Malisbong massacre

The Malisbong Massacre or Tacbil Mosque massacre was an incident on September 24, 1974 in Malisbong, Palimbang, Sultan Kudarat, Mindanao where the 15th 1B infantry battalion of the Armed Forces of the Philippines killed 1500 [1] Moro Muslim civilians. Moro girls were also taken aboard a Philippine naval boat and subjected to mass rape.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] The incident took place amidst Moros fighting for autonomy.

In 2014, the national government finally recognized around 1,500 Moro residents of a village in Palimbang town in Sultan Kudarat province who were killed in the massacre 40 years ago as martial law victims. The massacre occurred two years after the declaration of martial law in 1972.[10]
