[Title] => Esperon to install new 6th ID commander
[Summary] => CAMP SIONGCO, Maguindanao — Maj. Gen. Agustin Dema-ala, Central Mindanao’s battle-hardened Army general known for having neutralized 48 members of the notorious Pentagon kidnap-for-ransom gang, will retire tomorrow and relinquish the helm of the 6th Infantry Division to an equally decorated successor from Luzon.
Dema-ala, who hails from Koronadal City, South Cotabato, said his stint as commander of the 6th ID, whose units are scattered in what could be the most hostile territories in the South, was the most challenging in his 34 years as an Army officer.

[Title] => Misuari held incommunicado
[Summary] => Malacañang has ordered tighter security on detained rebel leader Nur Misuari following reports that the erstwhile chairman of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) is in close contact with his supporters involved in clashes with government forces in Jolo, Sulu.
Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said Misuari is being kept incommunicado, or out of contact, at his detention cell at the police training camp Fort Sto. Domingo in Sta. Rosa, Laguna following an apparent breach of security.
Ermita said security forces are keeping a tight watch on Misuari following reports that he has been communicating with followers in Jolo and coordinating the armed conflict by telephone.
"We believe he (Misuari) has no way now to get in touch with his men because they are being driven far, far into the mountains of Jolo and that is why they do not have any more telephone contact," Ermita said.
