MILF: Three killed, two wounded in Moro farmers clash with Ilonggos

Posted to the MILF Website (Jun 10): Three killed, two wounded in Moro farmers clash with Ilonggos

Three  Ilonggo men were killed while two members of the Philippine National Police (PNP) were injured in a clash between a group of Moro farmers and Ilonggo armed  men on Saturday, June 7 at the boundary of Sitio Nazareth, Amas  and East Patadon both barangays of Kidapawan City.
   
The dead bodies of  Ilonggos  who are members of Barangay Peace Keeping  Action Team (BPAT) of Barangay Amas were identified as Aurelio Calugmaton (30 yrs. Old), Bonie Vicente (23 yrs. Old) and civilian Ramboy  Palimba (26 yrs.old).

The three killed men served as guides of the two injured police men who rescued the group of Ilonggos during the clash while the two policemen who are members of the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) were identified as SPO4 Randy Apostol and SPO4 Edwin Maguate.

The clash is believed to be due to a land conflict between the Moro farmers and Ilonggos  in the boundary of Sitio Nazareth, Amas  and East Patadon in Kidapawan City.

Allegedly, the firefight was a retaliation by Moro farmers after the killing of a certain Moro farmer Kenti Diagao Matalam on May 30, 2014, a resident of West Patadon,  Matalam who is said to be killed by the Ilonggo men.

Meanwhile, members of the CCH-MILF and LMT, North Cotabato Governor Lala Mendoza, and Kidapawan City Mayor Joseph Evangelista had a meeting to discuss the creation of a Joint Peace Keeping Force who will come from the Philippine Army and the MILF.
