it is just like saying 'give back the land to the Aetas" or "give back the land to Datu Lapu2x", or something like that. History is past. Yes, it is also important to look back once in awhile but the only way to peace is looking forward. IMHO, i favor the change of heart of the MNLF to agree to ARMM, a peaceful solution. I know the break away of some of their members forming a separatist MILF, but look how they behave themselves nowadays. Killing civilians and burning their houses is not in any way "civilized". It's not also in any way a standard for RULES OF ENGAGEMENT.
Ancestral domain is securing the rights of the "lumads". Lumads refer to indigenous people, not only Muslims but also other ethnic groups here like the Bagobos and Tbolis. It is nowhere in this description to make ancestral domains separate from the Philippines. Heck, for all we know, these Muslim separatists claiming to be "lumads" could have been migrants from nearby Malaysia...besides, who are still "lumads" nowadays huh?
Mao btaw gihimo ang ARMM to acknowledge ancestral domain in some way. Sorry to say this but i think this separatist cause they are waving about is very much tainted with opportunism, discrimination, indifference, and SELFISHNESS.
i know that in some way the Muslim people in Mindanao have been marginalized but it is the same story with the rest of the country. BUT IT IS IMPORTANT to decipher between marginalized by religion or ethnicity. Basing on ethnicity is deemed proper. But on religion? I don't think so. Our Constitution has no religion.
Ethnic tribes in Luzon were marginalized. Aetas in Samar were too. The point is, we are no longer living in ethnic clusters. We are living in a globalized arena where Caucasians cross w/ Asians to bear mestizo kids. Take a look for example in the U.S.. It is a melting pot of all races. Even the whites now are the ones marginalized by Latin-Americans, Italian-Americans, Afro-Americans, Asian-Americans, etc...Take a look at Hongkong. Take a look at Malaysia, India, or Singapore. They've progressed coz they have set aside ethnic differences and worked together forward. NOT BACKWARD.
If these rebels disown the Phil. gov't and saying Moroland shouldn't be part of the country in the first place, then they are not fit to be called FILIPINOS. Heck, they even shouldn't be fans of FPJ or Pacquiao.
Giving a brief background of the cause of their struggle is always a form of bias and propaganda to someone like you.
well you are entitled to your own opinion that includes WEAK opinion. Weak because you fail to see the real message.
Why not? why not give back the land to the AETAS. Its their land,cguro youre one of those mestisos who preached christianity and in return took our lands heh?
thats my point sir, History is history and according to history MINDANAO was never occupied by the colonizers. They immoraly annexed the island of mindanao w/c was never part of the conquered lands.
thats what your ancestors did, mga manginiglad ug kawatan ug yuta nga dili inyo. The only way to give justice to it is to give it back again.
killing civilians? LOLz are you sure? do you have evidence to support it. Dont parrot what you heard over the radios and Televisions. The media was not there when it happened, they got the info from the military.Sometime in times of war its easier to blame the mistakes to your enemies.
let me paint a different picture sir...listen carefully...when the soldiers heard that there were rebels in that particular barrio, they came with their weapons but what they dont know was that the MILF already retreated. SOP required the soldiers to bomb the area first before giving a clearance. So they came and bombed the place not knowing that the rebels were no longer there, so instead of killing the rebels they miscalculated and hit the civilians. Naturally asa man nila e blame? sa ila? LOLz.
i have a lot more to say but i will refrain, due to the sensitivity of the subject.
Are the maranaos,tuasug, etc not lumads of that place? na unsa na gud ng imong judgement sir.
Sir we have no rights to judge and condemned whatever motives they have for asking ancestral domain. The issue is give back what rightfully belongs to them. Cguro ang naa sa gobyerno ang mga opportunista.
our constitution has no religion? hmm, in the first place these muslims never asked to be part of this constitution. they already have a self identity even before magellan. They already have their own laws governed by islam.
Again sir,its not the marginalization but self integrity.
they have set aside ethnic differences? are you blaming the poor governance of our country to some ethnic issues? LOLz. Corruption sir is the number reason why our country can not progress.
Yes they are not fit to be called pilipino, THEY ARE PROUD MOROS, that knows well their real identity . unlike many of us here proud kaau ta ana nga name pilipino. Base sa name ni king felipe sa panahon nila ang tawag nila ninyo is indios mga mestiso ug katsila ra ang puede asna nga name. nya proud kaau ka ana, maau pa si Marcos.
mao cguro dili ta mo asenso kay liwat ning pilipinas ni king felipe.
