1) Is it true that the MNLF set the houses

from putting out the fire because of MNLF
snipers? I heard claims on the contrary.
2) Is it true that the MNLF has high-powered
firearms that include 90 RR? Mar says these,
aside from mortars, were among those
recovered by military troops during clearing

BANGSAMORO HISTORICAL NOTES
CALL FOR BANGSAMORO UNITY AND THE CALL
FOR BANGSAMORO MARTYRDOM
Clearly, Allah has taught the believing humanity: "O believers!
Fear Allah as He should be feared and die not but as true
Muslims. All together hold fast to the rope of Allah (Faith of
Islam) and be not divided among yourselves." (Surah 3, Al-'Imran:
102-103)
"Be not like those, who became divided into sects and who
started to argue against each other after clear revelations had
come to them. Those responsible for division and arguments will
be sternly punished." (Surah 3, Al-'Imran: 105)

Truly conscious of Bangsamoro unity, the patriarch of the Moro
freedom struggle against Philippine colonialism, Chairman Prof.
Nur Misuari of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), has
now taken the initiative to unite the Bangsamoro people,
including the freedom fighters and the civilian masses. Barely a
few weeks ago, the MNLF Chairman conducted a personal dialogue
with Chairman Al-Ustaj Amiril Umra Kato of the Bangsamoro
Islamic Freedom Movement (BIFM) in central Mindanao. A new

The injustice most foul committed by

Certainly, an immoral and criminal activity of this

will always end humiliating the colonizers even though using
the majesty of law in legitimizing the crime against an
oppressed humanity.

It is baffling to note that
since day one in 1974, at the heights of the fierce

mediate in achieving peace in the colonized

In
recalling the colonial annexation of the historical
independent Moro Nation (Bangsamoro), from the
beginning since the time President Manuel L. Quezon
of the Philippine Commonwealth in 1935 declared the
'colonization' and 'occupation' of the Bangsamoro
homeland of Mindanao, Sulu and Palawan (MINSUPALA),
it also proclaimed ominously the forthcoming bloody
Filipino-Moro war in the colonized territory.
Clearly, it was pure and simple land-grabbing
strategy.
Motivated by political and economic
greed to presumably 'legalize' the
colonial policy, the early Filipino
politicians under the American-installed
Commonwealth government contrived to
enact a draconian 'law' in the National

In history,
the birth of Philippine colonialism is credited to

hundred years terrorizing, abusing and exploiting
the Muslim and Indigenous peoples of Mindanao, Sulu
and Palawan (MINSUPALA).
As willing and mightily
proud inheritor of the oppressive policy of the
piratical foreign invaders imbued with the
sinister machination to kill and even to
massacre the native inhabitants of MINSUPALA
just to land-grab their ancestral homeland, and
to convert them into colonial slaves, Philippine
colonialism has chartered the same evil scheme

RECLAIMING BANGSAMORO HUMANITY FROM FOREIGN COLONIZERS
|
 |
The Philippine-Bangsamoro war in Mindanao, causing
massive humanitarian disas-ter every time the Moro
freedom fighters and the colonial Philippine military
occupation soldiers engaged in ground widescale mortal
combat, has not perma-nently ended to date. This is
despite the efforts of the stakeholders to achieve
peace.
Why?
Is this due basically to the insensitivity and
indifference of foreign cons-pirators, like Spain,
America and Japan...

Open Letter to US President Barack Obama

Dear President Barrack Obama,
The United States of America (USA) under your leadership
are so proud of declaring to humanity that Human Rights
are of paramount importance to American idealism and
history. But this is not true to the sad case of the
Bangsamoro people of Mindanao under Philippine
colonialism for a quite number of decades now. The
injustice most foul committed by America against the
oppressed...

MNLF-MILF CONVERGENCE
DIALOGUE: PART II
|
 |
The unity-conscious
members of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF and
the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) pursued again
the 'discussion on convergence of views and actions' in
another meeting on June 30, this year, at the Waterfront
Hotel, Davao City. The Bangsamoro colleagues-in-struggle
came all the way from the different areas of
Filipino-occupied Mindanao and some from Luzon to attend
the MNLF-MILF convergence dialogue. The conference was
originally scheduled to be held in Marawi City, Lanao
Sur, but was shifted to Davao due to lack of
accommodation in the purportedly venue meeting.

MNLF-MILF CONVERGENCE
DIALOGUE ON UNITY
|
 |
The Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) called for
the unity of the Bangsamoro people to enable both the
Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and the Moro
Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) to come to terms with
the stark reality that the oppressed Muslim and
Highlander natives of Mindanao must solidify their
freedom struggle as a single and formidable
representative of social change for peace and
development. This too may include the Christian settlers
who have considered the Bangsamoro homeland of Mindanao,
Sulu and Palawan (MINSUPALA) their home. Thus, peaceful
co-existence is of paramount importance for all Mindanao
stakeholders, including the Filipino colonizers in
Luzon.

