KONTRA-AGOS RESISTANCE FILM FESTIVAL begins on December 5-11, 2007 at Indie Sine, Robinson's Galleria, Manila

Plot:

Born of a Muslim mother, young writer Arthur Sakaluran Abasalo decides to visit Sulu despite the perceived strife and presence of Muslim rebels and Abu Sayyaf terrorists.

He returns to Sulu to start a new life after being reunited with his family.

Arthur returns to Manila after a short stay in Sulu, bringing with him memorable stories and truths about the island feared by many as a dangerous place to go.

We fought as a country therefore we bear the weight of a loss as a whole. This even if many of you argue that you never conquered or beaten by colonizers. It is just the other way around, mainam nga at hindi natikman o gaanong nabiktima ng mga kapatid natin sa Mindanao ang lupit ng mga dayuhan kumpara sa mga naranas ng mga taga Luzon at Visayas. Huwag lilimutin na ang mga tao sa Luzon at Visayas ay karamihan na dati ring mga Muslim. You were fortunate to be the victor and not the victim.

1-not conquered by old spain so not pilipino

2- Aguinaldo put 2 tagalogs in mindanao n sulu seat-malolos con

3-Quezon intercept petitions n lobby US to include them in Phil Map

4-they give away ancestral lands w preference to settlers 24hectars allowed them, 4hectrs for natives.

5-Islam not allowed in curiculllum

6-oligarch LAND GARB vast tracts, logging, ranches,mining

7-natives tried diplomacy-shut down by oligarchs as unconstitutional
