ʻEiwa i make i ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana ma ka mokupuni huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi ʻo Philippines

ʻEiwa mau kānaka me ʻehā mau luna palekana o Pilipi i pepehi ʻia i ka Pōʻalua i ka wā o ka hakakā ʻana me ka hui ʻaihue Abu Sayyaf ma kahi mokupuni kaulana i ka wā e hoʻomākaukau ai nā miliona e huakaʻi no ka lā hoʻomaha Easter.

ʻO ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana ma ka mokupuni ʻo Bohol ka mea mua ma kahi huakaʻi mākaʻikaʻi Pilipine i nā makahiki i hala iho nei e ka hui e hoʻohiki nei i ka Islamic State a hoʻopaʻa pinepine i nā haole ma ka ʻāina ʻo Mindanao ʻole kānāwai.

ʻElima mau kānaka pū i pepehi ʻia ʻoiai ʻehā mau pū hoʻouka kaua a me kahi mea pahū improvised i loaʻa i ke kaua, wahi a nā luna.

"Ke hopohopo nui nei mākou… makaʻu mākou i nā kūlana hoʻopaʻa ʻia," wahi a Khent Guimalan, ka mea e hana nei ma ke keʻena mua o ka Bohol Beach Club kiʻekiʻe.

Ma hope o ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻana, ua hāʻawi nā luna i nā kiʻi o nā lālā i manaʻo ʻia ʻo Abu Sayyaf e noi ana i nā kamaʻāina e hōʻike i kekahi hana kānalua, e like me Guimalan.

Ua ʻōlelo nā luna kūloko ua hoʻohana nā pūʻali koa i nā moku wikiwiki i ka Pōʻakahi e hōʻea i kahi kauhale kahi i kū ai lākou i nā pūʻali palekana i ka Pōʻalua.

Ua makaʻala nā pūʻali palekana no ka "hana kūpono ma ka ʻaoʻao o kekahi mau mea hewa" i ka wā mākaʻikaʻi kiʻekiʻe o ka Easter, wahi a ka ʻōlelo a ka pūʻali koa Brigadier-General Restituto Padilla.

Ua holo ka poe kaua i uka o Inabanga, kahi mahiai a me ka lawaia kai kai ma kahi o 780 mau kilomita mai ka Abu Sayyaf pakaua o Jolo ma ka aoao hema o Philippines, ua hai aku na makai kūloko i ka AFP.

ʻO Bohol, ma kahi o 600 mau kilomita ma ka hema o Manila, ʻo ia kekahi o nā kiʻi mākaʻikaʻi kiʻekiʻe o ka ʻāina.

ʻEkolu mau koa a me hoʻokahi makai i make i ke kaua, e like me ka ʻōlelo hui ʻana mai ka pūʻali koa a me nā mākaʻi o ka ʻāina.

"Ke hoʻomau nei nā hana hoʻomaʻemaʻe a ke ninini nei mākou i nā ikaika hou aku e kōkua a kōkua," i hoʻohui ʻia ai ʻo Padilla, ka ʻōlelo a ka pūʻali koa.

Ua ʻōlelo nā luna, ua hoʻomau ʻia ka hakakā ʻana i ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ke kiaʻāina ʻo Bohol, ʻo Edgar Chatto, ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka hana ʻino ma kekahi kauhale, kahi āna i ʻōlelo ai ua holo mua ka helu o nā kamaʻāina i kahi palekana i nā wahi kokoke.

ʻO ka Abu Sayyaf, ka mea i hoʻopiʻi ʻia no ka pōʻino make, ua hoʻohiki ʻo ia i ka hui ʻo Daesh e paʻa ana i nā ʻāpana o Iraq a me Suria.

I ka makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hoʻonui ka Abu Sayyaf i kāna mau hana, e kau ana i nā moku kalepa a me nā moku lawaiʻa mai ko lākou wahi paʻa o ka mokupuni hema o Jolo, kokoke i Malaysia, a me ka ʻaihue ʻana i nā haneli o nā poʻe holo moku ʻē.

Ua ʻoki lākou i ke poʻo o kahi mākaʻikaʻi Kelemania ma mua o kēia makahiki a me ʻelua mau mākaʻikaʻi Kanada i ka makahiki i hala. Ua kāʻili ʻia lākou ʻekolu i ke kai.
