DAVAO CITY – The town mayor of South Upi in Maguindanao province has urged authorities to help them settle the conflict that has sent hundreds of residents fleeing from their homes.
“Aside from the primary basic needs, which is food assistance for the affected families, we need peaceful communities in our municipalities through the mediation of leaders,”
South Upi Mayor Reynalbert Insular said in a statement released by the Bangsamoro Government Friday.
Insular survived an ambush on his convoy last January 3 in Barangay Pandan, a month after the first attack of an armed group which led to the evacuation of 258 families of Sitio Manguda, Sitio Silay, and Sitio Gigti from Barangay Itaw
