Why BBL must be rejected: 1) It heavily favors Malaysia-backed terror group Moro Islamic Liberation Front and ignores the rights of Lumads, Christians, MNLF and other Muslim groups that do not want to be governed by Moro Islamic Liberation Front. 2) Under the BBL agreement, the Philippine government will give Bangsamoro P26 billion in six years of block payments, yet the PNP, COA, CHR, Comelec and Civil Service will not have authority in Bangsamoro. 3) Bangsamoro can annex any nearby province with a simple petition of 10 percent of the inhabitants of the area.

Never give up Mindanao! Don't give Mindanao away! Despite numerous treaties of peace, accord or what kind in the past, we need not bow to the dreams, aspirations, and wishes of our elite Muslim brothers influenced by other powerful Islamic countries. We need to assimilate our Muslim brothers to our present way of life, democratic system of government, rules of law, and respect of human rights. We need to develop Mindanao - inflow of investment, job opportunities, migration of Christians to the South, etc.

The main goal: Vast success or total failure but it seems that the Moro Islamic Liberation Front camp is following their own protocols or procedures in their submission of the Mamasapano Report (90% complete?) but then, only to submit it to the Malaysian representatives or to a favored 3rd party. Why & under whose authority are the Moro Islamic Liberation Front subscribing to? Likewise, why is Iqbal using an alias & under whose authority are the Moro Islamic Liberation Front subject to. Our govt panel or the Malaysian? It's odd & for all we know we might be receiving a water-down version or a generic report favorable only to the Muslim brothers (or are they still Filipinos or actual Malaysians in disguise) Let's wake up. It's either they deal directly with our govt & nobody else. There must be no middle ground. Take it or quit.

It took Catholic Spain 700 years to expel ISLAM from the Iberian Peninsula. The Catholic Philippines has been at war on and off for almost 200 years with ISLAM in Mindanao so we have at least 500 more years to expel ISLAM from Mindanao and drive them off to Malaysia!

[Someone]: The fear that if BBL if not approved by Congress the country would be denied access to crude oil produced from the Middle East is pure nonsense. This peace agreement is not an instrument against Islam.

Everyone has to understand that Christians from Luzon and Visayas populated Mindanao. Vast tract of lands ended up being owned by Christians. In the process, Muslims got marginalized. They don't send their children to public schools but to private schools or Madrasah. These children ended more ignorant than ever with no employable skills. The Muslim women we see in Virra Mall in Greenhills or elsewhere in Luzon are the Maranaos. The chosen political leaders of the Muslims in Mindanao did not help improve their lives. They were more corrupt than their Christian counterparts. Just look at the Ampatuans and Mismuari.

In Christianity, there are conflicting beliefs between the Catholics and Conservative Protestants. Why do you think the Pilgrims of Mayflower were Protestants? Because Protestants thought they were being persecuted by Catholics and the Monarchy (the Church is more powerful than the government represented by the Monarchy), that's why they insist the Separation of Church/Religion and the Government in the U.S. Constitution. But they don't kill flagrantly each other. Whereas in Islam, the 2 Branches (Shiite and Sunni) which you can be sure represented in the Bangsamoro population in RP, can not be at peace with each other because their separation is so extreme, therefore there will be no peace the BBL will achieve. First, eliminate each other Sunni or Shiite then next RP.

Someone said -"There will never be lasting peace with ISLAM! Read the Koran death to the unbelievers, idolaters, blasphemers, apostasy and all enemies of Islam!"-- Oh well- they are just now catching up with the Christians and the Holy Inquisition!

BTW, for what this explanation is worth, in my previous entry I included Filipinos as occupier it is because Moro Islamic Liberation Front, BIFF may be considering it, too. Check this out: If this knowledge which I learned from the Muslims themselves when I was a child, still holds true until today that "they (Philippine Muslims) are not Filipinos" indeed there will be no peace with BBL. There will always be war between Filipinos vs Muslims as long as Filipinos (you occupiers!) are still in Mindanao! BTW, how I come to know that Muslims claimed they are not Filipinos? When I was in 3rd grade our school was next to a Mosque. I noticed they were flying the crescent moon and star emblem not the PH flag, so I asked. Their answer was "dili man kami Pilipino".

