36 Days After

On September 2013, armed men of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) engaged the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) in Zamboanga City. Reason and motivation of the MNLF remain to be a debate. Until now different stories from different people are being told. For weeks, the fighting continued leaving thousands of people homeless. 36 days after the siege, I had the opportunity to see the aftermath.

    Great post here :D I love your photos, so dramatic, just getting the emotions out there. wow.

    I've visited the place also after the "battle" and the destruction is indeed devastating. disheartening. ANd yet it is still neglected, esp the deep issues that resulted to these.

    Anyway, I have to ask, are you a Tausug or related to any Tausug? Would love to include you in our small network of bloggers :) Looking forward for more of your posts.

    Good day!
