Displacement Dashboard
The Mindanao Displacement Dashboard is a monthly publication of the Protection Cluster in Mindanao, Philippines which is co-led by UNHCR with the Department of Social Welfare and Development. This publication aims
to provide an overview of the protection environment of displacement incidents in Mindanao for each month. Displacement incidents were collected with the support of Protection Cluster members in Mindanao.
ISSUE NO. 29, JULY 2016
AFP vs. ASG clashes in Basilan
A gunfight between the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP)
and elements of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) erupted on 02
July 2016 at Barangay Magcawa in the municipality of Al-Barka,
Basilan province. An estimated 2,311 families (13,927 persons)
fled Barangay Magcawa to seek shelter with relatives in Baran-
gay Guinanta in Al-Barka, and in Barangay Tipo-Tipo Proper.
The escalation of the incident affected neighbouring barangays
in Al-Barka, as well as some barangays in the municipalities of
Tipo-Tipo and Ungkaya Pukan. Classes were suspended at all
levels in Barangay Magcawa, and eleven schools in the West
District of Tipo-Tipo also suspended their classes because of
the security threat, leading to disruption in the education of over
2,600 students. A mosque and a civilian house reportedly sus-
tained damage during the fighting. Due to the situation in the
three affected municipalities, the provincial government de-
clared a state of calamity. The Provincial Social Welfare and
Development Office and the Integrated Provincial Health Office
provided food and medical aid, respectively, to the affected
families. During field assessments by Protection Cluster part-
ners, some IDPs expressed concerns regarding access to ade-
quate food in case of prolonged displacement.
Further armed confrontations between the AFP and ASG also
occurred in the municipality of Tuburan, Basilan on 18 July,
causing an undetermined number of residents to flee from their
homes in Sitio Laputih and Sitio Umali to barangays Bohetam-
bis Proper and Mahawid.
AFP vs. NPA armed conflict in Davao Oriental
On 07 July 2016, an armed encounter between the Armed Forc-
es of the Philippines (AFP) and the New People’s Army (NPA)
resulted in the displacement of around 70 families (399 individu-
als) from Barangay Pichon, in the municipality of Caraga, Davao
Oriental. Two civilians were reportedly wounded during the fire-
fight, while a church and some civilian houses were damaged.
Eight schools suspended their classes, hampering access to
education for hundreds of students. The displaced persons
sought refuge in various locations within the municipality of
Caraga and in the adjacent municipality of Baganga.
A total of 1,320 families (6,600 persons) fled their homes follow-
ing a firefight between government forces and the Bangsamoro
Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) on 13 July 2016. The incident
affected several barangays in the province of Maguindanao,
including Bagong Upam and Kuloy in Shariff Aguak municipality,
and Meta in Datu Unsay municipality. Information from
Military operations in Maguindanao
protection partners also indicates that following this incident, an
estimated 4,800 families (24,000 persons) pre-emptively evacuat-
ed from different barangays in the municipalities of Datu Salibo,
Datu Saudi Ampatuan, Shariff Aguak, and Shariff Saydona Mus-
tapha lin anticipation of the escalation of fighting in the area.
Subsequent armed encounters that took place on 26-28 July in
barangays Dapiawan and Kitango in Datu Saudi Ampatuan, Ba-
rangay Malangog in Datu Unsay, Barangay Dabenayan in Ma-
masapano, and barangays Pikeg and Pamalian in Shariff Saydo-
na Mustapha caused further displacements. These incidents also
affected Barangay Liab in Mamasapano and Barangay Pusao in
Shariff Saydona Mustapha. By the end of July, the number of dis-
placed was at least 6,304 families (estimated 30,535 individuals).
As of this report, the displaced families have sought refuge in vari-
ous evacuation sites in seven municipalities of Maguindanao: Da-
tu Abdullah Sangki, Datu Salibo, Datu Saudi Ampatuan, Datu Un-
say, Mamasapano, Shariff Aguak, and Shariff Saydona Mustapha.
Others are staying with host families in the same municipalities.
Eight civilian casualties (three dead and five wounded, including
minors in both casualty types) were reported. There were also
reports of civilians temporarily getting trapped in areas where
fighting occurred. Some civilian dwellings, as well as a school and
a mosque, were damaged or destroyed. Occupation of civilian
homes, as well as looting of household belongings, crops, and
livestock, were also reported. The forced displacement, the use of
some schools as evacuation sites, and, in one case, the proximity
of a military encampment to a learning center, has resulted in the
disruption of education for children in the affected communities.
The respective Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Offices
at municipal, provincial, and regional levels provided food assis-
tance, with support from the Department of Social Welfare and
Development (DSWD) and the Autonomous Region in Muslim
Mindanao’s Humanitarian Emergency Action and Response Team
(ARMM-HEART). Fear of renewed clashes currently prevents
most of the IDPs from permanently returning to their places of
origin. IDPs also raise concerns regarding limited access to medi-
cal services and restrictions on their freedom of movement, result-
ing in loss of safe and sustainable access to their sources of liveli-
hood.
A civilian house beside a day care center in Barangay Malangog, Datu Unsay, Maguindanao,
was destroyed when hit by a mortar round during recent armed clashes.

