  • The leftist journalist were actually gunned down by their own kind. This is part of their propaganda as they did before. Usually they would sacrifice their own secretly then make it appear that government forces are the perpetrator.

  • Viva La Revolucion, lets start a fucking Global Riot, huh?!

  • @chris96kalonji It's not that easy. The NPA's status in the philippines is getting weaker and weaker everyday. Because of the people's ignorance and fear. The filipinos are nothing but worthless slaves that follows any hand that feeds them and entertains them to avoid the harsh truth. I am ashamed to be a Filipino. Not as a person. But as a national. So if you expect a global revolution, The world's FAR from it.

  • @omerta0414 I'm sorry we won't get anywhere with an unproductive mindset like so...actually change doesn't happen as fast a people expect, we have a revolutions Mexico, Africa, Britain, they're sturring up in North America and Russia. I noticed your pic is Che, and like Che said, Revolution is like a ripe apple it must be forcefully pulled from the tree. We make revolution, don't wait for revolution make revolution, everyone has a leader inside of them it's our nature. I will in lead in US where

  • @omerta0414 are you going to lead is the question that you should focus on. You can do it, when you believe others will believe. Everyone has a Che, Fidel, Marcos, Stalin, William Wallace inside of them, they just must be pulled out. Pull the motherfucker out of yourself....NOWWWW!

  • @chris96kalonji It's useless comrade. I am ready to die for the "cause". But in the Philippines, not one filipino is even aware of the REAL problems that is happening around him/her. I am still young. And still in college. After i graduate, i will continue to fight the war against capitalism and the corrupt. But for now, i am but a sleeping giant. Waiting to be awakened. So is the filipino masses. I know it. But for now, we have to wait. And let the NPA abrupt the current status quo.

  • @omerta0414 that is so patrice lumumba!

  • @omerta0414 When you will eventually revolve the situation and apply what system you want there will be another revolution and i will be one of the revolutionist to maintain owning property for those who toil for it, freedom to do what he wanted provided it will not trample others and to do business where we can gain to be enriched for a better life.

  • We need to have a final assault on mindanao milf and mnlf or whatever islamic extremist termites, a troop surge of about 50,000 troops, lets end this shit once and for all in order for the philippines to have a brighter and peaceful future! To have peace you must have war!

  • Those who equate communists to terrorists are either misled or just plain fools. There's a big difference between insurgency and terrorism. These people are fighting for their own and other people's rights. If such act terrorism?

  • @kirara5202 They seem to have no problem gunning down unarmed civilians for no reason.

  • @payot Because they see these "civilians" as reactionaries. The so called "terrorists" are revolutionaries in a way that they are seeking the pursuit for a better standard of life. The government's impotence is only matched by the growing poverty in the countryside. I've seen what happens to people who are seeking for a better life in the Philippines only to find out that there is nothing the country has to offer with all the bureaucracy that is poisoning communities and inhibiting progress.

  • These guys are ignorants. they don't know who they are fighting for! Don't they realize that they are not going anywhere because they are just hiding and who they are fighting for, for Mao Tse Tung? NPA/Communist is another menace of the Philippine society that impediments the growth.

  • The communist ideology is a failure. That means you commi bastard have no moral right to wage war. Rendering you as a rogue or terrorists.

  • Rule of laws is lacking and poverty level is at all time that drives people to join rebel groups. Foreign investors who contribute to the development and bring jobs are driven away by these circumstances. The government must obtain trust and respect by improving the livelihood of the poor if they want positive changes in these troubled areas.

  • president Gloria Arroyo is a corrupt leader she tried steal a lot of money from the country but was foiled by the new president

  • Were people. Not us and them. People! Rich, Poor, White, Black, Soldier, Cop. Terrorist, Criminal...... The list of barriers goes on and on.

  • how can this people have complete gear like a military or army if no bigman behind this? just think who!..

    fully armed people...dammed that!

  • terrorists.

  • JUST MERE CRIMINALS NO MORE NO LESS

  • hahhh... Journeyman! always so impartial!

  • fire-fighters fight fire

    crime-fighters fight crime

    freedom-fighters fight freedom

    terrorists fight terror

  • Mindanao is rich in natural resources,that's why every organization wants to grab hold of this state.

  • The "Terrorist" fights for his land and his people but only fights when his country has sold itself and the people within and so he terrorize's both the buyers and sellers. Know your enemy, anger is a gift.

  • muslims are the barbarians of our time

  • @reallysecretusername You're so far from the pulse it's like you're not looking for it.

  • Would Filipino revolutionaries ask for Russia's help?

  • @republikafilipini Yes! we will ask for at least 20 TOPOL Missile systems armed with thermo nuclear warhead so we can get rid of malaysia and these suiside bombers...

  • @republikafilipini "ask for Russia's help" Seriously speaking? I would ask for support from China. Especially S. China and Luzon share a millenia old relationship. Even though I am aware of possible consequences of engaging with our mother country.

  • miss you ate mase and kuya gergo...

  • The truth is that for the people communism is better than abject poverty and oppressive working conditions.

    I get tired of this constant drip drip drip assumption that if someone is a communist then it is fine to murder them. Just imagine the converse. We hunted these ''rebels'' down because they were members of the ''capitalist'' leauge! The journalist says that those who were killed were not actual members of the communists - as if it would be OK to kill them if they were!!! Amazing.

  • @wlwak - anyone can be labelled communist these days if they stand up for the rights of people or even oppose developments which will ruin the environment upon which we all depend upon.

    Problem is that many cannot distinguish between socialism and communism. Capitalism has/continues to fail and will be the cause of the extinction of the human race if we let it.

  • People keep on rambling. The only solution is for the government to function properly. Provide jobs for the people and supprt the people. When everybody is well-off and life is better including implement the rule of law properly including total ban of arms then everything is easily solve. The problem with our government is because they just want to corrupt and do not support the people for better life. They rather kill the rebel and make children parentless than fight corruption - hypocricy.

