CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS

INCIDENT BACKGROUND

After the Special Action Force (SAF) Police operation on 25 January in Mamasapanao, Maguindanao that resulted in SAF and

Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) deaths, a chain of events led to a splinter group, the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom

Fighters (BIFF) relocation to specific populated areas that caused the local population to flee in fear of a conflict. Firefights

between the MILF and BIFF occurred during the second and third weeks of February. On 25 February 2015, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) declared an all-out offensive against the BIFF two weeks after

the intense fighting between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and BIFF in Pagalungan municipality, Maguindanao

province. The all-out offensive is declared in areas within the so-called “SPMS Box” (Salibo, Pagatin, Mamasapano, Shariff

Aguak) in Maguindanao, areas that are known to have presence of the BIFF. Following this declaration, the provincial

government of Maguindanao, declared a state of calamity in 12 municipalities, Shariff Saydona Mustapha, Datu Saudi

Ampatuan, Shariff Aguak Mamasapano, Datu Salibo, Datu Unsay, Rajah Buayan, Datu Hoffer, Pagalungan, Datu Montawal,

Datu Piang and Sultan sa Barungis. A series of clashes ensued as the AFP pursue the BIFF in locations where they have been

identified.

CURRENT SITUATION

Over 24,714 families (123,537 persons) were displaced in 15 municipalities of Maguindanao. This is the biggest displacement

since the 2008 MOA-AD debacle. The number of displaced persons reported by the government includes those IDPs who have

sought refuge with host families. However, the figure of home-based IDPs is only from 6 out of 15 municipalities. There are at

least 75 reported evacuation sites as of this report. Some families have been displaced for more than a month now without

adequate humanitarian assistance. Distribution of food packages, some health and education support are part of the

coordinated assistance that is being provided by the Regional ARMM authorities. The conduct of psychosocial activities and a

small amount of non-food items have been distributed by NGOs, ICRC and UN organizations to targeted populations.

According to reports, people are fleeing because of fear of being hit during AFP ground operations and air strikes. Some IDPs

are having difficulty finding refuge in host barangays if they are perceived to have affiliation with the BIFF. Three weeks into the

offensives, there is no clear and consistent information provided to IDPs as to what areas are safe to move to or return to

collect belongings and food, including accessing their livelihood which is essential for their survival. March through April is the

harvest season in Maguindanao.

There is a growing concern over the duration and scope of the ongoing military offensives, causing anxiety, distress, exhaustion

and confusion amongst the IDPs. The AFP is present in communities, in houses, madrasahs and other government structures

such as schools, and barangay halls including in some distribution sites even after the fighting has transferred to other areas.

There are identified ‘no go areas’ restricting movements of civilians. In Barangay Penditen, Datu Salibo, 6 men were held by

military from morning until late afternoon. There are reports of strafing or indiscriminate firing in some areas where people try

to return to their houses/farms and persons detained as suspected BIFF members, including a school teacher.

IDPs are highly mobile depending on where they can have access to food and basic services and where they feel safe.

Government authorities are trying their best to cope with the displaced population but they are overwhelmed by the large

numbers. Out of 75 identified ECs across 15 municipalities, only 1 EC have a CCCM set up. No systematic registration system

of IDPs has been put in place; therefore there is little disaggregated data and identification of vulnerable persons with specific

needs amongst the population. The earliest disaggregated data will be available is next week based on Disaster Assistance

and Family Access Cards (DAFAC) which DSWD started to distribute. The large majority of the IDPs are women, children and

older persons; including 2,288 pregnant women. A substantial number of female headed households are also evident as those

are wives of MILF fighters who had to leave their communities to give way to the government’s law enforcement operations.

There is huge lack of data on IDPs that are staying with host families. With entire barangays evacuated for fear of being caught

up in the AFP operation, families have no access to their livelihoods and they are tormented by the high possibility of looting

and destruction and burning of their houses and personal goods left behind including most of their farm animals.

