About the battle
The Battle of the Buliok Complex took place on 11 February 2003 in an area within the present provinces of Maguindanao del Sur and Cotabato in Mindanao, Philippines. The 60-hectare complex, which stretches from Pikit to Pagalungan, was a stronghold of the Muslim separatist Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). Accused by the Philippine government of harboring members of Pentagon, a notorious kidnap-for-ransom gang operating in Mindanao, the MILF was attacked in the Buliok complex by the Armed Forces of the Philippines under orders from then-President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