You bet! there will be no lasting peace with BBL. There is no guarantee that the respective branches of Islam in PH (Shiite and Sunni) will not purge each other. Then the original aim, LIBERATION, is next. In Moro Islamic Liberation Front, "L" stands for Liberation, in BIFF, 1st "F" stands for Freedom. Liberation, Freedom from what, where? The obviousity should have been obvious to moderate Muslims and non-Muslims (Christians, Jews, Buddhist etc.). The Moro Islamic Liberation Front and BIFF want to "liberate" parts if not all of Mindanao which they considered ancestral homeland "occupied" by Spaniards then Americans then Filipinos. So the Muslims will not rest in glory with the BBL until Mindanao or part of it is "liberated".

Lighter side of life- Bruno was a murderous kumag. Finally he was caught, tried and sentenced to death by electrocution (electric chair). Being wais, he started practicing because he heard that if one survived by first try he will be freed. He started with 1000 volt up to 100,000 volt and survived it in his practice. For the meantime, the Supreme Court of Pinas declared electrocution as a cruel and unusual punishment therefore unconstitutional. But the justice department (after attempted cashunduan of Kumag) is bent to carry the death sentence. So on the day of execution, the Court announced to Bruno: "Bruno you have to die but instead of electrocution, you will be executed by drowning".

Jejomar Binay, the Godfather of Kickbacks, said he was flying to Indonesia to plead for the life of the Filipina who was due to be executed for running drugs. Who's this guy kidding? He is going to Indonesia to look for some properties to buy! He is probably thinking of moving his Hacienda there. Imagine a big time thief like this jetting all over the world with impunity and using Filipinos as excuses.

The problem with uneducated illiterates like [someone] is that they get easily intimidated by educated, well spoken people. These illiterates have a very limited vocabulary & when they try to put their thoughts in writing they only make themselves look atrocious. This is the one problem the PIMP is finding hard to deal with. How NOT to feel inferior to educated Filipinos. Try as he might no amount of denigration or insult could put the Filipino down. The filipino would always come out superior to him. His limited mind just does not get it. He is uneducated. Therefore, he is inferior.

Ang Pilipinas ay para ng ginigisa sa sariling mantika. Pinayaman ng mga Pilipino ang mga Instik tapos ngayon ang mga tunay na Pilipino ang napapagkaitan sa sariling lupa. Kapag Pilipino ang bibili tutumbasan ng instik ng mas malaking halaga kaya sila ang nakakabili. Marami ang natutuwa pag nagpapatayo ng SM sa mga ibat-ibang lugar pero epekto, yong may mga business na mga pilipino sa malalapit ay humihina na. Sana tigilan na ng ating gobyerno ang pagapprove sa mga kagustuhan ng mga instik ng mga Malls. Baka dumating na ang panahon na sila na nga maghari sa Pilipinas.... gaya na nga ng ginagawa nilang pagangkin sa Spratly. Wala naman na tayong Andres Bonifacio at mga kaanib na pwede silang tagain. kawawang bansa, lulukuban ng mga tsinong tuso.

In the news: "The U.S. Won't Defend PH Against China". Not in the Spratleys anyway. The obviousity is as clear as mud; the territory is not in the land that the U.S. gave it's independence almost 70 years ago. The U.S. does not condone squatting or land-grabbing. But if the armed conflict reaches the mainland PH then that's another story.

Ex SC CJ Reynato Puno made a statement that "Darkness is threatening PHL democracy". He pointed out that the income inequality has worsened with only 100 Families out of 17 Million families dominating the country's political & economic life. I don't know about you but "threatening" is not the word I would use. I think the PHL HAS BEEN STAYING TOTAL DARKNESS for the past 20 years, at least. Every attempt to light a candle is stifled with cynicism & passivity. Maybe the Filipinos should just allow Democracy to die a natural death & experiment with some other form of govt. The trouble with intellectuals like Puno is that they could not see beyond their doctrines & theories. Practicality & reality somehow get lost in the shuffle.