  • GRP likes to fight over making peace because too many oligarch and politicians (same-same) make millions of US dollars from arms dealing and illegal supply of weapons to illegal CVO's in Mindanao agains Geneve Conventions.

    UN/EU/US are useless to investigate this as they get silenced by big business that controls them & wants to 'carve up' Mindanao for oil, gas, gold, metals, etc. for their greed/profit.

    Maybe Obama and some good politicians can stop this and make peace.

  • just recently from the GRP peace panels themselves -

    accused powerful 'ARMS DEALERS' of trying to sabotage the current Mindanao PEACE PROCESS

    why are these ppl only think of their 'arms business' than the prosperity of the country & more ppl as a whole?

    knowing this- the Country should support the Mindanao Peace Process & FAIL the arms dealers!

  • @TLM - I wish that public accounts can be printed as to exactly which individuals/companies in the Philippines have made money/profited in any way from arms dealing.

    I guess that the arms dealers themselves are not so forthcoming about making their own accounting public.

    Good that this was raised.

  • grab the HISTORIC PEACE CHANCE offered in MOA-AD/BJE

    its the most peaceful solution w/out bloodshed & destruction on both sides

    the resultant ENVIRONMENT of PEACE will start healing hearts

    MOA-AD/BJE addresses MOST grievances & has excellent potential to close this age-old Conflict

    its a NEGOTIATED PEACE so its not even a Separation-

    2 system- one country set up

    - other PAST/PRESENT set-up failed

    lets fix & fix until we get it right- for the good of whole Country & ordinary ppl

  • muslims cause problems always time they were put down

  • My heart goes out to the Philippine people and hope that they will take control of their mineral resources and the land of their country.

    I only wish that it could be achieved by non violent means.

    That blood of the innocents have been shed is tragic and my wish is that another way one of peace will be found.

  • @Dabo082

    there is a peaceful negotiated solution crafted for 11 yrs both by GRP & Moro

    its the MOA-AD/BJE

    it was sabotaged/maligned by th families who earn in Mindano conflict & natural resources

    read the link in my ytube accnt

    you can do something tangible towards peace if you support & spread its wisdom

  • kong ako pa pillion mo kapit na ko sa muslim patyon nato tanan tagalog na bahog nawong peace from me mga kapatid kong muslim!!!

  • magka inkwentro tana ning mga NPA vs. MILF aron sila ray magkapinatyanay !!

  • LOKO KA PLA.,.,EH

  • Ikaw yata 'tong gong2x kolera animala ka peste.

  • idoL ko ang NPA kasi cLA lomalaban para sa bayan mabuhay kayo ,.,.

  • ASUSM2VMXSE taga san ka LUZON? Sabagay ganyan talga comments ng mga taga luzon. Buti pa Muslim, zzzz they are not fighting for the good of every one but for their self interest.

    MILF are not fighting for the rights of every one in mindanao. They are fighting for their self interest and nothing else. They are not far from land grabbers they are talking about.

    I also want US oust in the country, they took our own man, that's OURS.

    If you're looking for changes, just dream about it.

  • ask your Presidentiables on how they will answer the Mindanao Question

    can they face the Oligarch families who earn/exploit in this war situation?

    that is the true test question for them- lets make them debate it or ask them to for a Q&A

  • The country will never be at peace and achieve prosperity if government corruptions is not abolished, and they can not bring different rebel groups to a mutual peace agreements.

    All Filipinos can help by electing deserving public officials and long-awaited president who can unify all citizens to build a strong nation.

  • terrorists are either communist or muslem. they always make trouble, everywhere. Marx will not set your soul free, neither will muhammad. they are both dead, and probably both in Hell. Why follow stupid men?

  • TEKA TEKA LANG.. bakit di natin salaminin ang ating sarili kesa yang mga MORO.... mas nakalalamang sila SA ATIN. dahil sila, KAYA NILANG IPAGTANNGOL ANG KANILANG SARILI.... pero tayong mga CRISTIYANO... hindi natin kayang ipaglaban ang ating sarili laban sa mga KURAKOT NA POLITIKO... PURO TAYO COMMENTS dadada.... pero in the fact, WALA TAYONG GINAGAWA PARA SA KAAYUSAN... buti pa yung mga MUSLIMS sa mindanao... magmula pa noon HANGGANG ngayon! LUMALABAN SILA SA KATIWALIAN..

  • NPA compared to MILF ABUSAYAF...

    kalayo....mas pinaglalaban ang NPA compare to moslem people...tingnan nyo nga mas maraming nakatunganga sa inyo..mas maraming tamad...compare byo lugar ng moslem at christian...kalayo..mas damak kayo., unorganize..sinong nagaayos para sa inyo christian..kawalang gana taste nyo..tapos gusto nyo kayo mangunguna dito sa mindanao???ano nalang kaya mangyayari/?pwede rin para magpatayan kayo balik nalng kami dito

  • @rhea- gusto lang nila magkaroon ng internal self determination sa lugar ng old ARMM by the new BJE of MOA-AD- but its just like Authonomy/Federal-not Separation

    tingnan mo ang mapa ng ARMM-hindi naman whole Mindanao yan

    ayaw ko patulan ang pinagsasabi mo kc malalim pa dyan ang dahilan ng 'civil war' na ito.

    support kna lang sa Peace Process at lahat ng Mindanao ppl even whole country makikinabang

    punta ka sa accnt ko at get mo links sa maka-interes syo dun

  • OWSSS.... magaral ka nga ng PHILIPPINE HISTORY!!

  • Death squad and vigilante killing is also happening in southern Mindanao, Davao. Even police enforcers can not be trusted in a lawless and impoverish society, especially there is no strict gun laws.

  • hahahahahahahaha.... funnyyyyyyyyyyy wahahahahahahaha

  • you're not filipino then why did you come here making fucking comments??? you must be the one to be killed first and get exploded with the BOMB for you deserve it..... MUSLIMS supply OIL in the whole WORLD....OIL makes everything works so MUSLIMS make the WORLD goes round.... How THEY become lazy and dirty????? you're BASTARD..... You know NOTHING in this WORLD so GO TO HELL......

