The suspected bandits, reported to be led by former government-armed militia-men led by Danilo 'Ondo' Perez, have abducted dozens of villagers, included schoolchildren and teachers, in the Southern Philippines. Of the 75 that Perez's group held hostage last Thursday, 28, including 18 children, were freed.

In the south, clan war or rido is common among warring clans with hostilities lasting for decades until a peace pact is reached by protagonists, usually through mediation by religious leaders and the payment of blood money. Among major causes of rido are land disputes, particularly those caused by disputed government surveys or ancestral land claims; political rivalries, mostly election-related; crime-related, including murder and proliferation of illegal drugs and competition over resources and businesses.
