Maguindanao tribesmen urged to return

ZAMBOANGA CITY: Maguindanao tribesmen who left their ancestral land in Mount Firis due to the outbreak of Muslim rebellion for more than four decades were told to come home.

Leader Timuay Melanio Ula–ma, now a member of the Bang–samoro Transition Commission, said it is time for the tribesmen to return to their own domain because there is now peace in Mindanao following the signing of a political deal between the Aquino government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).