  • The americans teach the muslims in arab country to make a living by digging an oil, muslims lives in house made by camel dung.,now that they are rich they hate americans and want americans out from this oil business

  • you talk a lot for a person who "dont care".

    if you dont really care... just watch the video and keep your opinion to yourself.

    peace!

  • kill all the muslim....coz of trouble...

  • CHRISTIANS doesn't make TROUBLE??? Who are the NPA's???? AREN'T THEY CHRISTIANS??? "kill all the muslim....coz of trouble...???????" then DO it YOURSELF!!!! don't RUN,,, MUSLIMS are EVERYWHERE,,,,, let's SEEEEEE............

  • ANAK NG BAYAN inay, itay, ako po ay lilisan patutunguhan ko ay isang digmaan mag-aalay ako ng panahon at buhay para sa kalayaan inay, itay wag kayong mag-alala inyong pagmamahal ay lag kong madarama sa marami pang ama at inang mapagkalinga sa tahanang alay nila sa aking pag-alis kayoy hindi rin mawawalan libong anak ang sa inyoy laging magdaraan katulad ko rin.... mabubuting anak ng bayan
  • Wow great speech huh! BRAVO! But there are 80% of Muslims doing bullshit things like you have said. You don not have a control to them.I know your kind because I AM LIKE YOU BUT CONVERTED INTO CHRISTIAN. I can't blame my parents because they don't want to become stupid like you.

    If you want changes, then embrace COMMUNISM. COMMUNISM WILL OUST OLIGORCH YOU SAID and other country who's digging my property.

    COMMUNISM IS THE BEST SOLUTION FOR THIS. BUT NOT BANGSAMORON, BANGSAMOKLO!

  • We are for peace that MOA-AD will provide, as time goes on, you & me can expand that Peace

    why do you spread hate instead of peace?

    What are you gaining from this anger...both of us have enough angry ppl...

    dont you want to be different, unique?

    Support MOA-AD, it will force Oligarchs to share 75% of revenues to stay in BJE areas, do they share us for past 110yrs?

    is it wrong to ask for share to our rich ancestral lands for our own economy?

    we dont want budget/handouts or freemeals frm GRP

  • i agree on the opinion of artshop1321 the division is politically base.

  • The division of our world are not a result of religion or of culture, but a pollitically base. There is an imbalance in the world and the power less are beginning challenge the hegemony of The great Powers. Declaring their independence of them - often using religious language to do so. A lot of what we call fundamentalism can often be seen as a religious of nationalism, an assertion of identity...

    salaam to all Humanity

  • LETS peace give a chance try to understand and try to sign a MOA... it is a constitutional , but many big business man and elite people dont want peace.. ayaw mag pa lugi .. kawawa naman ang mahihirap wala na nga bahay wala pang hanap buhay wala na ngang tirahan wala pang lupang matitirikan sariling bahay... naasaan na ba ang hustisya para ba sa mayayaman lang or sa mahihirap ba..

    please lets peace give a chance...

    salaam

  • Because is the old generation so corrupt ,they think they are better because they are older.

  • You know bacaca88, before you talk about MO-AD. I WANT YOU TO FREE SCOTLAND!

    If you ask me who's gaining the corruption of course the leaders, President down to below position that included MUSLIM LEADERS and MILF LEADERS.

    I am really looking for changes, and the changes i can see is COMMUNISM MIXED REPUBLIC.

  • There is now call for democratic referendum for Scottish independance. If this happens, then it will be peaceful and respected.

    Why can't this happen in Mindanao?

    If Scotland becomes entirely independant from the UK, then people will respect this and not want to kill each other.

    Thing is, the PI's are about 300 years behind such democracies as the UK (at least).

    So, what do you propose for Mindanao???

  • Do you think your KING AND QUEEN will agree with that? I don't think so. Not also the SCOTLAND but also the IRELAND. They want to establish their own country also. Oh does your PRIME MINISTER has a decision to make about that?

  • Hi NB. Why do you keep on about Scotland and Ireland?

    Mindanao is very different.

    This is because IF the peoples of Scotland and Ireland want independance, then they can vote democratically for this and get it.

    How would this go down in Mindanao?

    For example, can Mindanaoans even get the chance to vote for independance?

    So, your version of democracy is different from the UK.

    Issue here is the rights for people to vote for independance. Please reply on this matter. tnx

  • I also want to ask your honest opinion as to who was behind the Cotabato bomb?

    I think this needs to be raised here, because there are many views from informed people.

  • b4 u ask anybody to change their country-you change your country first

    reform all the GRP- you try that first

    dont meddle in the affairs of ppl who just want to change the old ineffective system

    you should help us if you just think right bcuz thats what were trying to do...

    change the old -corrupt system

    ur confused- your barking at wrong tree...

    you also want change you said, right?

    tell that to gloria! and all GRP!

  • Don't lecture me with your STUPID MOAD, MOAD ist just only FAIRY TALE NOT CLOSE TO REALITY.

    I just wonder why none of you answer my question.

    Why MARAWI CITY the ISLAMIC CITY still don't have PROGRESS?

    Why thousands of MUSLIMS join CHRISTIANS community?

    Why SCOTLAND STILL NOT FREE FROM ENGLAND?

    Why BANGSAMORO cannot CONTROL ABUSAYAF?

    If MILF desired PEACE then why MILF ATTACKS NORTH COTABATO, LANAO DEL NORTE on August 17, 2008 and BOMB ILIGAN CITY ON AUGUST 17, 2008 and DECEMBER 18, 2008?

  • You are right. There are many big issues here.

    But, maybe the problems really lie with corruption amongst powerful officials and not the people?

    Ater all, normal people oppose corruption - right?

    Again, please ask yourself who is gaining from corruption and conflict. I am sure this is not the average man or woman who just want to have happy and peaceful lives, feed their families and have some spare cash to improve their standard of living.

  • Regarding the MOA - AD, this was a ' watered down' document from original agreements (not ratified) under many RP Presidents over decades.

