Units of the 6th Infantry Division are now conducting
"focused military operations" against the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom
Fighters (BIFF) at Barangay Bulol, Pikit town, North
Cotabato Saturday morning.
Capt. Jo-ann Petinglay, 6th Infantry Division spokesperson,
said operations started 6: 30 a.m. when their units encountered an undetermined
number of BIFF members.
She added that the operation is intended to drive away the
BIFF forces whose presence has caused displacement among the people in the area
of Pagalungan, Maguindanao and Pikit, North Cotabato .
No casualties reported as of this report.
"6th Infantry Division and the PNP will not allow that
these rebel groups continue to create havoc and fear among the populace in the
areas involved and will exert utmost effort to contain the fighting in specific
areas so that it will not spill over adjacent barangays and to ensure that
order and security will be restored," Petinglay concluded.
