DON’T PUSH MINDANAO INTO WAR

PUBLIC

Manila politicians particularly the opposition group led by former President and now Manila Mayor Joseph ‘Erap’ Ejercito Estrada pushing for all-out war in Mindanao against the MILF full strong combatants 11-12 thousand members equip with high power armaments and Brigand BIFF renegade group allow back the war strategist when he was then our President in 1988-2001 during his short term President and ousted in a popular revolt second people power of EDSA because, he was charged for malversation of public fund and mismanagement of Malacanang.

All-out war proposal as war strategy is unacceptable solution to resolute resolving the 42 years internal Mindanao conflicts just because of recent Mamapasano misencountered that killed 44 PNP-SAF and wounded others at Sitio Inugug, Barangay Tukanalipao Maguindnao Province. The casualties from MILF –BIAF combatants 18 confirmed dead and wounded others in that pre-dawn encountered. Manila base politicians and some Luzon politicians are so noisy with absurd hated condemnations using invective fluid words in one sided accusation to the enemy of the government. Not minding the implication what they have done for the nation and the regions of Mindanao affected by this conflicts if they push for a total war. They are creating more complicated Mindanao rather than contributing in resolving 4 decades war on the question of Mindanao issue.

Philippine President continue to push Maguindanao incident strengthening and forging enduring peace pack with MILF Says President Aquino in a National Televised address on Wednesday. The President said, both the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front have invested a lot building trust to eventually achieve lasting peace in Mindanao.

The President further said, there are groups or individuals who try to ruin and disrupted the ongoing deliberations of the BANGSAMORO BASIC LAW – BBL in Congress and the mutual trust between the government and MILF, insisting this should not happen.

The President said, “this should not happen, the content of peace process is in the BBL, If this BBL is failed not pass and ratified in due time the whole peace process will be failed, and remained in the status quo”. Source: PNA

Returning to the status quo, he said, would mean continuing injustice, escalation of violence in the region, and more displaced people will be affected. Not only this scenario prospect of investment to Mindanao will also derail and national growth will also be affected. War is costly Philippine should avoid to entrap and engage too much into full blown conflicts.

Addressing the complex issue of conflicts both parties should have honest commitment and seriousness in their documented signed peace agreement and honored by both sides.

Peace process should sustain and must have final conclusion between the government and Moro Islamic Liberation Front. (By. Abs Damahan Anchor of ADLSNTV adlsntv.blogspot.com -  RPN – DXDX AM Radio 693Khz – Gensan)

MINDANAO PEACE EFFORT REMAIN DIM AND ELUSIVE WITHOUT SERIOUSNESS FROM BOTH PARTIES

PUBLIC

The recent Mamasapano misencountered grueling fluid and tedious public opinion in the press/media and social media. Is this peace prospects in Mindanao will still be dimmed and elusive and will go back to square one? Are the GPH and MILF serious in their peace talks? Or just a power play of splinter group of anti-peace rules the same? And/or the spoilers group succeeds in their motives? There are a lot of question would really bothers me upon writing this column articles.

Sad to say we are almost reached the finishing line of the on-going peace process, but the atmosphere of peace remained untamed because of many disturbing factors hamper our peace effort continue to reign from the left, center and right doesn’t contributed to achieve peaceful Mindanao. The bad and the worst of it element of the few conquers and rules the majority who wanted peace to prosper in Mindanao.

Human Coffined of PNP – SAF from Manila lead me to write this articles if 42 years’ war in Mindanao continues unbothered of which have the alienable rights to live and die here as a legitimate citizens of this country. Victim upon victims of our Filipino soldiers and Moro Combatants in gun battles and encounters and civilians hit in crossfires doesn’t reflects in our hearts not minding the painful and agony of the parents, wives and siblings of those victims perished in this kind of unreasonable war of conflicts that almost siphons  our national coffers every war may happened in Mindanao.

Proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) to Congress why we afraid and distrust the proponent??? We should not in fears and mistrust who crafted BBL because this proposed law is within our CONSTITUTION framework secured and protected by the National Laws. The power of the Three Branches of Government such us: The Executive, the Legislative and the Judiciary are still govern the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) like the Organic Law of the ARRM –Acts 9054 expanded ARMM Laws. In all Articles and provisions of BBL has no intension for an Independent States of the Bangsamoro, experts in CONSTITUTION perhaps misconstrued to pre-judge that the BBL is UNCONSTITUTIONAL? Although all human laws are not perfects it needs some revision to correct in the plenary debates in Congress that are contrary affects our CONSTITUTION, but this should not water-down or relay the proceedings in the debates. Congress must ratify and passed it to become a Bangsamoro Laws reminding to the Congressmen and Senators “Self Determination is an alienable rights under the UN Charters” we are covers under that law cannot be deviated or excused from the sanctity of any law that protect the minority rights of the Bangsamoro. Bangsamoro question still infinite tragedy for Mindanawan unless we resolutely resolved by the mighty of pens of the best applied and appropriated law for an inclusive Bangsamoro people”.