ANALYSIS ON: "BANGSAMORO STATE GOVERNMENT"
|
 |
After the recent Kuala Lumpur peace talks in April, this
year, between Philippine colonialism and the Moro
Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), a document was signed
embracing "ten (10) decision points on principles",
serving as "general directions of the substantive
negotiations" in order to formulate a political
settlement to the more than four decades Filipino-Moro
war in Mindanao. The MILF-GPH peace talks are separate
political overtures vis-a-vis the MNLF-GRP peace
negotiations undertaken by Philippine colonialism to end
the Mindanao war that started in the 1960s under
Dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos. In 1968, the Moro National
Liberation Front (MNLF) under Chairman Prof. Nur Misuari
launched the freedom struggle of the Bangsamoro people
against the murderous Marcos regime. In 1974, Dictator
Marcos was compelled to seek the mediation...

MNLF 44TH ANNIVERSARY
CELEBRATES
BANGSAMORO FREEDOM DAY
|
 |
From March 18, 1968 today, covering forty four (44)
years, the heinous Jabidah massacre of hundreds
Bangsamoro Tausug youth trainees took place in
Corregidor Island perpetrated by the Armed Forces of the
Philippines (AFP) soldiers. The globally-known day of
infamy also inspired the historical birth of the Moro
National Liberation Front (MNLF) to start launching the
freedom struggle of the oppressed Bangsamoro people of
Mindanao against Philippine colonialism under the
murderous regime of Dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos.
Significantly, March 18 has been annually celebrated
Bangsamoro Freedom Day, marking the official
proclamation of the struggle for independence and
self-determination of the Bangsamoro people under
Philippine colonialism in 1968. (READ

WHY DOES PHILIPPINE
GOVERNMENT NEED MNLF AND
MILF PEACE AGREEMENTS TO END MINDANAO WAR?
|
 |
TWO (2) PEACE AGREEMENTS! WHAT FOR?
It is quite a marvel to note that Philippine colonialism
is still playing its own game of dividing the Muslims and
Highlander natives as well as the Christian settlers of
the Bangsamoro homeland of Mindanao, Sulu and Palawan
(MINSUPALA) to end the Filipino-Moro war. It is strange
that the concept of the Manila government to find a
comprehensive solution to the Mindanao conflict is to
sign two peace accords with the Moro National Liberation
Front (MNLF) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front
(MILF). But is the colonial design workable enough to
bring 'just and lasting' peace to war-torn Mindanao?
WHY THE DELAY TO IMPLEMENT THE GRP-OIC-MNLF PEACE
AGREEMENTS?
Up to date, the
Philippine government has engaged 38 years the MNLF in peace
talks, including signing three (3) peace agreements,
specifically the 1976 Tripoli Peace Agreement, 1987 Jeddah
Peace Accord and the 1996 Jakarta Peace Agreement.

BANGSAMORO HISTORICAL NOTES
MNLF
REVITALIZATION: FROM ORIGINAL
TO UPDATE VISION
Revisiting The Original Vision
It is now written in global
history that the original vision of the founding leaders of
the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) is to regain the
complete freedom of the oppressed Bangsamoro people of
Mindanao from Philippine colonialism through defensive armed
struggle. Since the first dawn of the conception of the Moro
National Liberation Front in the late 1960s as triggered and
inspired by the heinous Jabidah Massacre of March 18, 1968,
the founding MNLF Chairman Prof. Nur Misuari and the first
90 batch Moro trainees consequently always repeatedly
proclaimed their solemn pledge right in the huge Matalam
rock inside their training camp. In unison, they always
pledged passionately and loudly the liberating words of
martyrdom: "In the name of Allah, in the name of our
oppressed people and in the name of our homeland! Victory or
to the Graveyard!
|
 |
Indeed, the
intensity of the cold-blooded massacre in
Corigidor Island of around sixty eight (68)
recruited Muslim trainees from Sulu and
Tawi-Tawi by the Armed Forces of the
Philippines (AFP) officers as sanctioned by
the Marcos regime alarmed and radicalized
the Bangsamoro people. This was compounded
by the succeeding genocidal extermination
depredations against the Muslims by the AFP
and its armed para-military troops in other
areas in mainland Mindanao, particularly in
Cotabato, Lanao, Zamboanga and Bukidnon,
resulting in massive dislocation and wanton
land-grabbing of the lands of the Muslims by
the Christian settlers supported by the
Manila government.(READ

THE 3 MOST CORRUPT PHILIPPINE PRESIDENTS -
According to a survey by Pulse Asia,
Inc. - October, 2007
|
|
Since day one the Filipino colonizers, like Manuel L.
Quezon and gang, learned the art of plundering and
land-grabbing trade from the imperialist American
warlords in 1935, corruption has become a way of life
for the government officials in the Philippines. The
early Filipino politicians up to the present crop have
had educated themselves to believe that corruption pays,
although a moral crime. Thus, nowhere in the world today
can you mention the Filipino nation without relating it
to graft and corruption.