All the IDPs due to MILF and BIFF encounter in Datu Montawal, Pagalungan, Pikit and Sultan sa Barongis have returned soon

after the MILF and BIFF clashes stopped in these barangays (18 March 2015).

PROTECTION ISSUES AND RESPONSES (Text in blue are new updates. All protection issues reflected in this document continue to exist.)

already returned by ARMM-HEART, DSWD XII,

Mindanao Children’s Library, UNHCR, ICRC,

Mahintana Foundation.

Inter-cluster meeting was conducted on 04

March for the re-activation of RDRRMC clusters.

Rapid Disaster Assessment Needs Analysis

conducted. UNGPID Principle 24. All humanitarian assistance shall be carried out in accordance with the principles of humanity and impartiality and without discrimination. Humanitarian

assistance to internally displaced persons shall not be diverted, in particular for political or military reasons.

UNGPID Principle 25. The primary duty and responsibility for providing humanitarian assistance to internally displaced persons lies with national authorities. International

humanitarian organizations and other appropriate actors have the right to offer their services in support of the internally displaced.

Food and Nutrition

IDPs are dependent on food assistance provided by the

government and host communities. However food remains

inadequate. There are IDPs who were not able to avail of

food assistance including IDPs who are living with host

families.

Food provision by the government is only good for 2 days.

3 kilos rice

3 canned goods

4 instant noodles

The conflict happened in time for harvest. Farmers who have

invested their meagre resources in farming have lost most of

their anticipated income.. IDP families also sold their farm

animals and livestock.

Livelihood has been disrupted. Some IDPs were forced to

sell their farm animals at a lower price. Food ration is limited

such that each family receives the same amount of food

ration regardless of the size of the family.

Host barangays are now starting to complain. They are not

displaced, yet their livelihood activities were also affected by

the “no go policy”. (i.e. barangay butilen, the barangay

officials raised this concern given that most of their

contituents are fishermen.)

Most IDPs received food assistance only once from ARMM

Heart. Food packs provided to them last week were already

consumed and they are now having difficulty in finding food

and other daily needs.

ARMM HEART distributed at least 14,515 food

packs and served 9,434 families.

Food assistance provided to IDPs who have

returned by LGU of Pagalungan, ARMM HEART,

DSWD XII, Provincial Government of

Maguindanao, ICRC, Tawasul, Board Member

Angas and Paglas and Delta Cong.

Mangudadatu.

Supplemental feeding provided by DepEd in

Pagalungan, Mindanao Tulong Bakwit and LGU

Pagalungan.

In Pikit, returning IDPs were provided food

packs by DSWD XII.

Set up communal feeding centers in ECs

Non-food items

IDPs are in dire need of the following non-food items:

Tarpaulins

Blankets

Mosquito nets

Hygiene kits

Kitchen utensils

Water and Sanitation

Safe drinking water remain scarce. IDPs are exposed to risk

when fetching water. IDPs are forced to use non-drinking

water for cooking. Not all IDPs are able to buy drinking water

at P5/galloon. The lack of safe drinking water is a potential

source of water borne diseases especially among persons

with specific needs. Most of the IDPs are using level 1 water

system for drinking, while others dug well and use irrigation

water for bathing and washing.

Available latrines are being shared by at least 300 families

In Sitio Kapok, Barangay Kuloy evacuation

center, Sharif Aguak municipality, LGU provided

10 emergency hand pumps (PVC pipes) and 10

latrines.

Single drop constructed 4 toilet rooms at old

market previously occupied by IDPs in

Pagalungan.

Bathing and washing areas as well as

separate latrines with functional locks should

be established in all evacuation centers.

Recommend putting up latrine in well-lit and

designated spaces will reduce strain and

hassle for women and children to attend to

their daily needs.

per latrine. IDPs are forced to defecate on open field and

irrigation systems which will most likely affect the health of

IDPs.

