    Lianga massacre and Lumad school conflict

    On September 1, 2015, ALCADEV executive director Emerico Samarca and Lumad leaders Dionel Campos and Datu Bello Sinzo were killed in Lianga. The incident was associated with allegations involving the Magahat-Bagani paramilitary group and broader disputes over ancestral lands, Indigenous community schools, militarization, and resource development. The status and accreditation of Lumad schools also became a subject of public controversy.
