@robhinful in other words, you"re teling me,that all muslims are terrorist . I dont meant to offend muslim religion . get your facts right

@purehuman Your words have been the same for 3 years and achieved nothing. Your oligarch pupet masters have achieved nothing but war and deaths for decades - world leaaders in killing and misery. The GRP continues this conflict to line their pockets with blood money and to draw the United States to the Philippines to give them military support and cash to keep them powerful - just like in Vietnam in the 60's.

@jurbinsky77 Im sorry, im an Indonesian and you are not telling the whole story to what was happening in my country . Isnt it very obvious that everything you know is what your media told u. If you are talking about muslim, it means you are talking about something bigger than just Manila and the problems are more complicated than u thought but if you are talking about mindano muslims, you should take their demand seriously than what their religion is, Otherwise you can start the WW III.

@bacaca88 longest in your own creation. DOGMATIC & IGNORANCE DRIVEN MUSLIM REBELS. you're talking about managing problem when in fact you can't even manage your own SMALL GROUP. move on brother.

@MultiGunner666 Stop spending the money and sending people to die needlessly. Make the same efforts to bring the conflict to a peaceful conclusion. Educate yourself regarding the original cause of this conflict and the despicable way in which the Spanish, Americans and GRP has behaved agains the indigenous populations in Mindanao and Sulu. Find and read a copy of the MOA-AD which your court system (aka usual oligarch names) kicked out. Than we can talk some more.

@mpakinson LOL !!..who likes to hide in the jungles of Mindanao ? these Moros are the ones doing it, have they won any large battles against the Philippine military ?..the answer is never, they're only good at attacking small army patrols, killing captured soldiers and civilians, and beheading people..independence you say, when given the opportunity the Muslims proved that they can't govern themselves, look at the ARMM, it's a big mess !!! Despite billions of pesos in national and foreign aid..

[MultiGunner666]

@bacaca88 Who the hell are you to call others ignorant just because they disagreed with you ?..This country spends billions of pesos on a Muslim autonomous region and gets nothing in return, initiated countless peace talk with the Muslims to no avail and yet it spends money on madrahsas, helps Muslims pilgrims get to Mecca, allows polygamy, Sharia courts..which side has a track record of attacking while negotiating, violating peace terms and so on ?..
