MILF Weapons Transfer to Storage Facility

Manila  – After the historic decommissioning ceremony on the morning of June 16 held at the Old Provincial Capitol in Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao which was witnessed by President Benigno S. Aquino III, the weapons turned over by the MILF were transported in the afternoon to a storage facility that has been prepared by the Independent Decommissioning Body (IDB) in Camp Iranun.

The decommissioned firearms, composed of 51 high-powered and 24 crew-serve weapons, were secured by the Verification and Monitoring Assistance Team under the IDB (IDB-VMAT)‎ with a unit from the Joint Peace and Security Team composed of elements from the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), the Philippine National Police (PNP), and the MILF’s Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces (BIAF).
