Executive Director Lt. Col. Artemio Matibag signing the certificate of transfer of the historical marker near the airstrip where the massacre occurred during the 47th Commemoration of Jabidah massacre on Wednesday (March 18, 2015) held at the Tailside, Corregidor Island. The Jabidah massacre occurred on March 18, 1968 where an undetermined number of Filipino Muslim recruits who were being trained in Corregidor Island as part of a commando unit called Jabidah were killed by their training officers after a covert plan to reclaim Sabah was exposed. One survived the ordeal to expose the massacre that pushed then University of the Philippine professor Nur Misuari to form the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) that started the decades old war in Mindanao.

We are all brothers who must live peacefully and progressively,” Camlian, a former MNLF combatant, said.
