Tribal groups expressed concern over the fresh warning of a military-formed tribal armed unit that it was declaring a pangayaw, or tribal war, against the New People's Army.
Genasque Enriquez, a tribal activist leader and Katribu Partylist National Vice Chairperson, was freed Saturday morning after posting bail on three frustrated murder charges before the Regional Trial Court Branch 29 in Surigao City.
The National Democratic Front alleged that a recent government air strike has “killed three civilian T'bolis, including one woman.”
A leader of an indigenous people’s group arrested by government agents earlier today said he was “never in hiding” and that he is not “guilty” of the charges filed against him.
Government agents arrested on Friday in Surigao City a tribal activist and a former nominee to the partylist Katribu in the 2010 national elections
