PNP, BARMM execs meet to improve security in Mindanao
MANILA (July 8, 2023) – Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen.
Benjamin Acorda Jr. has met with Al Haj Murad Ebrahim, chief minister
of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), to
discuss areas of cooperation that will further improve the security
situation in Mindanao.
Acorda said Ebrahim’s visit on Friday in Camp Crame was part
of the BARMM’s officials' commitment to peace and order in the region
amid the recent incident in Muslim when a police officer was wounded and
several cops and soldiers were wounded in a clash with a former vice
mayor of Maimbung town.
“It was an official visit and
at the same time to renew commitment in the path of peace especially in
the BARMM area. We in the PNP recognized all the mechanisms that are in
place as far as the peace and order situation in the area is concerned,”
Acorda said in a statement on Saturday.
“We also
renewed our cooperation and active coordination. The real purpose for
this is the de-escalation of hostilities in Mindanao and if possible, if
we can put up some developments there without necessarily the cost of
lives and other hostilities in the area.”
The service of
arrest warrants against Pando Mudjasan led to a fierce gun battle and
resulted in more than 6,000 local residents being forced to flee their
homes.
The incident was blamed on lack of coordination.
Mudjasan is still at large and the PNP is coordinating with BARMM for the conduct of pursuit operations.
Acorda and Ebrahim also discussed security preparations for the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections slated Oct. 30.
“That
is also one of the discussions that we had earlier together with the
BARMM officials na kami magtutulungan (that we help each other out). So
we identified some areas medyo na may nakikita natin na mga (where we
see the) presence of threat groups,” Acorda said.
Ebrahim
assured the PNP and the Armed Forces of the Philippines that they will
do their best to maintain peace and order in the region.
“We
all know that in the past years, BARMM has been very unstable. But now,
gradually we are now returning to normal. We are assuring the PNP that
we will help in the implementation of the peace and order situation in
the area,” Ebrahim was quoted by the PNP. (PNA)