[Someone] posted to PNL that, "He would STOP Posting or have him banned from Posting if he was not telling the truth about his allegations that there was this Japanese who had sex with 12,000 young girls in the PHL". And that he was "WAITING". OK, WAIT NO MORE. A blogger (Marumi Itoh) posted that this whole thing happened IN NAKAGAWA, JAPAN & it did not involve any Filipinos. So there. YOU were caught LYING red handed. If ever I see you post comments in this Forum again then you will just have proven that YOU ARE A BORN LIAR & by nature SHAMELESS. What are you doing in the PHL?

[Someone] said, "From thousands of miles away you run your mouth". My reply: I must be getting to this LOWLIFE. Previously he ignored all replies to him. LISTEN. From now on I will post twice as much as your blogs & ridicule you & expose you for being the UNEDUCATED misfit that you are. The more you badmouth Filipinos the more your will hear from me. And remember YOU WERE CAUGHT LYING. You are no longer supposed to post comments in this Forum.

Sabi ni M. Makiling- " Sana magkaroon na tayo ng Filipino First Policy. Kahit pa sila nag-offer, i-priority Pilipino. Hindi tayo dapat magmukhang pera." LOL!!! Wakanga! Where have you been !!Nagkaroon na tayo ng "Filipino First policy" noong pang kapanahunan ni Garcia--at ang nangyari ay "Filipino first" nga sa katarantaduhan , pang-ngungurakot at pangdadaya sa kaban ng bayan, pagpatakbo sa gubyerno at bilangan sa eleksion ----hanggang ngayon!! Tunay na "Filipino First"-- and foremost!!!!

May nagsabi - "Ang mga Chinese kapag may bibilihing mga lupa, hindi makabili ang Pilipino dahil nagoofer sila ng mas mataas na halaga." LOL!! Ekyus me-- that is free market capitalist enterprise system hija!! Why blame the Chinese for offering a good and high price? You should blame the Filipino sellers for accepting the higher price and not selling to the Filipinos for a lower price!!!

It is foolish on the part of Binay to be invoking the Aguinaldo Doctrine as defense. Here is my take : (1) during Binay's re-election he had acquired tremendous wealth the manner of how this wealth was acquired illegally were never known to them. Had they had known, voters would have have rejected Binay. (2) Binay's guilt was never resolved before his re-election. (3) elections are always bought if the price is right. We could not use the dictum: "voz populi, voz dei" because of voters' ignorance. Sereno was right on. The doctrine is often misused and abused.

This Japanese idiot who claims to have fucked 12,000 girls must be super man with a super pen*s. Do the math we have only 24 hours per day 8 hour is spent sleeping 1 hour is spent defecating. If the claim of this idiot has a semblance of truth he must have an erection more or less 12 hours per day! Solomon had only 8,000 females more or less under his control!

I've been thinking about this China thing and what can we do about it. OK here goes. During this military exercise have one of the Filipino troop let loose a rocket and kill a few Chinese troops. This way the Americans will be involved. China starts shooting back and before you know it BANG. Uncle Sam is knee deep in your sh^t. But it has to be done soon. Only a few days left.

Re: President Binay....Assuming he takes his oath as Pres in 2016, I predict that it wont be long before he is removed by another EDSA type recall/removal of an elected President..Binay is facing right now countless issues of Violation of the Anti Graft Practices Act .RA 3019. With all those pending cases if he is elected Pres. , the SC would apply that Aguinaldo Precedent case where basically what its say is yes he is a crook he violated Anti graft laws but considering his election, he has been pardoned or acquitted by the Voters. There is no longer a black and white definition of a thief..The P.I. would continue to have a poverty problem which would erupt into more unrest and instability. If that doesn't lead to a violent revolution to remove an incumbent, I really don't know what will.