    Maybe then it is undestandable why - after making many concessions - that the Moro's felt that they could not/would not compromise further.

  • I wonder if Obama had been US President (other than the Bush) if the RP would have thrown the MOA-AD from the court like it was?

    It is tragic that innocent people have died just because ' some' place their (illegal) land titles over common decency and morality.

    Unfortunately, these people have friends in the Government who support them from afar as the benefit the same from conflict.

  • Peace in Mindanao (as per the MOA-AD) would benefit indigenous peoples (LUMAD, Moro and also christians) and bring peace (without corruption if done right).

    But the MOA - AD woul also have meant some rich and illegal settlers giving up (some of) their lands.

    This just seems (for many) to follow on from Spanish/US colonialisation efforts in Mindanao which people here have traditionally fought against for centuries.

    So, who is right?; who is wrong here?

  • nailbomb-kahihiyan ng mga lumad- bakit ka kumakampi sa colonizer na umaapi sa lahi mo?

    dba hinmon na kita ng discussion about MOA-AD na magpapatigil sa mga new colonizer na yan, uniwan mo na ang mga lumad.

    saan kana? lika paliliwanagan kita-ipakita mo talino ng paninindigan mo dito

  • what? the colonist/conqueror is viewed as purity/innocent/champion? the point here what the ethnic and religion we are the same as the malay polninesia stock members and our land is in malay archipilago. the fact is the colonist/conqueror is really satanist more than terrorist. look at northern america, mexico, southern america, new zealand and australia. all of their people that have been massacred and replaced by colonist/conqueror (white monkey).

  • Mindanao is not like this.

    Here you can still find untouched LUMAD and Moro culture.

    However, some want to exploit these peoples for US/EU/SE Asian greed for gold, nickel, etc.

    They send anthopoligists, geologists and others to exploit weaknesses of indigineous people to satisfy their greed. If people resist, then they kill those who dissent.

    This is the real truth of Mindanao - a disgrace to the Philippines and the World.

    And people wonder why there is conflict!!!

  • Separation of MINDANAO is not the SOLUTION. BUT HANGING ALL THE CORRUPT LEADERS IS THE BEST SOLUTION, that would be include MUSLIM LEADERS.

    If you said that CHRISTIANS are corrupt but the worst corrupt in this country is also MUSLIMS. The MUSLIMS cannot PROVE their selves they can RUN A PROGRESS COUNTRY. LOOK AT MARAWI CITY? THERE'S NO IMPROVEMENT AT ALL, FAULT SMELLS, BILLIONS OF CRIMES UNSOLVED UNTIL NOW, 60% of POLICE OFFICERS ARE FAKE, SO MANY MAYORS IN MARAWI CITY, THEY DON'T PAY TAXES

  • TheMuslimJesus; if MILF wants peace then,

    Why did you attack North Cotabato and Lanao del Norte on August 18, 2008 and bomb Iligan City on August 17, 2008 and December 17, 2008?

  • check trillanes website, hes a PMA graduate, knows people in high places, has classmates in PMA-during his rebellion-he admit that it them that do the 'dirty works' for the Oligarchs.

    now, trillanes is out -surely, many DOGS will replace him and his old work-they are the ones who did the 'dirty work' in places you mentioned and on others, even now-can you link?

    trillanes could not sleep at night but im sure others with much hate and desire for money-are willing to take his place-and they did.

  • Tell me something, why MARAWI CITY AKA ISLAMIC CITY don't have a progress until now? Why there's a lot of MUSLIMS from MARAWI CITY leave their CITY and join the CHRISTIAN area?

    WHY BANGSAMORO CAN'T KILL ABUSAYAF?

    Does SCOTLAND FREE from ENGLAND?

    The Philippine Politics is SO DIRTY and so the the leaders of BANGSAMORO. In every SKIRMISH they EARN MONEY through donation of every ALLIES of the Philippine Country.

    The more PRESENCE of UN, US, JAPAN and other allies country the more problem add.

  • did i not challenge you to discuss MOA-AD?

    prove to me that it is not worth trying as a peaceful alternative to cycle of violence, you and me dont want

    dont change topic until you answer- can you discuss or too coward

    like those who back out on peace at last moment,

    like those who are not brave enough to sign for peace

    discuss? yes or no?

  • you know you are not fighting the rights FOR EVERY FILIPINO but you are FIGHTING FOR YOUR OWN AGENDA, FOR YOUR OWN SELF INTEREST. Then you call your self a FREEDOM FIGHTER? YOU ARE SICK SON OF A BITCH.

    BANGSAMORON ARE NOT FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM BUT FIGHTING FOR THEIR OWN SELF INTEREST.

    IF YOU WANT OLIGARCHS, THEN WHY DON'T YOU FACE AND KILL THEM ALL? WHY POOR CHRISTIAN CIVILIANS? BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE GUNS AND BOMBS?

    FUCK....I DON'T APPRECIATE BANGSAMORON. I RATHER GIVE SYMPATHY TO NPA.

  • on p1 of MOA-AD: RESPECT and ADHERANCE to UN declaration of HUMAN rights, indegenous rights(thats you, lumad nailB), the UN Charter, International Humanitarian Law, and internationally recognized human rights instruments

    if you run a territory, you want peace, you want to show the world-besides MOA-AD is partnership w/ GRP-they will still be around-read!

    with all modern media like youtube-you cant kill and world will not know- YOUR FEARS DONT MAKE SENSE.

    your acting out of fear not reason

  • This what will happen if BANGSAMORO ESTABLISH THEIR OWN COUNTRY:

    The MUSLIMS will going to ABUSE and killing all CHRISTIANS. CHRISTIANS WILL RESIST AND DEFEND THEIR SELVES AGAINST BANGSAMORO ARM FORCES.

    THE BANGSAMORO WILL GONNA FIGHT EACH OTHER BECAUSE ALL OF THEM WANTS TO BE A LEADER. (WELL GOOD FOR THEM).

