The successful implementation of government infrastructure projects in Maguindanao’s former bandit strongholds is attributed to the backchannel security support of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) according to Regional Governor Mujiv Hataman of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM)..
The Office of the Regional Governor and the ARMM’s public works department have more than P100 million worth of on-going projects in several areas in Maguindanao that were previously occupied by the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF).
On Monday, Hataman said that some projects in the “SPMS box,” a swath of contiguous lands surrounded by the Shariff Aguak, Pagatin, Mamasapano and Salbu areas in Maguindanao, are now more than 90 percent done as a result of the security support from the MILF.
The so-called SPMS box is a military devised geographical locator for BIFF bastions in the towns of Shariff Aguak, in Mamasapano, and in Barangays Pagatin and Salbu in Salibo and Datu Saudi municipalities, respectively.
Without heavy security escort, Hataman, his public works secretary Don Mustapha Loong and Engineer James Mlok of the 2nd District Engineering Office of Maguindanao, on Saturday inspected ARMM’s multi-million projects in Barangay Baital in Rajah Buayan, in Barangay Tukanalipao, Mamasapano and in Pendililang District in Datu Saudi.
Among the “peace projects” under the Hataman administration in Tukanalipao is the now 98 percent complete 900-meter concrete farm-to-market road connected to a durable footbridge over a wide river, linking the barangay center to vast tracts of corn farms where MILF and BIFF rebels and PNP-Special Action Force (SAF) commandos figured in a deadly 11-hour combat on January 25. At least 44 members of the SAF, 17 MILF members and five civilians were killed.
Loong and Mlok have been monitoring together the projects of the ARMM’s Department of Public Works and Highways in Tukanalipao using drone technology and satellite-based geo-tagging system.
Loong, who is also an engineer, and Mlok also showed to Hataman and reporters the newly-constructed public school building in the center of Barangay Tukanalipao, also implemented after the Mamasapano incident.
The DPWH-ARMM is also still constructing, under the supervision of Mlok, several more school buildings and water system facilities in Tukanalipao and in nearby areas in Mamasapano.
Mlok said all of their public works thrusts inside the SPMS box are being closely coordinated with local commanders of the MILF, via the municipal peace and order councils chaired by incumbent mayors.
