In 1989 after the creation of the ARMM (Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao), 96 hectares were allocated to the ARMM by the national government in the hilly barangay of Cabatangan. A wide perimeter road was constructed to circumvent this 96 hectares where the ARMM built several buildings to house various ARMM offices. In 2001 The ARMM had a plebiscite in Zamboanga to annex Zamboanga into the ARMM and it was defeated. Nur Misuari (leader of the MNLF) was irate over this election result and decided to have his militia (MNLF) camp in this 96 hectare area. The AFP did not take this lightly so this area of the ARMM was borbarded by AFP November 27, 2001. The MNLF was defeated but thousands of citizens suffered. This 96 hectares remains to be the property of the ARMM. | In 1989 after the creation of the ARMM (Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao), 96 hectares were allocated to the ARMM by the national government in the hilly barangay of Cabatangan.
