Ilaga

Ilaga

The Ilaga (Visayan: rat) is a Christian militia in the Philippines that operated during the 1970’s in Southern Mindanao that fought against Moro Muslim militias. Increased tensions in the Philippines since 2008 have since seen the reemergence of the armed vigilante group calling themselves the Bag-ong Ilaga or New Ilaga.

Fiel, Bulatlat Alipato Publications, retrieved September 14, 2008 ] Since 2008 violence flared up with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and the Armed Forces of the Philippines after the Supreme Court of the Philippines overruled the proposed treaty for an Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
