BEWARE OF MASS CHEATING CONSPIRACY
BY AQUINO GOVERNMENT AND COMELEC IN MAY 2016 ELECTION

The Aquino government in conspiracy with the Commission on Election (COMELEC) has now laid out a diabolical design to subvert the political will of the Filipino and Bangsamoro voters in the Philippines.   The conduct of a mass cheating by the Commission on Election in tandem with the Aquino government has been revealed to Chairman Prof. Nur Misuari of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) by concerned Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) based in the Middle East. The OFWs have pleaded not to mention their names for security reason. The April 2016 OFW letter to the MNLF Chairman read: “Dear Sir, Please hide my real name for security purpose. But I...

 – MNLF VICE-CHAIRMAN OLAMIT

DID Mamasapano INVASION UNDERMINE CAB/BBL? After the Mamasapano invasion that contributed to the rough sailing of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) in both Houses of Philippine Congress, the brain of the Mamasapano debacle no less than President Benigno S. Aquino III has again embarked on designing another diabolical sinister conspiracy. Using the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace Process (OPAPP) and the OPAPP-created-and-financed MNLF “mascot” conspirators, like Muslimen Sema, Randolph Parcasio, Jose Lorena and cohorts, the Aquino government has launched the conspiracy to fool the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Bangsamoro people and the whole of humanity.  (READ FULL ARTICLE)

“WHEN WILL FILIPINO COLONIZERS END INJUSTICE
 AND GENOCIDE WAR AGAINST THE OPPRESSED
BANGSAMORO PEOPLE?” – REVEREND ABSALOM CERVEZA

The stark injustice committed by the Luzon-based Filipino colonizers against the oppressed tri-people (Muslims, Animist Lumads and Christians) of the Bangsamoro homeland of Mindanao, Sulu and Palawan (MINSUPALA) has surely led to the prolongation of the Filipino-Moro conflict in the war-torn territory. The decades-long colonial genocide war of conquest by the Filipino colonialist land-grabbers today has only duplicated the savagery and wickedness employed by the Spanish, American and Japanese colonizers in the past. The Spanish, American, Japanese and Filipino invaders have similarly used colonization as oppressive weapon to subjugate and to enslave the Bangsamoro people of Mindanao.  (READ FULL ARTICLE)

The similitude in history of MNLF Chairman Prof. Nur Misuari with the known legendary revolutionary leaders, like Nelson Mandela of South Africa and Fidel Castro of Cuba, is surely the substantial and moral element of freedom struggle. While in detention under the oppressive military forces of colonial and neo-colonial government, they can dare express the sentiments of the colonized. Unfazed and principled revolutionaries to the core, not political collaborators who can easily abandon freedom struggle faced with torture and the “spoils of power” offered by colonizers. “…The number one industry in this whole country is corruption.” “War is terrible. It’s a scourge to humanity. It’s like fire, it eats up everything. We fought the Spaniards for 377 years, then the British and the Dutch, the Americans and the Japanese, and then the Filipinos. But who brought the war to Mindanao? Not us.” (READ FULL ARTICLE)

Aquino III to arrest Chairman Nur Misuari of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF). The MNLF Christian leader of Filipino-colonized Mindanao also said that any attempt of the Philippine military forces to arrest Chairman Misuari could be considered “act of war” after his declaration of independence for the Bangsamoro Republik now pending before the United Nations (UN). He further explained that the MNLF petition for complete independence and national self-determination of the Muslim and Animist Lumad natives as well as conscious Christians of Mindanao was already submitted to the UN Committee on Decolonization.   (READ FULL ARTICLE)

The injustice committed by the Philippine government against the colonized Muslim and Animist Lumad natives of Mindanao for decades now has to bother surely the conscience and humanity of the community of nations under the reform-and-peace-conscious United Nations (UN). “When you don’t stand up against injustice, you participate in it,” said Ben Keller. Does this truism speak of the indifference and insensitivity of the United Nations to help solve the nagging Filipino-Moro war in Mindanao imposed by Philippine colonialism? On one hand, is it possible for the United Nations to see the light to be guided by the words of wisdom of Bishop Desmond Tutu? “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” (READ FULL ARTICLE)

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.

In history, the birth of Philippine colonialism is credited to the Spanish, American and Japanese colonizers, who took turns within the period of more than three 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 over the Muslim and Highlander natives of Mindanao for more than six decades now.

 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!
