The Jabidah massacre on March 18, 1968, was the purported assassinations or executions of Moro army recruits who allegedly mutinied upon learning the true nature of their mission.[3] It is acknowledged as a major flashpoint that ignited the Moro insurgency in the Philippines.[4][5]
Author Cesar Adib Majul notes that the administration of Ferdinand Marcos had suppressed press coverage of the affair[6] which led to a lack of documentation about the incident and varying accounts of the number of trainees killed, from 11 to 68.[7][8] This eventually sparked calls for Moro independence and is acknowledged by the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) as a key moment in Bangsamoro history.[9]
