ISIS inspired BIFF attacked the town center of Datu Piang, Maguindanao

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Dulawan, Datu Piang Town Center under attack by 'alleged' ISIS inspired armed group. Latest report says security forces have started to mitigate the ongoing firefight.

Around 50 armed men stormed a police station  last night.

Army Chief Lt Gen Cirilito Sobejana said that police and military units have managed to control the situation—there are no reports of casualties as of this time.

Sobejana said combined units managed to repel the attack. "As of now, we are in control of the town proper," Sobejana said in a message. He once served as commander of the 6ID based in Maguindanao

Armed men allegedly belonging to the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters burned a police patrol car.

An activist and her baby jailed.

A mayor is shot dead.

Datu Piang, Maguindanao is under terrorist attack in the middle of the night. 

Dark times.

Nah! It aint dark times its just another Thursday.

Our entire default reality is dark times.

Meanwhile, our state remains unbothered by red-tagging progressive organizations. This is the rippling effects of this draconian political climate.

Blazing fire in Notre Dame School in Datu Piang, Maguindanao. Is this ISIS-related? Their poblacion is surrounded by group of militants. 

Residents report that the Church and the School is under fire, while no confirmed reports has reached the Police yet. 

Datu Piang has had a long history of similar incidents with the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters where military operations as recent as March 20 last year has overrun their enclaves.

A 2018 explosion in the same place has killed two farmers while a 2014 explosion takes place in a buss terminal.

Clashes in a bridge project in 2016 has resulted in the death of 3 BIFF, while similar conflicts occurred also in 2013.

A bombing incident in July 12, 2010, has also killed a 7 year old, along with wounding 4 others.

With this long history of terroristic activity in Datu Piang, we are to see if the new "Anti-Terror Law" would have some teeth and strike some change in the situation.

6th Infantry Division spokesman LtCol Anhouvic Atilano: Ang nangyari dito ay simpleng pag-atake para i-harass ang police chief ng Datu Piang.

Simple? They call it simple? Maybe because it has been a regular situation that it has been a common event for them.

Can we just not cause more pain and suffering other than what 2020 has already brought?
