MOA-AD - Bangsamoro Land
I just want to share my point of view on your discussions about the MOA-AD since I found it not just very interesting but a "must" be discuss topic since it concerns significantly not just our lives and our family's lives but to all Non-Muslim Communities in Mindanao.
If I am not mistaken, in 2001 a "Plebiscite" took place in Mindanao and South Cotabato had participated on that event and voted "NO" to ARMM inclusion.
Presently, VGov. Manny Pinol of N.Cotabato intensely opposed to this MOA_AD and so with Mayor Lawrence Cruz of Iligan City together with many other incumbent officials in the region. Demonstrations and rallies have been done in the places of Zamboanga and Iligan City and not to mention the rest showing their contradictions to this agreement.
We all know the conflict between Israel and Palestine. And it all began when the Israelites made a deal with Palestines. The wannabe scenario in Mindanao will not be far as in Israel if this agreement comes to implementation.(Sample lang po..)
The following is an excerpt from an article stating the reason of declaring Martial Law during the Marcos administration that states (glance lang po), " In 1969, Marcos sought and won an unprecedented second term against Liberal Party Senator Sergio Osmeña, Jr. However, he was unable to reduce massive government corruption or to create economic growth proportional to population growth. The Communist Party of the Philippines formed the New Peoples Army while the Moro National Liberation Front fought for an independent Mindanao. These events, together with student protests and labour strikes were later used as justification for the imposition of martial law." which is the real scenario in the present times. This agreement will fuel-up war in Mindanao thus generating GMA a reason to declare Martial Law.
We are all familiar with all the diversion tactics of GMA when she is in the middle of controversy, e.g., The hello Garcie Scandal, The ZTE Broadband Deal, etc..(in which the latter was swathed by the Rice Shortage Scenario) in which all of which had gone into oblivion and the sacrifice of those people who made the noise for the nations' awareness and benefit have gone for nothing.
Let us not be "OOF – Out Of Focus" of the true agenda of GMA. I believe, you don't want to be under another Marcos again. I might not be present during those times, but I knew the difficulties and hardship of those people who were present (galing yan sa mga kwento ng mga matatanda pati na ang mga namatay na lolo at Lola ko ha..).
And bacause I am also from Mindanao where most of us grown and settled down. Therefore, I am strongly voting for "NO" to ARMM inclusion and "NO" to MOA-AD signing.
so kayo...what's you view about this... NO TO MOA or YES?
