| [PhilStar] At least 11 members of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters surrendered in Maguindanao province yesterday. The BIFF militants led by Sindatok Dilna, claimed they operated in M’lang, North Cotabato and General S.K. Pendatun, Maguindanao, said they have lost their faith in BIFF leadership for ignoring abuses of militants against innocent civilians. In Basilan, a sub-leader of the Abu Sayyaf and five of his men surrendered on Wednesday. The rebels, led by Apan Apino, alias Mudzrin, surrendered following an operation launched by the Joint Task Force Basilan. At a debriefing, the rebels said they are tired of fighting, citing relentless military pressure against the Abu Sayyaf. |
