GRP-MILF draft pact on Bangsamoro homeland

[Revenant]

I haven't really been following this issue until I tuned in to DZRH and heard Manny Piñol rave about arming themselves to resist this "territorial expansion" which would allegedly be a threat to the non-Muslims in Mindanao who live in places that would be included in the new Bangsamoro territories.

Can anyone shed some info about the validity of the ancestral domain that the MILF is claiming? Is this something that we should be alarmed about?

Stupid Government!!!

itinatago ito ng pgma admin sa ating lahat.
magpi-pirmahan na lang nuong nilabas nila sa taong bayan.

magkakaroon na ng sariling bansa ang milf sa mindanao. (mabuti kung yung isang m.i.l.f. na alam natin ang magtatayo dun.) hehehe.... ok na naman yung present autonomous region, huwag naman nila ipamigay na parang lumang damit lang ang ilang bahagi ng mindanao.

malamang may malaking pera na involved din dito.
hintayin natin ang sasabihin ng ating supreme court kung papayagan nila palusutin ito without holding a referendum/congressional churva.

There are a lot of non-Muslims who are living in those areas....

Personally, I feel that this is another treacherous deal by our government, who should be serving our interests....

Sira ulo lang ang naniniwala sa ancestral domain claim na yan. Remember Islam was the dominant religion of the Philippines prior to the Colonization, if the ancestral domain is valid then Republic of the Philippines shall be and must be replaced by Bangsamoro republic.

Mindanao was dominated by Islam religion before the settlers came. Napaka inutil naman ng republikang to.

COTABATO -- Muslim separatists traded mortar fire with troops in the southern Philippines just hours after the Supreme Court stopped a land dealExchange between them and the government, the military said Tuesday.

The mortar attack by an unknown number of Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) rebels on soldiers stationed near Midsayap town lasted for about half an hour late Monday, the military said.

The rebels had taken positions in the town's outskirts, displacing more than 300 families, in violation of a 2003 ceasefire accord, the military said.

"The MILF fired about a dozen mortars toward army positions," said regional army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Julieto Ando. "We returned mortar fire, but there were no reports of casualties."

Ando said the rebels who attacked apparently ignored commands from the MILF leadership to leave the area as both sides negotiated a deal on territory.The attack came after the Supreme Court in Manila stopped the government from signing a deal that would have given the MILF administrative and economic power over a large semi-autonomous area in southern Mindanao island.

The deal was to have been signed Tuesday in Malaysia, which has been brokering peace talks between the two sides.

The agreement was meant to pave the way for a final political settlement to end the MILF's 30-year fight for an independent Islamic state in the southern third of this largely Roman Catholic nation.
