From the Philippine Star (Feb 9, 2020): Soldier wounded in BIFF attack (By John Unson)

MAGUINDANAO, Philippines – A personnel of the Army’s 6th Infantry Division was wounded in a gun attack by suspected members of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters or Dawla Islamiya on Friday.

S/Sgt. Rex Maleficiado, 38, was on his way home from duty at Camp Gonzalo Siongco in Datu Odin Sinsuat when he was shot near a Catholic church less than a kilometer away from the Army camp.


Maleficiado was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Police said the BIFF is known for attacking off-duty soldiers and bombing non-military targets to avenge the deaths of their cohorts in clashes with government troopers.
