Iligan City –The Iligan Bay Coast Guard enforces a mandate to Eastern Iligan Bay and Northern Mindanao fisher folks and all watercraft owners to register their boats to the Coastguard for some security numbering system. The Coastguard Security Numbering System (CSNS) is a provision in the National Coastguard Law stipulated in the Philippine Coast Guard Memorandum Circular No. 2017-001 dated 31 March 2017 also known as Safety, Security and Environmental Numbering (SSEN) System for all Philippine Registered Vessels and/or watercrafts.

Had he been given the chance to speak yesterday at Congress... "I am  Haroun Alrashid Alonto Lucman Jr. Regional Vice Governor of ARMM. I speak before you as a Maranao and for my people who are directly affected by the Marawi siege. From day 1 of the siege, I was in Marawi as instructed by our Regional Governor Mujiv Hataman, to give the assessment to the ARMM gov't so that the regional gov't are properly guided in acting upon the situation. Let me first be clear on the position of the ARMM gov't on these terror groups; we support the military campaign against them and we want them completely neutralized. We must not allow them to regroup and sow terror in our lands. ISIS is against humanity as a whole and humanity must unite in fighting them. According to the NEOC, the number of IDPs has already reached 527 thousand individuals. This number has surpassed the actual population of Marawi City which is 207 thousand persons. The reason is that even those in the...

Metro Manila.  A Maranao rescue worker became emotional on Saturday as she recalled cases of human rights violations against Marawi evacuees supposedly committed by government troops. During the joint session of Congress to extend martial law in Mindanao, Samira Gutoc-Tomawis recalled stories of evacuees who claimed they were tortured, psychologically interrogated, and stripped in evacuation centers. Gutoc, Ranao Rescue Team Convenor, shared how a mother brought to their team her 20-year-old autistic child, who was allegedly tortured and "psychologically" interrogated if he was a member of ISIS-linked Maute. "The child was brought to the hospital because the mother claims the child, hinulugan po ng mainit na tubig ang kaniyang kamay after being found in Saduc area sa Marawi. He was psychologically interrogated if Maute siya. May isang baril din daw po na (hit with the gun) sa kamay niya," he said. Gutoc, a former member of the Bangsamoro Transition Comm...

Kalinaw Mindanaw. Sumulpot ito sa Searsolin, Cagayan de Oro 1986, kung saan nabuo din ang Kalinaw Mindanaw o peace advocates sa buong Mindanao-Sulu. Meron sana ng tono na may notes na ginawa ni Frank Englis, direktor ng Octava Choral Group ng MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology, pero hindi ko alam kung paano ito ipapasok sa FB. Ang ginawa ng ibang mga tribu, gumawa ng sariling tono. Kanya-kanya pero ang laman o mensahe, isa lang. Kalinaw Mindanaw Peace Credo Tagalog (Original): (Rudy “Ompong” Rodil) Kalinaw Mindanaw!

9 more days into ending the MARTIAL LAW, civil society are consulting on the options of bakwits/evacuees and affected communities. 51 days of suffering, please leave us, enough is enough all ARMED FORCES FROM ALL SIDES . Meantime, we in Ranao Rescue Team, hold in our hands medical reports on patients from hospitals that suffered from the Marawi crisis . While we thank the hospitals for sponsoring many of the IDPs' expenses , we urge the AFP to seriously look into the ramifications ie trauma from armed operations. Use of aerial, ground and various attacks have been unbearable to the senses of residents. The shake from the F 150 is literally earth-shaking. We are somehow thankful in the statement of the Armed Forces of the Philippines that it will do its best to end the Marawi conflict within 15 days. We urge our future be NOT suspended by a promise and such action to CLOSE DOWN ARMED OPERATIONS be fulfilled and that LAW ENFORCEMENT TAKES EFFECT against those violating...

  By:   Carino Rey Antequisa  Few days after the start of the Marawi seige, just as the aerial bombing started, I meet a Maranao friend who evacuated in Iligan City. One of his comment that stuck to my head was: "the bombing will recruit more jihadist, its just like the Martial law war that recruited more Moro rebels and NPA guerrillas. Its sad." In his Maranao accented Bisaya, he added: "Nasugdan na man, wala ta mahimo, mag-andam na ta... Muslim ug Christian ... kita tanan biktima. Tabla!" I smiled and jokingly said: "Na... mouli na lang mi ani sa Bohol." He joked back: "Dili man safe didto, wa man mahurot ang Abu Sayaf didto. Naa pa lain grupo, nagtago." We parted ways smiling, but deep inside worried. As I read the Article below, it sends shivers down my spine. Its the story of Kiram, who was recruited to the Maute Group because he was attracted out of adventurism and the lure of income. His revelations has very profound implication...