Consistent peace in Mindanao would continue prosperity, development and progress of the whole Philippines denying and opposing such best suited and adaptable solution to sustain peace in the region particularly Muslim Provinces or Bangsamoro homeland the whole nation would be affected by these 42 years internal conflicts. We have to prefer peace or to prolong conflicts in the end all of us are the losers and all of us are the victims by merely of distrust and opposing what best and what is right of the decision of Congress with regards to BBL are now in their tables for the passage and ratification by March 2015.

MAMASAPANO MISENCOUNTERED

MAMASAPANO MAGUINDANAO – ADLSNTV – adlsntv.blogspot.com and RPN – DXDX AM Radio 695Khz, GSC(January 27, 2014) The latest body counts of PNP – SAF partial report killed in action 64 and 45 wounded reached us from our field reporter base on North Cotabato. While from the MILF side had not officially submitted their casualties, when we talked by phone with MILF Spokesman Von Alhaq yesterday. According to Alhaq “this is a mis-encountered between the MILF and PNP – SAF at around 4:AM January 25 at Sitio Inugug Barangay Tucanalipao. The target point of attack is Barangay Tucanalipao were two suspects Marwan and Basit Usman allegedly are in the area and focus on the element of of renegade Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF), but PNP –SAF encroaches MILF identified Camp at Sitio Inugug Alhaq said. Alhaq even said in our conversation “there is no coordination with the higher authority of the MILF that why it happens and this is very sad on both sides”. Peace agreement between the MILF and GPH was ignored and violated MILF Spokesman said.

As of yesterday MILF and GPH they are now forming a joint investigation team to conduct the miscoordinated and misencountered operation in Mamasapano Municipality. We had just talk with Vice Chair Gazhali Jaapar of MILF a while ago he said, “The mechanism of the peace agreement and term of reference was violated in the conduct of operation by the PNP-SAF Manila and there was non-coordination through them by the PNP higher authority to MILF Ceasefire Committee and GPH Committee”. Jaafar said, “If this well and properly coordinated to –MILF-BIAF to arrest the allege two members  target of the Al-Qaida suspects Marwan and Basit Usman they could even help the PHP-SAF to arrest them in their area of responsibility” Jaafar said. Casualties from MILF-BIAF they have no exact figures and data yet, we are still waiting for the final submission of list of names of their martyrs from their commanders in the AOR particularly in Mamasapano area.

But in standard operating procedures of the military in their doctrine code of ethics operation like this is confidential and remain secret cannot be divulged to public this should not happened lost lives of both forces. PNP-SAF Manila mis-calculated their target something wrong with their Intelligence network or maybe lapses. Kalungkot sa lahat ng casualties 5 commission officers nadali namatay sa mis-encoutered ito. According PNP-SAF heading the operation there are just passed by the area because there are confident with the legitimate MILF members are friendly forces not their enemy and  they won’t hurt them as the on-going peace process will remain honored and enforced by both parties.

Award Lassana French citizenship and the Legion of Honor for New Hero

PUBLIC

anuary 15 update: The government and the Presidency of the Republic announced that Lassana Bathily will be given French citizenship on Tuesday, January 20. This is a huge victory, a symbol for all those of us who see it as not only a recognition of his bravery but also the values of brotherhood he embodied in saving 15 people. This is a first victory – we must keep campaigning so that Lassana receives the Legion of Honour, an award that honours the most deserving citizens.

Even in the darkness and desolation, there is always somewhere a ray of light. Lassana Bathily, a young Malian Muslim man, has lightened a week that otherwise would have been completely darkened. Lassana Bathily saved lives by hiding customers in the shop’s cold room, while the hostage taker walked into the kosher supermarket in Vincennes, France, this Friday.

“I went to the freezer, I opened the door, and many people came in with me. I told them to calm down, not to make noise” he said on BFMTV. That is how a dozen people escaped almost certain death.

When he got out of the store, police arrested and handcuffed him for 1.5 hours, assuming that this black man was inevitably one of the terrorists. When the police finally realized their mistake, they interrogated him, and he gave them the plan of the store, which has facilitated the police intervention.

The young man of 24 is particularly humble: “I am a Muslim, practicing. I’ve already done my prayers in this store, in the storehouse. And yes, I helped the Jews. We are brothers, he said. This is not a question of Jews, Christians or Muslims, we are all in the same boat” he declared.

This ordinary hero is a role model. An undocumented citizen when he first arrive to France, he was finally welcomed in a Jewish store, and he saved fifteen Jewish people. Fifteen people. Simply.

There are many lessons to be learnt from this story. Stereotyping led the police to lose 1.5 hours in a context where every minute can be decisive. But the story of Lassana is also a great lesson on the benefits of mutual aid and brotherhood, which is the deeper meaning of all true religion.

For all these reasons, we ask the President François Hollande to grant him French citizenship and the Legion of Honor.
