BBL will not lead to peace. BBL will lead to war - if not by the MILF-BIFF who actually never let up, or by those who were deliberately left out of the conversation (and they are legion). And you will reap the whirlwind. So, my advice is - don't push it; stop, look and listen; reverse course; change your advisers; and try the inclusive and transparent track. In short, proceed with extreme caution and talk to the right parties because our national security is at stake here.

Tungod ba kay supporter ka ni MIsuari ug cabinet secretary panahon ni Ramos nga maoy pag pirma sa final peace agreement tali sa MNLF ug GRP panel mao na against ka sa BBL? PALPAK kaayo ang inyong ARMM doy mao na pulihan na sa BBL. Ka pabor ani na bill sa mga muslim, giunsa man tawon nimo pn ag analyze.. Mas magkagubot kun dili madayon ang BBL kay dako kaayo na revolutioanary group ang MILF kumpara sa BIFF ug kanang imong grupo sa MNLF oi... ALL out support tawon ang ARmm people ug officials aning BBL sa tinuod lang.
