Yup. I find it hard to believe the AFP didn't anticipate this move by the MNLF, or at least acted when they learned of the mass personnel movement of moro combatants in Zamboanga.

They should have struck against the MNLF preemptively. Now, it's a total mess.

Subukan lang ni Nur na sakupin dto sa amin. Makikita niyang hinahanap niya. Ilang beses na ang plebisito dito, talo sila palagi, kulit naman talaga oh.

Just a random thought.

Could the Zamboanga attack could be part of an elaborate scheme to get the attention of the people away from all the pork barrel protests?

I wouldn't put it beyond the capabilities of certain senators/congressmen. All it requires is funding to hire enough mercenaries and weapons to do enough damage in the city while claiming they are from the MILF.

isip... isip...

I wouldn't be surprised if it is. Those corrupt politicians won't hesitate to sacrifice people to save themselves. The poor hapless victims would be just "collateral damage" to them.

Gusto ni Misuari suyu suyuin na naman cya at ibalik sa pwesto kaya nag papansin..

He had his time sa ARMM pero parang wala nmang nagawa

I'm here in Zamboanga city right now and all i can say from all the Facebook posts and tweets, it's all exaggerated.

But, there really are guns fired, rpgs and hostages. the government is afraid to fire due to the civilian hostages. They can't take down the City, Southcom is here and so is the airbase with the UsAirforce in it.