    IF BANGSAMORO has own MONEY AND they don't GET ANY HELP from the REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES. IF BANGSAMORO ENTER TO THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES THEY MUST USE A PASSPORT.

  • And, as I write, there is another group of 'terrorists'trying to protect their ancestral domains in Peru against the rich who want to take oil.

    2000 Amazonian Indians are using spears to try stop the government against oil exploration - against automatic weapons and the might of big business.

    They just want their land rights and to be left to live their lifes.

    So, same situation, but LUMAD and Moro are terrorist for this.

    Difference is that the Amazon is high-profile.

  • You are totally wrong, this government is CORRUPT from The President down to the lower position of the government leaders and that also included MUSLIM leaders (NUR MISUARI and other MILF leaders).

    The government wants them to ESTABLISH THEIR OWN COUNTRY BUT THE MUSLIMS (BANGSAMORO) REFUSE IT. WHY THEY FUCKING REFUSE?

  • I agree with you about corruption. This is a major part of the problem. But, there are many good and true people in Sulu, Mindanao and the rest of the PI's.

    The big problem comes from a number of families who have too much power and influence. This makes a sham of the political system and perpetuates conflict - because it suits them.

  • Under 'the Bush' these families got away with this as it was easy to make people fear muslims after 9/11. Now Obama is President, then things are looking a bit different.

    Again, conflict is good for these people as they make good business/can use the AFP to do their dirty work for them.

    It is also easier for them hide behind smokescreens to go about their business of cutting up Mindanao.

    I just wish people could look to the wider picture here.

  • Regarding US AID, you ask people here how much US AID has been traditionally trusted in Moro areas. People think that the US has given aid to get something in return.

    Also, US AID is, in my opinion, not used to address some of the most deprived areas in Mindanao and Sulu because of these reasons and US AID does have a duty of care for its staff.

    Now the Bush has gone, then maybe US AID and other agencies can do more. However, aid staff must be safe to travel - not kidnapped by bandits.

  • where is your proof ' that govt wants them to establish own country'...?

    why refuse? we will not refuse this...so that we will be the one dealing with investors not- OLIGARCHS

    we are the sons of this land, including you, you are lumad, we should be the one 'rich'. and we pay' poor due' every year.

    Oligarchs dont even pat tax, they have offshore accounts. they are the enemy of peace, we are all same-earning basic pay

    bacaca88 got it right, look at big picture, make a leap of imagination

  • Have you been watch NEWS in every night? Did you ask your RETARD BANGSAMORO OFFICIAL that they REFUSE the offer of the GOVERNMENT?

    WHY BANGSAMORO REFUSE?

    Simple, THEY WANT TO ASK MONEY FROM THE PHIL. GOVERNMENT JUST LIKE NUR MISUARI DID OF MNLF. THEY ASK REINFORCEMENT FROM THE PHIL. ARM FORCES IF THEY HAVE WAR FROM THEIR OWN BROTHER MUSLIM.

  • I don't need AMERICA, BUT GLORIA AROYO AND MILF need AMERICA because of donation. The FILIPINO don't get ANY BENEFITS FROM THE US AID but the LEADERS WILL GET THIS BENEFITS AND ALSO THE LUMAD AND MORO. The Filipino CHRISTIANS who don't have FOOD in their plates will continue starving, not only in MINDANAO but also in Visayas and Luzon.

    In every SKIRMISH happen in the PHILIPPINES the LEADERS will earn MONEY through the DONATION FROM THE US or any other ALLIED COUNTRY. EVEN YOUR COUNTRY.

  • I am very sorry, but you seem a little bit 'one track '.

    Your crap Government is to blame for 95% trouble and problems.

    Regarding normal people, they can easily get on together (and have done for centuries).

    Problem is the culture of exploitation and corruption handed down from the Spanish and Americans.

    Philippines is one of richest coutries in the World, but people have zero opportunities and the environment is being destroyed for wealth.

    This is the truth.

  • whoa, whoa, whoa! if that so then why did our country become the best over the rest of the southeast asian nations during the 60's? even competing against japan for asian power? it is not the century old reason my friend, it is the corrupt image that marcos introduced. everyone followed what the marcoses did until now and that is the truth. if our country is really that corrupt, then, our country shouldn't have became a 1st world or even a 2nd world country during the 60s.

  • Now you hit the nail on the head.

    Marcos really made a mess of the PI's - supported by the US.  He especially screwed up Mindanao.

    The PI's can be great in SE Asia and the World, but people have to make peace first.

    People can co-exist happily with understanding and respect.

    However, plenty people now have 'gold fever' (or chrome, copper, silver, manganese, etc 'fever') for Mindanao and deals have been made to 'cut up' the island.

    Who do you think owns Mindanao??

  • The Jabidah Massacre really caused 99% trouble in Mindanao. Caused by a megalomaniac supported by President Johnson (Vietnam War President).

    For others - Marcos (supported by Johnson) planned to invade and take Sabah using people(Moros) from Sulu (Moros here had close ties with Sabah for generations).

    When the Moro people learned of their mission (and Malaysia got wind) Marcos ordered them to be slaughtered to keep it quiet. Cont:-

  • Then Marcos sent settlers to Mindanao and issued them with land titles over and above ancestral domain rights. He supported these settlers with armed militia and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of indiginous peoples.

    This is the cause of trouble in Mindanao.

    Now, look to your history and see who was the most violent, the most greedy, the most corrupt and the most cruel. Then criticise the Moros for standing up to scumbags like Marcos.

  • Now there is a new wave of 'settlers' who are greedy for the riches of Mindanao. They use more sophisticated tactics to bribe and deceive indiginous people (wher they can).

    They come to Mindanao under the guise of providing 'help and aid', but still resort to murder when it suits them. They do this with the support of big international businesses to rape Mindanao.

    Same-same, but more 'palatable' for foreign mining companies et al.

    This is the real truth.

  • And, my friend, as climate chage take hold and the norther islands become inhospitable, Mindanao will become a prime target for those who have acted to destroy the environment.

