The Philippines forgotten war: Part 1 - 03 Aug 07

Maybe we should remember the heroism of our muslims brethren in the south. They have defended our nation in every wars. Our muslim brothers made the last stand angainst the invanders of our country. Yet none of them is considered a heroe.
Not all muslims in the south are against the government. Its is the government who is corrupt and turn their back on our brothers. We sometimes forgot who we are and what made our country whole.

thank you- well said

Thank you for your considered and balanced comment. The big problem with peace is not between the ordinary Filipino peoples; it is caused by the GRP who want to fight muslims for their ancestarl domain for minerals and natural gas to line their own pockets. LUMAD are also targetted, but the GRP used different methods to subdue them.

99% Filipino can easily work together and make peace without corrupt oligarch politicians making conflict to make themselves richer.

Just like always..you are never short on vacuous comments...typical Muslim racist from Middle East.

Filipinos fought colonialism that's is why they're independent, except for some brainwashed Moro rebels who think by continuing to fight the government using terrorism, will finally submit to their ambitious demand- control of Islamic state.

They are only preventing their fellow Moros from achieving successful and prosperous lives.

Flip - you are talking here with false words which you think others will like to hear. You are an Arroyo propaganda official IMO based in the US - maybe....

Just realise that 99% of the people that you like (get paid?) to influence are far better educated and experienced than your inbred 11-toed oligarch bosses.

Keep wasting your time/their money and laugh you way to the bank on their backs.

If you are not in their employ, then you are a sucker for nothing.

The war is the fault of the moro They do not want to integrate Into Philippine Culture. I think the solution here is to bring filipino families there so the Moros can Assimilate.

Philippine culture = apologising for colonialism and feeling inferior.

While your wife/girlfriend tries to keep 'white' to keep up with the 'colonials' (your main priority), then the Moro people fight for their lands and culture agaist plastic nobodys like you.

Do us all a favour and stay in Luzon so you can drown by typhoon floods.

@FLIP- that proposal is part & is a must

all guns shud be withdrawn in Mindanao- lets make an atmosphere that the gun is not needed & obsolete

lets make sure there is an effective-quick way of addressing grievances

that can be speeded up by the prosperity MOA-AD can bring

With the all the international community involved here, the MILF should present reasonable demands that will be favorable not just to GRP but those who will be affected by their proposal and GRP should push for disarmament not just against MILF but the civilian vigilante groups, CVO , CAFGU and others.

@FLIP- Dont spread thats its only OIC

It not only OIC countries but also European countries

even Intl NGO & local NGO are welcome

thats a fair proposal by GRP & Moro

whats ur fear by this European Countries & Intl NGO?
