Buldon, officially the Municipality of Buldon (Maguindanaon: Inged nu Buldun; Iranun and Mëranaw: Inged a Buldon; Tagalog: Bayan ng Buldon), is a 4th class municipality in the province of Maguindanao del Norte, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 39,684 people.[3]

The town was part of the province of Shariff Kabunsuan from October 2006 until its nullification by the Supreme Court in July 2008.

History

The Economic Development Corporation, which was established in 1951 by then-President Ramon Magsaysay, opened in the town two resettlement areas for former Huk members, Gallego and Barira. Both administered first by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), the two were turned over to the Land Authority and Department of Agrarian Reform, respectively, in the 1970s.[5]

During negotiations between the national government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), the municipality was among the sites of hostilities in the late 1990s.[6]

Buldon was the site of the first phase of ceasefire which was declared for the municipality through an agreement signed by both panels in January 27, 1997, which was eventually elevated to a general ceasefire for Mindanao[7][8] upon signing of the Buldon Ceasefire Agreement in July 27,[7][8][9] although negotiations failed to be accomplished within the presidency of Fidel Ramos.[9] However, before negotiating panels from both sides were to conduct peace talks,[9][10] clashes erupted beginning January 16 in Barangays Kabayuan and Garigayan,[11] when AFP reportedly attempted to intrude into the MILF stronghold at Camp Abubakar.[10][12] These continued even a local agreement was reached on January 22;[13] and ended when it was later signed.[10][12] At least 33 were killed from both sides.[11][13]

In March, 10 students and their teacher were killed in a shelling by the military. On June 19–20, 80 heavily-armed members of the MILF launched an attack, government troops later retaliated. Among the casualties were a soldier and several guerillas.[14] Clashes also occurred in Upper Minabay in 1998.[6]

After a ceasefire agreement was signed by both sides in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in August 2001, on September 27, however, a hundred MILF fighters stormed a vacant military outpost; clashes with government troops followed, killing eight army soldiers and up to 36 MILF members.[15]