    Maybe then, they can all sit around and eat dollar bills, gold or whatever riches they have made as the PI's sink into the ocean.

  • And, you still not answer my question about devolution of power to Mindanao. Can Mindanao be freed by devolution??

  • AMERICA has INTEREST, in what SPAIN have. AMERICA declare war AGAINST the SPAIN for NATURAL RESOURCES. AMERICA are so CRAZY about NATURAL RESOURCES.

    Philippines is under of SPAIN, so AMERICA got INTEREST in the PHILIPPINES not to FREE the Filipino but to get what PHILIPPINES have. Even though Filipino don't have much GUNS and CANNONS on that time but our GUERRILLA TACTICS are so accurately effective against the SPANISH FORCES. Even AMERICA so IMPRESS our TACTICS during AMERICAN-FILIPINO WAR.

  • bacaca88 DID YOU FREE SCOTLAND?

  • Interesting question from you. I am a great admirer of William Wallace and Robert Burns.

  • bacaca88, you still never answer my question.

    DID YOU FREE SCOTLAND?

  • I try to answer your inane question, but it is not posted.

  • Do you believe in devolution like in Wales, Ireland and Scotland for Mindanao?

    Regarding history, what do you know of Scottish history? Look up Hadrian's Wall. The Scots fought against all invaders and have never lost their cultural identity and are proud of this.

    Go to Scotland and call a Scot 'British' (worse 'English') and see the response.

    Thing is that Scots are proud of their heritage and have fought for this. Maybe they are terrorist in your eyes?

  • And, in answer to your question, the Scots have always been free people.

    They have fought for this - politically and symbolically.

    This is the 'norm'in Europe and in most free countries - i.e. democracy.

    You use 'americanisms' in your language. Now let us discuss the US and history.

    E.g. do you think America 'freed' the Philippines from the Spanish? Did you free the Philippines, or did the Americans do this for you?

  • And why do you need America to help you still?? Why are you still dependant upon the US for Aid? Why do most aspire to live in the US? Why do you use 'poor' US slang terminology?

    It seems like you have lost your cultural identity to the US and still look to them for help all the time. Or maybe you like the Spanish?

    This is why I respect LUMAD and Moro - they have cultural identities which I and many can identify with - not 'US wannabe's' like you.

  • Don't you like William Wallace?

  • I heard about him, and i like his bravely action against ENGLISH. We have a lot here in the Philippines. We have LAPU-LAPU, he killed FERDINAN MAGELAN who discovered Philippines in March 15, 1521. Andres Bonifacio the father of revolutionary who's been kill by the men of aguinaldo. Gen. Gregorio del Pilar with his 60 Filipino soldiers fought against the "Texas Regiment", the 33rd Infantry Regiment of the United States led by Peyton C. March on December 2, 1899.

  • Macario Sakay and many others who fought to defend their land and for freedom against the conqueror and corrupt government. The Philippine Marines also fighting against MILF for their AMBITIOUS AND SELF INTEREST. CIVILIANS ALSO FIGHTING AGAINST MILF to defend their family and love ones who's been slaughter by the MILF on March 21, 2000 and AUGUST 18, 2008.

    NPA also fighting against the CORRUPT LEADERS and also their dreams, COMMUNIST.

  • WOW ANOTHER FALLS INFORMATION ABOUT NPA IN THE PHILIPPINE COUNTRY.

    Better you read the HISTORY OF THE PHILIPPINES BEFORE YOU ACT LIKE YOU HAVE A BETTER IDEA.

    WITH OUT THE REVOLUTIONARY (NPA NOW) THE PHILIPPINES HAS NO ARM FORCES.

    True NPA wants communist country like CHINA, RUSSIA, NORTH KOREA AND VIETNAM. Look at those country, so progressive compare to this country so corrupt and leaders thinks only their self interest (BANGSAMORO INCLUDED) not for the best of the rest.

  • you dont know communism/socialism, brother.

    u will have no private owership under them all 'commune'-they will RATION you enough to live. collect all your surplus.

    compared to Islam, you can become rich (w/c is natural & drive ppl to work hard for family) but you give 2.5% of savings TO THE POOR every year as obligation.

    OLIGARCHS are for family wealth-others their slaves

    Communist are for country wealth-others their slaves

    Commies are OLIGARCHS the 'big-way'

    Islam is the most natural systm

  • In Communism THERE IS NO TERRORISM while in ISLAM there is TERRORISM. Look at the WORLD LEADING TERRORISM it's ISLAM. Who did WORLD TRADE CENTER it's ISLAM.

    At least in NPA they DON'T ATTACK CIVILIANS, MILF attack CIVILIANS AND BURN THEIR HOUSES, RAPE THE VICTIMS, KILL THE CHILDREN AND BABIES....

    What 2.5% savings TO THE POOR? Please don't make my ASS LOUGH OUT SO LOUD. I don't see it in the MUSLIM area if they did that. Education? A lots of MUSLIM move to CHRISTIAN AREA because of EDUCATION.

  • Muslm children has been educated TO HOLD GUNS AND BOMBS while CHRISTIAN education thought ABC and to love their parents.

    MUSLIM killing US and until now we don't get JUSTICE. CHRISTIAN woman has been rape until now they don't get JUSTICE.

    IN ISLAM THERE IS NO FREEDOM, NO FREEDOM whom you want to CHOOSE TO MARRIED. IN ISLAM YOU MUST HAVE 5 WIVES, well MUHAMMAD education, not to respect WOMAN. MUHAMMAD IS A FUCKER, LUNATIC, that's why he teach FALSE EDUCATION.

  • Who are you working for and what do you believe in? You talk like a revolutionary.

  • And, an ignorant man at that.

    Go f**k off to the US where you can find some right wing extremist 'nazi' mates who can make you feel important.

    Now I lose patience with you child!

  • you dont know-communism, the collective PURGES even if only one is suspect, the LABOR CAMPS, if you dont agree, they dont value life, no belief in God- evrybody just like animals. poor nailB-worse, he doesnt know! go with them, so u know.

    we accept the jews & christians during inquisition etc, marry of 4(not 5) is option(not must), you study Islam b4 u spit out-further expose your brain power.

