They are picking up shovels, hammers and hoes even as they keep on their combat boots, bullets and guns. Reframing their civil military operations, they are taking on Iprojects that have little bearing on traditional security concerns. They are clearing foot trails, preparing fields, harvesting, and building bridges, clinics, day care centers, waiting sheds and schools. Branded as “peace and development” actions, these oil their entry into rural communities, and in some areas entrench their stay. Without compunction, it seems, and any cultural sensitivity, they easily settle into communities, making public space and facilities their own. They occupy schools, basket- ball courts, health centers, even intruding into the indigenous political center, dap-ay, to use as barracks, depots and to hold community meetings and youth seminars. They join local governments and government agencies in service missions, obscuring distinctions between civilian and military functions. But no makeover or rebranding can conceal the harsh reality of militarization. It disrupts, intimidates, represses. People’s organizations and development NGOs continue to be in the crosshairs of the military. Vilified as Reds and fronts of the New Peoples Army, their members are harassed and their physical safety threatened. They are alienat- ed from the community who are warned not to join their development initiatives, which are tagged as NPA projects. As in any conflict, the battle for hearts and minds inflicts collateral damage. Here the victims are the community people themselves. Militarization subverts the unity and solidarity of a community. Irrigation, potable water systems, seed and animal dispersal, farm tool development and other PO projects they would have benefitted from are stalled, thwarted or altogether halted. 30 Militarization denies communities real development.

Although Adasen once lived in Buneg, the area is now occupied by a homogenous Mabaca community.
