The Bud Dahu Massacre, a terrible event that happened in 1906 on the island of Jolo, Sulu, reminds us of the pain and suffering the Tausug people endured under American rule. It was a day of horror when innocent men, women, and children were killed without mercy. About 1,000 people lost their lives, their screams echoing through the island. This tragedy shows us the true cost of colonialism and the fight for freedom that the Moro people have always faced.

The Americans, afraid and angry, turned their guns on the peaceful Tausug people. They burned homes, leaving families with nothing but ashes and sorrow. The cruelty of this event shocked even some Americans, who couldn't believe what their soldiers had done. The Bud Dahu Massacre is just one of many stories of violence and injustice that the Moro people have endured. They have fought for their right to govern themselves, to be free and respected, for generations.

We must never forget the Bud Dahu Massacre. The Tausug people, has been through so much. Their strength and their struggle for freedom deserve respect and recognition. Remembering this tragedy reminds us to work for justice, to hold those who commit atrocities accountable, and to never let something like this happen again. It also reminds us to listen to the Moro people's voices and stand with them in their fight for self-determination.
