KORONADAL CITY, Philippines — Five persons, including a village chair and a councilman, were wounded when members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) attacked a barangay in Lutayan, Sultan Kudarat province, Wednesday.
The rebels fled when government forces from the Army and the police arrived, said Lutayan Vice Mayor Ibrahim Macasayon.
“Normalcy has been restored,” Macasayon told reporters Wednesday afternoon, citing the intervention of the military and the International Monitoring Team of the government-MILF peace process.
Macasayon said fighting erupted when MILF from the 109th Base Command led by Commander Tige Guiamandin attacked the administration building of Barangay Bayasong at dawn Wednesday.
