This publication (HTML format & original artwork) © 1997 Bakbakan International http://www.bakbakan.com/swishkb.html ÿThe kris may be of any length and two or three inches wide. All of the knives, no matter what shape, are encased in wooden scabbards, and have a keenness of edge equaling that of a Damascus blade.þ Major O. J. Sweet 22nd Infantry U.S. Army This book is part of a selection of rare Filipiniana books which have long been out of print and are no longer available. Through the admirable efforts of concerned groups such as the Filipiniana Book Guild, the Historical Conservation Society, Cacho Hermanos and the Eugenio Lopez Foundation, more Filipiniana materials have been reprinted and made available to the general public. These rare books, selected by Professor Renato Constantino, form part of the Filipiniana Reprint Series published by Cacho Hermanos. "It is to be expected that American author Vic Hurley would regard Muslim leaders and resistance groups as bandits and terrorists. But if we read his graphic accounts of Muslim resistance from the people's point of view, we will see these battles for what they really were -- a determined heroic defense by the Muslim of the integrity of their societies. "And despite the colonialist bias, there is in the author's accounts a grudging acknowledgement of the fighting prowess of the Filipino Muslims." -- Renato Constantino, 1985 Due to the many requests for copies of the reprinted book which, ironically, have become as rare as the original, Bakbakan International has undertaken to publish the complete manuscript on the Internet so that we may be able to share with many this priceless record of our history.

    ZAMBOANGA PENINSULA REGIONAL RECOVERY PROGRAM 2020-2022 Regional Development Council Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council Region IX 15 June 2020 MESSAGE The Corona Virus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has caught all of us unaware. It has not only disrupted our normal daily lives but also caused damage to our economy, infrastructures, livelihood, agriculture, health and environment , among others. The different national and regional line agencies and local government units (LGUs) have been working relentlessly together to establish health protocols and guidelines to minimize the damage and lessen the impact of COVID-19 to the people and their means of living, and to save lives. The private sector is also doing its share as partner of the government during this crisis. As we are rebuilding our economy, we hope that the lessons we are learning from this pandemic would influence and transform us to a new and better normal way of living. The Zamboanga Peninsula Recovery Program (RRP) is intended to help the region recover from the impact of COVID-19. It will serve as the region’s blueprint towards rebuilding a resilient and better community. It includes an assessment of the extent of damage caused by the pandemic, the government’s response, the framework on how to go about rebuilding, and the proposed programs and projects for recovery. The RRP shall be undertaken through the collaboration among the line agencies, LGUs, the private sector and the citizenry. We recognize the efforts put together by the region’s stakeholders and their contribution in the formulation of the Regional Recovery Program in such a short period of time.

Occupying Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago in 1899, U.S. Army officials assumed sovereignty over a series of Muslim populations collectively referred to as ‘Moros.’ Beholden to pre-existing notions of Moro ungovernability, for two decades military and civilian administrators ruled the Southern Philippines separately from the Christian regions of the North. In the 1920s, Islamic areas of Mindanao and Sulu were ‘normalized’ and haphazardly assimilated into the emergent Philippine nation-state.
