BBC and CNN only show you what the governement wants you to know. BBC is not as bad as CNN "I admit"

Very good. I've never heard of this on the BBC.

My grand mother and my mother was raised in Mindanao.. She never ran out of war stories.. some people might think its fun specialy when they think about computer games and stuff like that but in reality, theres nothing funny about your house getting riddled by bullets and heads chopped off in front of you.

the americans says that iraq, and afghanistan are the worst place at war. .then let them eat those words, mindanao is far more worse than 2 of that places just think of this MILF? NPA? ABU SAYAFF? BMA? this groups are time tested already they are waging war to the government for decades, guerilla tactics are superb. .and the civilian in the south for them RIFLES and other guns are like toys for them. .lets face it peace is far from reality in mindanao. .

@nezty27 Dude, An armed sniper in the Philippines can draw the face of mikey mouse on your stomach belly. I heard once that a muslim sniper raked a Philippine Marine with an AK-47 and cut off the left side of his upper chest, left arm and the left half side of his head, just using the AK-47. Trust me, go over there and act stupid and you'll get a dozen bullets in you so fast, you won't even have time to shout for help.

in the Philippines people are not afraid to fight cause they have allies like for instance im not afraid to bully other people cause i have a friend who works as a police or i have a family member who works as a military personnel this is what i know in my country and it will remain as long as they have power over the weak

@nezty27 why would you not be able to hit the target?...when you can practice ur shots as much as you want...Living in this type of residential province in the Philippines,I doubt target will be missed.
