---

Got a feeling this was done to cover up or divert the attention from the Napoles issue.

the feeling is getting stronger now.. ... wa gihapon ma-leksyon ang AFP nga nagpasi-atab nga wla na kunoy followers si misuari nga in fact, cya man gani nagpadalag additional forces sa sabah standoff....

The gov't should give them ultimatum.
They want war then it's about time we finish this long overdue problem with rebels.
The more we give in, the more they will demand and the more civilians will be sacrificed.
Just like Erap, clean 'em up!

[Sand Man]

2 dead, 10 wounded on the Gov't side. Where's the rebel's body count?

from a FB post...

Smoke screen ni sa pork barrel scam. Ugma man ta to ang arraignment ni napoles ug ni kalit man ka postpone to 23 unya human kani dayun nahitabo. Ka duda2x.

Really dont give a f**k bout this being connected to the pork barrel scam, dili ka makahuna huna anang mga butanga kung isa ka sa mga naapil sa gubot sulod sa Zambo! Ang una ra dyud masulod sa imong utok kay kung ngano wala pa man ni pamatya ning mga mukloa nga wala man ni sila nahimo og nahatag gihapon sa atong nasod sauna pa. Gadala lang ni sila og samok og gahugaw hugaw sa Mindanao. I carpet bombing na unta ning mga animala ni kauban ilang pamilya para mahuman na tanan.

mao, I dont think this has any connection with the pork barrel scam. Or maybe gi take advantage sa mga rebelde nga naka focus ang mga tao sa pork barrel scam nga situation unya gi pasagdaan ang security sa Mindanao. The government should implement military service para at least bisag kanang mga istambay naay matabang in some way to protect the country.

I also don't think smokescreen ni. Kaulaw kaayo ni na development and this will create serious doubts among investors because a major city in Mindanao is under siege from these guys.
