Army retakes Maguindanao town after 6-HR BIFF occupation

Baldomar said the military gave local leaders time to negotiate with the gunmen to withdraw from the town to prevent bloodshed while prepared to dislodge them by force.

After an hourlong offensive, the BIFF gunmen scampered away toward the hills bordering Maguindanao and Sultan Kudarat provinces.No one was reported to have been wounded during the clash. Baldomar said bullet holes in the public market were the only damage reported. The BIFF gunmen belong to a faction led by Kagi Karialan, which maintains strongholds around the Ligawasan Marsh, about 50 km away from Datu Paglas.They have been under pressure from intensified military offensives since they tried to take control of Datu Piang town on Dec. 3 last year, and for attacking an outpost of the Joint Peace and Security Team composed of government troops and members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front in Datu Saudi Ampatuan town on March 18.

“Our freedom fighters were there to rest and were about to return to our camps when soldiers arrived and fired at us. We were forced to return fire,” he said.

Makes no sense of these comments. If the miltary wants to partake these hoax why not just take over this government and be done with it.

Bilyon bilyong pondo ng NTF ELCAC pati Intel funds ni Duterte, nalusutan kayo ng 100 na armadong tao?

Pantakip sa pag urong ng bayag ni duterte sa debate

Tagal niyo naman nag call of duty. Battle royale ba o multiplayer lang? Hahaha

Umaasa siguro si rodrigo na mada-divert ng kiskisang ito ang ating pansin sa kanyang karuwagan. Ang hindi niya alam ay higit na pinaalala lang nito na kung gagawa ka ng gulo - pangulo ka man o BIFF - ay siguraduhin mo munang may sapat kang kakayanan at tapang. DuterteDuwag

Iz a hoax. No chour.
