This is OUR Mindanao!
Hundreds of residents from Aleosan and Pikit in North Cotabato fled their homes on Monday (August 20, 2012) due to the reported presence of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF). They feared getting caught in the crossfire should clashes erupt between the BIFF and government forces. Most of the evacuees are now staying at the evacuation centers in Pikit.

Mindanao News and Information Cooperative Center (MNICC) is a cooperative composed of independent, professional journalists who believe and practice people empowerment through media. We also believe that Mindanao is not all bad news and that our responsibility as journalists and information providers is to ensure a mixed balance of reports beyond the usual fare published in national newspapers or aired on radio and TV.