INTRODUCING INJUSTICE AGAINST THE BANGSAMORO PEOPLE
"The time has come when we should systematically
proceed and bring about the colonization and economic
development of Mindanao. A vast and rich territory with its
untapped natural resources is a temptation of enterprising
nations that are looking for their excess population...if,
therefore, we are resolved to conserve Mindanao for
ourselves and posterity, we must bend all our efforts
to occupy and develop it and guard it against avarice and
greed. Its colonization and development will mean increased
national wealth and greater national security...their
provinces and Luzon and Visayas that are already
populated..." (Peter G. Gowing, 1979)(READ

UNDER P-NOY
WATCH: PEACE CALL TURNS TO 'ALL-OUT WAR' AND 'ALL-OUT JUSTICE'
BMNews, Zamboanga City- "It is really strange that
the civilian Philippine government now is beholden to
its military branch," said Prof. Daim Abadi, head of the
Bangsamoro Strategic Research Center (BSRC). "It is like
the Philippines and today's civilian leaders have not
taken off from the ugly vestiges of Martial Law declared
by President/Dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos in 1972 that
ultimately ended when he was bolted out from power in
1996," he further explained.

Does this mean that the newly-created Armed Forces
of 'Pabaon' (AFP) officials can declare an "All-Out War"
anytime of the day even under a popularly-elected
Philippine president? This is apparently the case now
when suddenly All-Out War break loose in Sulu, Basilan
and Zamboanga Sibugay orchestrated by some AFP officials
to prove that they're in control of the situation and
need money fast to sustain any declared war. Also, any
time too, they can always claim and declare "victory."(READ

CHAIRMAN CHALLENGES STATE LEADERS
ON ANTI-KIDNAPPING CAMPAIGN
BMnews, Jolo, Sulu- Chairman Hj. Khaid Adjibon of
the Lupah Sug State Revolutionary Committee (LSSRC) of
the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) has recently
proclaimed the launching of an anti-kidnapping campaign
against the lawless elements in Lupah Sug (Sulu),
including trouble-making groups patronized by the
colonial Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP)
occupation forces in Sulu to create chaos and terrorize
the local populace, particularly the rural civilian
residents.
"The LSSRC-MNLF will not tolerate anymore any unIslamic
activities committed by trouble-makers making Lupah Sug
a haven of kidnappers. Kidnapping is haraam in Islam and
the MNLF is going to conduct a relentless campaign to
eradicate this anti-Islamic activity that has stained
the integrity of the Muslims in Sulu," said Chairman
Adjibon Khaid.(READ

BANGSAMORO HISTORICAL NOTES
BANGSAMORO
UN OBSERVER: FROM OIC FULL MEMBERSHIP
Now comes the
Bangsamoro Question! After the Palestine problem, the
most controversial issue usually discussed in the annual
OIC Islamic Foreign Ministers Conference (ICFM) meetings
is the Filipino-Moro war in Mindanao that until now is
wanting comprehensive solution. Despite the forging of
the 1976 Tripoli Peace Agreement, the 1987 Jeddah Accord
and the 1996 Jakarta Peace Agreement concurred with the
active participation of the OIC, the Bangsamoro Question
remains still a thorny issue in the OIC.
Unresolved. Chaotic. Threatening. Still courting
humanitarian disaster for the colonized Bangsamoro
people under Filipino occupation since the Philippine
Commonwealth regime in 1935.(READ

Philippines-Bangsamoro War in
Mindanao:
Comprehensive Solution? |
|
The comprehensive solution to the
Philippines-Bangsamoro war in Mindanao is still
hanging in suspended animation. The active
stakeholders composed of the Philippine government,
Bangsamoro freedom fighters and the 57-nation
Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) have yet to
reach consensus in solving the social crisis that
has crippled the growth and development not only of
war-ravaged Mindanao, but as well the whole
Philippine nation.

MINDANAO PEACE VISION OF

By: R. Rayhan R.
The tragic demise
of the late Senator Benigno 'Ninoy' Aquino, Jr., thanks
and no thanks to the dreadful Marcos Dictatorship, was
shared by both the Filipino and Bangsamoro masses as a
great loss. While the notorious President/Dictator
Ferdinand Marcos figured in the brutal suppression of
the fundamental human rights of the battered Filipinos
and the genocidal extermination of the Muslims of the
Bangsamoro homeland of Mindanao, Sulu and Palawan
(MINSUPALA), Senator Benigno Aquino, Jr. symbolized a
democratic icon to the Filipino society. He also batted
for the self-determination of the oppressed and
colonized Bangsamoro people based on justice, peace and
freedom. (READ
