The Manili massacre refers to the mass killings of 65-79 Moro Muslims, including women and children committed in a mosque in Manili, Carmen, North Cotabato, Philippines in June 19, 1971. The Ilaga militant group was suspected to be behind the attacks but there were also allegations that the Philippine Constabulary were also behind the incident and collaborated with the Ilaga.
