamoro government since 2012, will our expectation be realized?.
