IP, LGU call for dismantling of MILF camp in Iligan

From the Philippine News Agency (Mar 19): IP, LGU call for dismantling of MILF camp in Iligan

Due to complaints by tribal groups and local government officials, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front's 103rd Base Command in Iligan City, Lanao Del Norte was recommended dismantled.

The complaint was made by Datu Lantung Ko Limunsudan and Higaonon chieftain Deodato S. Abugan Sr.

The camp is located near the boundary of Sitio Limonsodan, Barangay Waterfalls in Rogongon, Iligan

They alleged that MILF fighters under Abdul Sango Amoran of the 305th Guerilla Unit recruited 85 Higaonon tribesmen and Maranaws from Bukidnon and brought to the camp from May 16 to 31 last year.

Col. Gilbert Gapay, 2nd Mechanized Infantry Brigade commanding officer, facilitated the recommendation of the complaint to the Government of the Philippines Coordinating Committee on the Cessation of Hostilities (GPH CCCH).

The protest submitted to GPH CCCH will be acted upon through the conduct of Joint Site Verification Mission which will be composed by the Joint GPH-MILF CCCH and Ad Hoc Joint Action Group (AHJAG), IMT, and The Provincial Local Monitoring Team, Joint Ceasefire Monitoring Post and representatives from local government units, Elders and non-government organization Non-violent Peace Force.

Inter-agency meditation and protocols will be sought to resolve issues peacefully.
