Mujib Susukan's barung

Abu Sayyaf came to the forefront of the nation's consciousness on 3rd May 2000 when they occupied the dive resort island Sipadan and took 21 people hostage. The names of the leaders became well known: Khaddafi Janjalani, Isnilon Hapilon, Abu Sabaya, Radulan Sahiron, Ghalib Andang (Commander Robot), Umbra Jumdail (Dr Abu Pula), and Mujib Susukan.

Mujib Susukan was notable due to his rock-star appearance: long hair and liking for sunglasses.


He was killed in early 2003.


The following is a barong previously owned by him, now on display at the Philippine Military Academy Museum.