In Mamasapano, there is only 1 latrine for more than 1,000

IDP families.

In upper sampao Around 107 families are using one hand

pump located at least 200-300 meters away from their

makeshift tents. (

There are available comfort rooms but there no water supply

(Katibpuan EC)

Health There is a need for culturally adaptable psycho-social

intervention for distressed families specially the children.

Government and humanitarian effort to provide psychosocial

activities is not sufficient.

There is no reported outbreak of severe diseases yet.

However, there are reported cases of coughs cold, fever,

skin diseases, gastric pain and diarrhea.

RHU has limited supplies of medicines and medical

assistance. There are medical missions being conducted

but is not regular. There is no proper support given to

pregnant and lactating women.

There is no available information on the persons with special

needs in other areas. However the LGU said that deploying

health personnel would be helpful so that IDPs know where

to go in case of emergency. Also conduct of basic health

and sanitation sessions is a need.

IPHO established medical stations in various

ECs and deployed medical personnel.

Medical mission by Plan International and

Provincial Health Unit (Maguindanao) to IDPs

who have returned in Pagalungan.

Psychosocial activities conducted by Plan

International, CFSI and Mindanao Tulong

Bakwit to IDPs in Pagalungan who have already

returned.

DOH ARMM and ARMM HEART conducted

medical missions in Datu Saudi Ampatuan.

Establish team to monitor and report on

health status of IDPs.

Psycho-social support activities for IDP

children.

Establishment of women friendly space where

mothers can breast feed their children.

Recommend medical mission specially

intended for pregnant women, nursing

mothers and elderly.

UNGPID Principle 19. All wounded and sick internally displaced persons as well as those with disabilities shall receive to the fullest extent practicable and with the least possible delay,

the medical care and attention they require, without distinction on any grounds other than medical ones. When necessary, internally displaced persons shall have access to

psychological and social services. Special attention should be paid to the health needs of women, including access to female health care providers and services, such as reproductive

health care, as well as appropriate counselling for victims of sexual and other abuses.

Education Classes are affected in 42 public schools with approximately

18,819 students. Classes have suspended in affected

areas. Some students lost their school materials during the

time that they hurriedly left their homes.

Students are anxious that they cannot graduate and have to

repeat their grade level in the next school year.

Lobby with DepEd that IDP children will be

accommodated in available schools in host

communities.

UNGPID Principle 23. Every human being has the right to education. To give effect to this right for internally displaced persons, the authorities concerned shall ensure that such

persons, in particular displaced children, receive education which shall be free and compulsory at the primary level. Education should respect their cultural identity, language and

religion. Special efforts should be made to ensure the full and equal participation of women and girls in educational programmes. Education and training facilities shall be made

available to internally displaced persons, in particular adolescents and women, whether or not living in camps, as soon as conditions permit.

Ra 7610 22 (c) Delivery of basic social services such as education, primary health and emergency relief services shall be kept unhampered.

Access to information There are IDPs camps or evacuation centers who were not

included list by government agencies such as in Barangay

Libutan, Mamasapano. As a result they were unable to

receive food assistance. There might be similar cases in

other affected areas including IDPs living in host families.

IDPs do not receive any information as to what areas are

already safe to return.

Limited assistance were provided due to limited information

coming out on the status of the IDPs. ARMM-HEART reported

at least 73 ECs. There is also a growing concern on the

veracity of the data coming out and most humanitarian

agencies relies on secondary data.

No available disaggregated data on sex and age of the IDPs.

There is limited information on the frequency and duration of

humanitarian assistance provided.

The IDPs are uncertain of the duration of the displacement,

they lack access to information corresponding to their

situation which puts them in a lot of distress. Their only

source of information are the barangay officials.

Humanitarian agencies also have difficulty monitoring the

location and condition of the IDPs. Currently the

Pikit and Pagalungan municipalities is

maximizing DAFAC in gathering disaggregated

data on sex and gender.

