Analysis - Processing Questions:


1. Who is Kamlon?

 Datu Hadji Kamlon, also known as Maas Kamlon, was a World War II
veteran and a well-known Tausug from the town of Luuk, Sulu province. From
1948 to 1955, Kamlon led a rebellion against the national government.
According to the government at that time, he was not an ordinary criminal but
considered as the biggest threat to national security and a bandit to be
feared. But to the Tausugs, Kamlon was labeled as a legendary folk hero,
their local Robin Hood.

2. Why did he rebel against the government?


 The reason why Kamlon decided to fight against the government was the
conflict about land registration. But somehow, he was annoyed by the land
registration law, which required him to register his land to be the owner. On
the other hand, there was another Tausug (affiliated with the government)
who applied for a land title as Kamlon’s ancestral land then lead to a clan
feud. Later on, the government mediate between and appease them. But his
followers and Kamlon himself suspected that the government is biased since
another Tausug member affiliated with the local government. Nang lumipas
na ang mga araw, nagkaroon ng mahabang imbestigasyon sa kadahilanang
hindi madaki-dakip ang kriminal na si Kamlon, at ang sagot sa tumagal
napag-rerebelde ng grupo ng Kamlon ay isang anting-anting. At
nakararamdam daw sila na hindi nila kasapi ang military o kaya parte o
mamamayan sila ng bansang Pilipinas

3. What was the government’s action to quell his rebellion?


 Para maayos ang sigalot sa pagitan ng grupo ni Kamlon at ng gobyerno,
napagdesisyonan nila na kailangan i-address sa mapayapang paraan ang
problema. At ito ay ang iparamdam sa kanila na sila (Moro) ay bahagi ng
bansang Pilipinas at hindi mga banyaga o kaaway. Upang masolusyunan ang
rebelyon, ito ay idadaan sa pamamagitan ng pag approach sa social,
economic, moral, political at educational developments.

4. What were the general effects of his rebellion?


 August 1955, Kamlon and his small number of followers routed an entire
platoon of government troops in Sulu and resulted to 18 deaths and 19
wounded soldiers. But his group had only one death and 5 wounded,
according to the news report. This was the “largest casualty figure in one
engagement”. After that, the government was eager to capture Kamlon for a
long time, but they didn’t succeed. There was a huge amount reward for the
one who can capture Kamlon, but unfortunately, no one succeeded.
Pagkatapos ng maiging pagdidiskusyon kung bakit hindi madakip si Hadji
Kamlon ay na punto nila kung ano ang dahilan sa likod ng pag rerebelyon ni
Kamlon. Yun ay ang pagpaparamdam na hindi sila bahagi o parte ng
Pilipinas. At dahil dito, ang recomendasyon ng gobyerno ay ang pagbuo ng
mga programa at ahensya na may epekto sa economic, social, moral, political
at educational ng non-Christian Filipino into the main body of Philippine
politics. Foremost of the agencies charged with the above function were the
Commission on National Integration (1957) and Mindanao State University
(1961).