DISCLAIMER
The Monthly Mindanao Displacement Dashboard aims to provide a starting point for information and analysis that can help protection agencies, policy makers and other stakeholders concerning instances of forced displacement or solutions (repatriation, res ettlement, integration). The number of people displaced / affected may differ from the number in need of humanitarian assistance. To the extent possible, the terminology used in the Dashboard reflects the UN Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and other sources of international law and practice. The information reported in the Monthly Mindanao Displacement
Dashboard has been received from members of the Protection Cluster across Mindanao. Consequently, unreported cases of forced displacement and solutions are not reflected. Updates will be provided as and when more information is received from members. Al though efforts are made to verify the data, the UNHCR
Mindanao, Philippines takes no responsibility for the incompleteness or inaccuracy of the information. The information provided in this Monthly Mindanao Displacement Dashboard does not necessarily reflect the views of UNHCR or any individual member of the Protection Cluster.

Displacement of IP community in Bukidnon
Efforts to find durable solutions for those who continue to be dis-placed as a result of the 2013 Zamboanga siege continue. In addition to those staying with host families (home-based IDPs), as of 31 July, 2,505 families (13,914 persons) remain displaced in 11 transitory sites in Zamboanga City. The City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO), with technical support from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), completed the re-profiling and verification of some 6,356 home-based IDP families on 29 July, and is in the process of validating the results. This process paves the way for home-based IDPs in Zamboanga to have improved access to government assistance through the various projects and recov-ery efforts being implemented. Among the noteworthy developments in Zamboanga were the turn-over of 1,657 houses to displaced families under the Zam-boanga City Roadmap to Reconstruction and Recovery (Z3R), and the employment of 71 IDPs and the training of 225 others through a livelihood project led by the CSWDO and the Depart-ment of Social Welfare and Development. In addition, 451 dis-placed children regained access to education with the opening of a composite school at the Mampang transitory site on 12 July.
Update on protracted displacement in Zamboanga
Harassment by a paramilitary group led to the displacement of
around 821 families (2,759 individuals) in Barangay Kawayan,
San Fernando, Bukidnon on 30 July 2016. The affected families
are members of the Tigwahanon community, an indigenous peo-
ples (IP) group. Reports received from protection partners indi-
cate that the paramilitary group indiscriminately fired at civilians,
resulting in the death of a pregnant woman and injuries to at least
seven people, including five minors. Families from nearby Sitio Sil
-angon and Sitio Tibugawan also fled their homes and initially
sought refuge in the village proper of Barangay Kawayan.
Because of continuing fear for their safety, 48 IDP families subse-
quently decided to leave Barangay Kawayan and transferred to
the Capitol ground in Malaybalay City. They reportedly face is-
sues with regard to adequate food and shelter, access to latrines,
and disrupted school attendance for children. As of the end of
July, the displaced families had received food assistance from a
local organization, and distributions of food packs and non-food
items by the DSWD have been planned.
The affected community had reportedly been receiving threats
from the said paramilitary group for several months. Other mem-
bers of the same IP group currently remain in an evacuation
camp in Davao City, after being displaced in 2015 due to military
operations in their communities.

AFP vs ASG firefight in Sulu
On 29 July 2016, an armed confrontation between government
troops and members of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) took place
in Barangay Bud-Taran, in the municipality of Indanan, Sulu prov-
ince. About 181 families (approximately 905 individuals) were
displaced from Barangay Bud-Taran to the neighbouring baran-
gays of Kuppong and Langpas. An unconfirmed number of civil-
ians were reportedly killed or injured during the incident.

LEGEND
Typhoon Pablo displacement - A large number of IDPs remain displaced from Typhoon Pablo in December 2012 in Eastern Mindanao, Region XI and are still in need of a durable solution. Many of these families remain in temporary shelters where local authorities have been slowly obtaining access to land and constructing permanent housing for these IDPs. As of October 2015, there are still an estimated 76,379 IDPs in need of a durable solution in this region.
The Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement note that “internally displaced persons are persons or groups of persons who have been forced or obliged to flee or to leave their homes or places of habitual residence, in particular as a result of or in order to avoid the effects of armed conflict, situations of generalized violence, violations of human rights or natural or human-made disasters, and who have not crossed an internationally recognized State border.”