Recommend an information caravan type of

activity even once a week will help IDPs share

their concerns and hear answers to their

questions.

humanitarian agencies rely on government data on the

number of displaced population. However, after several

visits revealed a lot more complication of the situation. As

mentioned, the homebased IDPs are not included in the

lists, there are some but not all are reported and they are

not included in the assistance provided. IDPs are highly

mobile depending on where they can have access to food

and basic services for survival. The security issues

aggravated the situation. UNGPID Principle 7: If displacement occurs in situations other than during the emergency stages of armed conflicts and disasters, the following guarantees shall be complied with: (a) A

specific decision shall be taken by a State authority empowered by law to order such measures; (b) Adequate measures shall be taken to guarantee to those to be displaced full

information on the reasons and procedures for their displacement and, where applicable, on compensation and relocation; (c) The free and informed consent of those to be displaced

shall be sought.

Child Protection and GBV There are at least 2,288 pregnant women in ECs.

Two children were separated from their families and are still

missing.

Children showing signs of psychological distress due to long

nights of mortar and 105 mm howitzer shelling and aerial

bombing. Their difficult situation in ECs aggravates their

current psychosocial state.

Children and their families are sleeping on cartons and

blankets. They are easily soaked in water whenever it rains.

There were six mothers who just recently gave birth prior to

displacement in Mahad EC, Barangay Madia, Datu Saudi

Ampatuan. One of them had a miscarriage. In Mahad EC,

Brgy Dapiawan of the same municipality two mothers are

now on full term while one mother in Brgy Pusao, Shariff

Saydona municipality, a baby died. Several babies and very

young children needing immediate attention including

children with severe malnutrition. There were also several

pregnant women staying in the ECs.

CFSI conducted psychosocial counselling to

IDPs in Pendilinang ES, Dapiawan ES and

Mahad Dapiawan.

ARMM-HEART and DOH provided psychosocial

activities for the children staying in the covered

court of Datu Saudi Amaptuan.

Cases of mothers and children in need of

assistance and protection were referred to

UNICEF and UNFPA through Nutrition and

Health Clusters.

Continue monitoring possible cases of

separated or missing children and follow up

existing cases with MSWD and other

concerned agencies to ensure family

reunification of separated children.

The IDP Protection Assessment Form (IDPPAR)

The IDP Protection Assessment Form aims to provide a starting point for information and analysis that can help humanitarian agencies, policy makers and other stakeholders concerning instances of forced displacement or solutions (repatriation, resettlement, integration). The number of people displaced/affected may differ from the number in need of humanitarian assistance. To the extent possible, the terminology used in the Dashboard reflects the UN Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and other sources of

international law and practice. The information reported in the IDP Protection Assessment Forms has been received from members of the Protection Cluster across Mindanao. Consequently, unreported cases of forced displacement and solutions are not reflected. Updates will be provided as and when more information is received from members. Although efforts are made to verify the data, the Protection Cluster takes no responsibility for the incompleteness or inaccuracy of the information. At the end of every month, this data is compiled and distributed through the 'Protection Dashboard'. The information provided in this IDP Assessment Report does not necessarily reflect the views of

UNHCR or any individual member of the Protection Cluster. The Protection Cluster

In the Philippines, the protection cluster has been established by the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) Circular No 5 series of 10 May 2007 (Institutionalizing Cluster Approach in Philippine Disaster System). The cluster approach is part of a global response aimed at providing more timely and consistent help to the internally displaced and other affected people in complex emergencies and disasters. The Protection Cluster in Mindanao meets in Cotabato, Iligan, Davao and other cities on a regular basis. Currently there are over 100 participating agencies including from the Government, State, Civil Society, national and international NGOs and agencies, as well as the

United Nations. For more information, please visit the Protection Cluster website http://www.protectioncluster.org/philippines/ or e-mail us at [email protected]
