DAVAO CITY: Jong Monson, secretary general of the Pasaka Lumad Confederation of Southern Mindanao, on Thursday said President Benigno Aquino 3rd continues to ignore human rights violations and summary executions of innocent civilians, mostly indigenous people, accused as rebels by the military.

“Aquino is ignoring the killings of lumad [indigenous people] in Mindanao that already accumulated to 13 deaths since September 1. We call for the pullout of the military in our communities and the disarming of paramilitary groups that brought impunity to our communities,” Monson added.
