DISPLACEMENT IN SULU
Law enforcement operations of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) against the Abu Sayyaf group (ASG) have displaced more than 3,000 people in Patikul municipality in Sulu Province since January 2019. Displaced families are mobile, and tend to their crops during harvest season and then return to their host communities. Due to high risk of kidnapping and ongoing military operations, access remains limited. UNHCR working with local NGOs plans an IDP profiling in the island provinces, including Sulu to ensure the real IDPs are counted and receive assistance from the government and humanitarian agencies.
DISPLACEMENT IN MAGUINDANAO
According to the Protection Cluster, on 9 November fighting between government armed forces and Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) faction with alleged allegiance to the Islamic State group in Barangay Tukalinapao in Mamasapano municipality resulted to displacement of 14,300 people. As of 14 November, the Mamasapano DRRMO reported a total of 520 families remain displaced from Barangays Tukanalipao and Pimbalkan, all staying with relatives. Local authorities continue to monitor the situation.
DISPLACEMENT IN NORTH COTABATO
An encounter between government forces and a non-state armed group on 23 October in Barangay Tumbras, Midsayap, North Cotabato province resulted in the displacement of nearly 500 families who are currently staying in evacuation centres in barangays Tumbras and Kapinpilan.

Humanitarian agencies face challenges in providing assistance as most of the displaced IPs are not officially recognized as IDPs.
NORTH COTABATO EARTHQUAKES
A series of earthquakes struck in Tulunan and Makilala, North Cotabato, between 16 and 31 October 2019. The earthquakes caused displacement, loss of lives and extensive damage to properties and infrastructures.
