MARAWI CITY - New terror leaders have begun to emerge one month after fighting between government forces and Islamic State-inspired extremists here ended, a military official said Thursday.

These include Malaysian Amin Baco alias Abu Akmad, whom authorities said could succeed Abu Sayyaf leader Isnilon Hapilon and Maute group leader Omar Maute, who were both killed in the 5-month long conflict.

However, Baco's condition is unclear. Troops are matching DNA samples from bodies retrieved from Marawi with those taken from the suspect's relatives, said Col. Romeo Brawner, deputy commander of Joint Task Force Ranao.

Aside from Baco, 4 other Filipinos are emerging as terror leaders, the military said.

"Sila yung mga leaders sa sususnod na grupo ng terorista that is why kailangan ng information galing sa mamamayan," Brawner said.

(They are the emerging terrorist leaders, that is why we ended information from the people.)

Owayda Benito Marohomsar, alias Abu Dar, has a reward of P3 million and was last seen a week ago in the suburbs of Balindong and Piagapo in Lanao del Sur.

Intelligence sources said Abu Dar left the main battle area during the early parts of the siege to guard the huge sums of gold and money that they looted.

"Sa aming reports sya ang isa sa mga recruiters ngayon sa paligid ng Lanao del Sur," said Brawner.

(Based on our reports, he is the one recruiting in Lanao del Sur.)

Also on the most wanted list is Ali Amintao, alias White Lawaan, who also has P3-million reward. He is believed to be one of the financiers of the Maute group and is continuing to support Abu Dar and other terror groups.

Another suspect, Zacaria Romato, alias Zacariah, is the uncle of the Maute brothers who has his own men that joined forces with the extremist group during the Marawi siege. He carries a P2-million bounty.

A P1-million reward was put up against Najib Calimba Pundog, a foreign-trained terrorist and one of the closest allies of Omar Maute.

Sources said he was the one responsible for taking over the V150 Special Forces tank that was burned during the height of the war. He was also said to be active in recruiting youth and child warriors.

Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao Assemblyman Zia Alonto Adiong proposed arming the Baranggay Peacekeeping Action Team of each municipality to help law enforcers.

The military's Task Force Ranao advised the public to report information on the terror suspects to the following hotlines: ‎0945-318-5006 and ‎0929-495-4906.

Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque, in his breifing in Marawi Wednesday, said charges have already been filed against 37 Maute members who have been arrested.

He said a special panel of investigators was created by the Department of Justice to investigate the Maute group's offenses.

"Some cases being investigated include killing, kidnapping for ransom, cruel and inhumane treatment, including cases of beheadings and recruitment of children as combatants," Roque said.