  • education huh?

    lets dissect MOA-AD here as a peaceful solution to this cycle of violence

    have you read it? or just copy 'unconstitutional cry of the greedy OLIGARCHS?

    answer this...what is the advantage of the 75%(for mindanao) and 25%(for GRP) sharing of revenues? what is the present sharing of revenues today?

    show your education to all!

  • why dont this NPA fools kill corrupt leaders instead of innocent people . i just dont get it ... they keep killing the wrong people thats why they dont get any result . what an idiots

  • they are just desperate fools lacking attention. they are only wanabe communists. if you hand the country to them, this country would more likely turn north korea in no time. those NPA fools are far useless to MILF rebels, i mean, all these NPA weaklings do is hide. MILF or MNLF is better than them. when these NPA rebels hear gunshots, they'll run with their tails tucked in their legs. what these wanabe communist are good at are killing innocent civilians and chickens.

  • What is ideological difference from MNLF, MILF and NPA regarding protecting the rights of indigineous peoples and stopping mining in Sulu/Mindanao? I think NPA care much for this and have good LUMAD support? LUMAD/Moro peoplese are close on this matter. Am I right?

  • bacaca88 you are DAMN FUCKING WRONG. NPA ARE THE COMMUNIST PARTY IN MY COUNTRY. LIKE I SAID, STAY AWAY YOU DON"T KNOW ANYTHING.

    BUTT HEAD!

  • Why do you always revert back to 'American-style' abuse when you reply to people here?

    Also, too much use of the upper case.

    Again, I wonder if you (or your family) have acted badly in the past and are now frightened of the MOA -AD?

    Why should you be if this brings lasting peace?

  • The more presence of UN in the country the crisis will not end. ARM FORCES OFFICIALS sale GUNS, AMO AND BOMBS to the enemy. UN also give them money for humanitarian but the money will not use for humanitarian BUT TO BUY GUNS, AMO, AND BOMBS.

    If UN wants to help then better they leave this problem or crush this BANGSAMORO.

    But the thing you don't know is, the SPANISH, AMERICAN and the DUTCH ARMY are fightis this BANGSAMORO to grab land from them because of NATURAL RESOURCES.

  • Now you are just making silly statement about the UN. And, if you think that the UN are going to fight the Bangsamoro on behalf of the GRP, then you are really deluded.

    Regarding the Spanish, Americans, Japanese and Philippine Government (who were all after/are after natural resources), then they either have a 'good' experience of the Bangsamoro or are experiencing this at the moment.

    I suggest you deal with corruption within the GRP and the AFP before you take any kind of moral high ground.

  • BEFORE WE GOING TO DO THAT YOU BETTER STAY AWAY FROM OUR PROBLEMS BECAUSE YOUR PRESENCE IS THE ADDITIONAL OF OUR PROBLEMS HERE.

    Yes the Spanish, Americans, Japanese and the Dutch has a "GOOD EXPERIENCE OF KILLING BANGSAMORO". I understand the OLD BANGSAMORO and I LOVE THE WAY THEY KILL THIS WHITE MONKEY LIKE YOU 1900 - 1950.

    But at this MOMENT, there is NO MORE LAND GRABBERS IN MINDANAO BUT IMPOSTOR BANGSAMORO WHO DESIRED CHAOS, RAPE, KIDNAPPING, MURDERS, can you live like this bacaca88?

  • OK, so you can say who you are and ' how big' you are to to make threats like this.

    I think you are a small fat Filipino who has licked the ass of his father to corrupt Mindanao.

    Who are you???  Be brave and say - or shut up.

  • And who do you are also? A BIG AMERICAN IDIOT? keep pretending that you're IDEA IS GOOD? BULLSHIT. You DON"T EVEN KNOW WHAT NPA FIGHTING FOR?

    SO YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S NEED TO BE SHUT HERE. NOT ME. I NEVER SUPPORT TERRORIST, AND YOU? BIG BUTT HEAD, SYMPATHIZE AND HELP THE TERRORIST THE BANGSAMORO TERRORIST.

  • b4spain, do you know what's inside the MOA-AD? Is really peace for Mindanao or CHAOS. The act of BANGSAMORO, they always wants to pay the price is the POOR CIVILIANS because CIVILIANS don't have WEAPONS to counter this BARBARIANS TERRORIST.

    UNLIKE NPA, they only attack ARMY, ARMY, ARMY, ARMY, ARMY, ARMY, ARMY, ARMY, ARMY, ARMY, ARMY, ARMY, ARMY, ARMY. BEAUSE NPA PROTECTS CIVILIAN AGAINST GOVERNMENT ABUSER.

    WHAT BANGSAMORO DID? THEY DON'T PROTECT CIVILIANS YET THE SLAUGHTER THEM.

    FUCK YOU!

  • If a peace agreement is signed that you do not like (but most do), then are you going to take up arms to fight?

    I wonder what you will lose if peace is made?

    Maybe you can try to reply without too many expletives. It make you look like a lunatic.

  • Amnesty International have asked the government to look into collusion between the military/government officials and the Abu Sayyaf. The real question is who is behind this policy. Maybe better for the UN to investigate this.

  • Tell me, tell me, tell me. You want me to embrace BANGSAMORO. Do you think the KIDNAPPING CRISIS will end? Do you think the KIDNAPPING, RAPE of CHRISTIAN WOMAN, murderers will end? There's so many Christian has been killed, kidnapped and rape by the muslims and yet the responsible are still free.

    Do you think this CRISIS will end? BANGSAMORO itself doesn't want to end the Abusayaf because the ABUSAYAF is their brothers and relatives.

    Are you gonna blame us why we don't want BANGSAMORO?

  • b4spain you know, you know nothing about MINDANAO truly. You just only read their SHIT PROPAGANDA and then you believe to them.

