Special Assistant to the President Anton Lagdameo and Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) Interim Chief Minister Abdulraof Macacua have condemned the killing of Teduray Indigenous Peoples leader Ramon Lupos and are demanding swift justice.
The 60-year-old leader was discovered beheaded in his hut in Barangay Limpogo, Datu Hoffer, Maguindanao del Sur, on September 30, and was identified as one of the last remaining non-Moro Indigenous Peoples leaders in the area.
Lagdameo stated that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s administration is dedicated to upholding peace and safeguarding vulnerable communities within the Bangsamoro region.
Macacua strongly denounced the killing as an attack on peace, justice, and human dignity, admitting that injustices against non-Moro Indigenous Peoples are still widespread.
BARMM authorities have pledged accountability and have initiated an immediate and thorough investigation into the incident.
