A Tribute to the 44 Fallen Heroes
These are the names of the Philippine National Police-Special Action Force's fallen heroes. They were killed in the town of Mamasapano in Maguindanao province on Sunday, January 25, 2015 during a clash with Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) members and Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF). Their mission was to serve arrest warrants to two suspected terrorists—Malaysian Jemaah Islamiyah leader Zulkifli bin Hir also known as Marwan and Filipino bomb maker Abdulbasit Usman.
