The Masjid Malisbong (H. Hamsa Tacbil Mosque) massacre, also known as Palimbang massacre, was the mass murder of Muslim Moros by units of the Philippine military on September 24, 1974, in the coastal village of Malisbong in Palimbang, Sultan Kudarat, Mindanao. Accounts compiled by the Moro Women's Center in General Santos state that 1,000 male Moros aged 11–70 were killed inside a mosque, 3,000 women and children aged 9–60 were detained – with the women being raped – and that 300 houses were razed by the government forces. The massacre occurred two years after Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law in September 1972. The massacre started after the first four days on the fast of Ramadan when members of the Philippine Army arrived and captured barangay officials along with 700-800 to 1,000 other Muslims. For more than a month, the military murdered residents of the area. With some estimates giving a lower figure, of less than 200 deaths. Testimonies show that victims were made to strip and dig their own graves before being killed by gunshot.