    You wants some links? I give you links, find it here in youtube. "Lanao del Norte attack, MILF attack mindanao august 18, 2008, Iligan City Bombing, North Cotabato attack"

    This MILF keep attacking in every town so that the mayors and governors sign the MOA-AD that why we refuse it and we don't like it. IS THAT WHAT YOU CALLED PEACE B4SPAIN? TONTO.

  • Some how, there are some MUSLIMS WHO DON'T GIVE SYMPATHY TO BANGSAMORO FOR THEY KNEW WHAT BANGSAMORO AIMS AND GOALS. THEY FOUND PROGRESS LIVING WITH THE CHRISTIANS AND GOVERNMENT, THEY FOUND PEACE.

  • really? so why is this rebellion keep coming up for ages? since oldspain until now?

    why are you anti-MOA-AD? no muslims oppose it...only non-natives filed petition in Court?

    this ppl who filed they have thousands of hectares,plantations,mining,lo­gging lands w/c they have self-interest, its natural they oppose. bcuz they acquired this by LEGALIZED THIEF.

    how about you? whats ur interest in mindanao?

    if u have small land w/your house, its yours..

    just dont side w/ these GREEDY OLIGARCHS

  • b4spain, did you know that in every election in the Philippines is more violence? Most of the Candidates killing each other just to get the higher position in the government. The President of MSU MARAWI payed over 1 MILLION PESOS just get that Posistion. They also pay over more than 1 MILLION PESOS also just to assign MARINES in JULO - SULO.

  • You are right. Politics here are led by the rich for power and corruption. But listen to wise people who want the best for people and peace.  Killing journalists is the national sport of the ruling elite to silence the masses. Conflict is caused by some to 'ease' environmental destruction for profit. Most just want the best chance for their children for the future. This is an easy concept for decent people to grasp and agree with. Respect.

  • In which part should I respect bacaca88?

    PEACE? You ask peace for MINDANAO?

    BULLSHIT, if there is WAR then the presence of PEACE surrounded in around the place of MINDANAO. As long there's a presence of BANGSAMORO (MILF, MNLF AND ABUSAYAF) THERE IS NO PEACE this TERRORIST GROUP DESIRED JIHAD.

    BANGSAMORO scared to be slaughtered by the PHIL. ARM FORCES and YET sometimes they get safe PASSAGE to SLAUGHTERED CIVILIANS AND RAPE WOMAN.

    NOW TELL ME....SHOULD BANGSAMORO FREE?

  • b4spain, please read my comments instead of pushing your MOA-AD KILLER, CORRUPT.

  • FREE BANGSAMORO?

    It sounds to me like, point your gun into your head and pull the trigger.

    There's no peace of BANGSAMORO rule mindanao. You don't even know BANGSAMORO, you don't even know what's their aim and motives.

    The present Government earn money from MILF, MNLF and ABUSAYAF in their skirmish. The ARMY, MARINES and RANGERS are willing to die just make sure that this BANGSAMORO wipe out. But their orders are to stand down while MILF. MNLF and ABUSAYAF massacre civilians.

    FREE YOUR SHIT

  • Kidnapping civilians, kidnapping non-combatants, you call yourselves revolutionists? Have you no pride in what you stand for? If you cannot even answer that you don't deserve to be called as revolutionist but as cowards and terrorists you bangasamoro rebels! Your actions so as your reasons. You may point out the errors that has been done by our government. However the image that you bangasamoro people have portrayed to us, deprives of any trust!

  • if the people has a percieved rootcause real or unreal, why cant the leaders in luzon address it?

    if its not real theres' is nothing to solve & there will be no symptoms among the ppl.

    if you treat them as animals, why be surprised if they act like one? for 110yrs they are patient animals, now angry animals. can u understand that?

    how about the kidnappers in luzon? thre is no conflict there, so thats worst, all resources poured at luzon, still kidnappings/everyday.

    why not free BANGSAMORO?

  • FREE BANGSAMORO?

    What they are fighting for? FREEDOM? They are free to mingle with Christians. They are free to educate.

    Most of the MUSLIMS are lazy don't want to work. Have you seen Marawi City b4spain? Do you love the smell of your shit? Muslims are dirty kind people. Most of their works are illegal, like drugs, Carnap, kidnapping, they are greed for powers. If they have this then we Christians Civilians will facing into a CIVIL WAR against MUSLIMS and BANGSAMORO.

  • let them run their country like hell, if they want-just get out of there...cuz they look at you as new colonizers-invaders-occupiers-­landgrabbers.

    why dont you leave them to fight among themselves, you have lands in luzon & bisayas, right?

    why do you like to go to their lands and mix with them, they are dirty & smelly, right?

    why do settlers come....where is your peoples land in luzon or bisayas?

    why do you have NPA?

    why do u become the most corrupt in Asia?

    why nailbomb? why? pls answer.

  • There is no easy solutions, get it? It is not only the system that needs a change but the people themselves. I just don't like the idea of you people, most of the people in this country beg for an easy solution. This matters is complicated, and solutions to these matters too are complicated. It will take a long time unless both parties help each other. Its not like I don't like peace,but as I see it,I think you people are only looking for an easy solution out of this,not looking at the downsides

  • Its not like I don't like the war in mindanao be stopped as soon as possible. What I only want is both sides, both parties look for an effective solution, not threaten each other. I know its difficult and complicated but I know too that you people too are not that too barbaric, I think most of you are even educated I think.

  • drifter..study the MOA-AD

    its has components not tried bfore like:

    - if we want have investor that want to spend capital-we can negotiate directly w/out passing the redtape of imperial manila.

    - a percentage relationship w/c native development gets bigger share-to correct economic imbalance of past, not basic pay as greedy developers want.

    - a territory by land &sea, so we can compute sharing percentage to rest of country.

    this system w/lasting peace or generations of war in old system

  • YOUR MOA-AD IS CORRUPT and MOA-AD IS MORO ISLAMIC LIBERATION FRONT (MILF).

    YOU LIKE THEM DO YOU. YOU'RE A TERRORIST.

  • why is it corrupt?

    im just like everyone...looking for a solution not tried before...

    you point a finger o
