USA is the root of this problem. They founded the Republic of the Philippines in 1946. Mindanao has large oil and gold resources, all belonging to the USA. The USA pay the Philippines to fight the people in Mindanao. The US soldiers in Mindanao violate human rights by killing and raping innocents. The USA saw to it, that central philippine ethnic groups, "foreigners", were to migrate to Mindanao, thus pushing the natives back. Mindanaoans have been fighting for independence for 400 years now.

@GaolisVideoLog Then you been miss informed In Northern Mindanao there was a katipunan it was a nationwide Revolution we have evidence to support it maybe you made a mistake because he said tagalog republic one of the Katipunan republics what he means by that all filipinos are tagalogs (people of the river) since lots of filipinos live on or near rivers

[TheRPdefender1989]

@GaolisVideoLog your wrong the philippine republic was founded by filipinos the first republic was founded by filipinos also known as the Malolos republic even before that the Katipunan republics why before the American came here. 2nd republic was japanese appvored but it did what it can to save lives the thrid republic was American promise due the Philippine Independence law also known as the Tydings-McDuffie Law so again your wrong.

[GaolisVideoLog]

@TheRPdefender1989 That's not true. There were several revolutions going on in the Philippines, however the Katipunan didn't make it to the other islands, they barely made it to Bicol. Bonifacio later just stated that even the Visayas are part of the Tagalog at that moment in time, but they were doing their own thing.

@JamesMusslewhite Actually, I'm looking at the "billateral relations" the Philippines and the USA have, as well as the publications of the European Union, the German Auswärtige Amt, the university of Singapore and Philippine Daily Inquirer, not to forget my grandfather who worked in the US embassy when I look at this situation. It's not something I pull out of my nose. And it's not even hidden knowledge. It's openly accessible to the broad public.

@GaolisVideoLog Don't let a little thing like facts get into the way of a good rant

[TheRPdefender1989]

@GaolisVideoLog the tagalog republic means phil republic it started with bonifacio did not like the word filipino or the philippines according to him all people living in ph are all tagalogs and phil revolution not happening in other phil provinces wrong again iloilo,panay, negros, cebu (visayas) and north mindanao like cagayan de oro were the spanish were in control under aginaldo phil republic so your wrong look it up in the library.

@niceguy999918 the bangsamoro accept themself as the filipino. But since there are double standard in goverment, They feel that they should have some autonomy within their own land, that is what are they fighting for right now. But the fact is not all bangsamoro agree to have autonomy. Some want a complete seperation from philipine. I'm sure you know why,,,,,, look for bangsamoro or mindanao video in youtube.... u will see why.There a lot of documentary on that.

[niceguy999918]

@umai21 Well lets all pray that the two groups stick to negotiating. Moro's have their rights to owning land, a business, freedom of expression, their culture ect. What else do they want. Can you really see the filippino government saying ok sure you can have your own country separate from us. The island is 64% Christian. Why not except you are part of the Philippines? Why not except that the Philippines just has many cultures, and we can share?

[umai21]

@niceguy999918 a battle will never be lost until winner is announced. In case of mindanao, the milf and the philipine gov is in still negotiating. So there are still no winner. By the way ..you really do have low sense of ownership. do you really think the moro will just let go just like that. Its like you are letting stranger taking your house without a fight. ... either you die protecting your right or you get a good compensate from it.....
