Senator Robin Padilla formally asked a Senate probe into the deaths of at least 24 members of the Teduray tribe in Maguindanao del Norte following landslides brought about by severe storm ‘’Paeng.’’
He said reports indicated that the Teduray tribe was forcibly relocated from Datu Odin Sinsuat town to a landslide-prone area at the foot of Mt. Minandar in Maguindanao del Norte.
Earlier reports quoted Chieftain Timuay Alim Bandara of the Tribal Indigenous Group Community Teduray as saying the tribal community was forced out of their coastal homes to Sitio Tabunon, Barangay Kusiong, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao del Norte in 2020 despite their protests. “The right to stay in the territory and not to be removed therefrom is a guaranteed right pursuant to Section 7 of the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act.
