Kahapon ng umaga, inambus and tropa ng 11th Marine Batallion Landing Team sa Patikul, Sulu. Apat ang namatay at sampu ang nasugatan.
Sabi ni Marine Commandant Ben Dolorfino, mga bandidong Abu Sayyaf daw ang may kagagawan.
Sabi ni Navy Spokesman Edgardo Arevalo, papunta ang mga Marines sa Mt. Bayug sa Talipao ng paputukan sila ng mga armadong grupo. Pagkatapos ng barilan ng mga sampung minuto, umatras na rin ang mga armadong grupo.
Sabi ng isang kaibigan ko: “Dapat lahat na patay ay i-helera sa gate ng Malacañang dahil siya ang ugat ng gulong ito.
Mahirap talaga ang kalagayan ng mga sundalo kasi mahirap nila mapuntirya ang kanila kaaway sa mga inosenteng sibilyan sa kumunidad. Kahit may suspetsa man sila na nakatago ang bandido sa isang lugar, hindi naman nila maa-aring paulanan lang ng bala dahil madamay naman ang mga inosente.
Ang mahirap pa kasi magkakamag-anak ang mga tao sa isang bayan. Ang sabi ng nila doon sa Sulu, Basilan at Maguindanao: Abu sa Lunes, bodyguard ni Mayor sa Martes, MILF sa Miyerkoles, MNLF sa Huwebes, deboto ng mosque sa Biyernes, tambay sa kanto sa Sabado, Lost Command sa Linggo.
Sinabi sa report umabot na raw ng 200 ang patay nitong buwan ng Agosto mula ng magsimuila ang panibagong kaguluhan sa Mindanao dahil sa Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain na pinasok ng pamahalaang Arroyo sa Moro Islamic Liberation Front.
Sa MOA- AD na yun, magkakaroon ng sariling bansa ang mga Muslim sakop hindi lamang ang Autonomous region for Muslim Mindanao kungdi may kasamang mga sobrang 700 na barangay sa North Cotabato, Zamboanga City at Palawan.
Pinigilan ng Supreme Court ang pirmahan na itinakda ng pamahalaang Arroyo at Malaysia sa Kuala Lumpur noong Aug. 5.
Sabi rin ni Atty Adel Tamano, ang presidente ng Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila: “Dapat panagutan ni Presidente Arroyo ang kaguluhang ito na kagagawan ng kanyang ‘memorandum of disagreement.’
Ang kanyang patagong istilo ng pamamahala ang kanyang panloloko sa mga Moros ang ugat ng giyera ngayon sa Mindanao, sabi ni Adel na isang Muslim.
Binebenta na tayo ni Arroyo kung kani-kanino, hindi natin nalalaman dahil tama si Adel, puro lang lahat patago. Paano kasi masama ang ginagawa.
It’s sad…very sad. Instead of fighting against foreign enemy, we see Filipinos killing one another. No one to blame but this Evil Bitch. How many young officers have been killed because of this senseless war?
Today, it has been discovered that those who composed the negotiating panel from the government side were fake. Fake in the sense that they were not really authorized to negotiate. The MILF side was fooled. It was confirmed by no less that the Solicitor General who told the Supreme Court that the government negotiating panel had no authority even if the MOA was signed. Imagine that?
The MILF should head toward Malcanan & fight with the one who got them into this mess; the one who gave them false promises; the one who gave them false hopes. The Filipino people, or even the Christians, did not start this war. Gloria started this war.
Let’s make the CHANGE we can believe in. Oust GLORIA !
” Abu sa Lunes, bodyguard ni Mayor sa Martes, MILF sa Miyerkoles, MNLF sa Huwebes, deboto ng mosque sa Biyernes, tambay sa kanto sa Sabado, Lost Command sa Linggo.”
Tama ka Ellen,ganito din sa Lanao.Sabi ng mga sundalo may mga na take over na sila na mga camp ng mga rebelde pero ang tanong, nasaan nga ba ang mga rebelde?bakit walang nahuhuli eh ilang linggo na rin ang pambobomba nila doon sa amin.Ilang linggo na rin ang gyera bakit hindi nauubusan ng mga bala ang mga rebelde na yan?
minkay, the military claimed the rebels were already gone when they captured the camps. How could it be called “capture” when the rebels voluntarily vacated the places?
BE, heh,heh,heh…I thought of the same thing. How can one say captured when the camp is empty? They captured the “cows” etc and the arms the rebels want to leave behind. anyway, these arms will be resold to them at a later date by the same “sodiers” who found them.
Sayang lang and mga buhay ng mga sundalo at ang civilian. This region had always been a source of “funding” for the administration from international sources( anti-terrorism kuno), electoral cheating and now this latest MoA almost changed the constitution to benefit the whore pandak.
There are so many factions in Mindanao. Couldn’t the local officials, for the sake of peace in the region, band together and start studying the issues of this century old war and come up with local solutions? Why do they wait for the Manila based leaders who do not know anything about the locals except to have their own egenda to exploit these
groups (MILF, MNLF ABUS and the list is endless) and milk the funds for this endless war?
I sense that NO ONE has a genuine solution to this war because everyone has to have “SOMETHING” for themselves in order to put an end to this huge problem. These rebel groups may just be used to leverage on issues that may benefit whoever is more powerful. This can mean nations who are interested in the region for strategic starwars, exploit the rich mineral deposits or simply for political gain as obviously done with the creation of the aborted MoA.
Power goes hand in hand with responsibility. You can’t have one without the other. Even if Aling Gloria is a fake president, she holds the power over everybody. So in the case of Mindanao whatever happens she can not wash her hands and escape responsibility by finger pointing to others. It is her total responsibility. But as everybody knows, she has that propensity of blaming others but herself whenever something bad turns out. She views herself as a portrait of perfection and she believes that she is just too good and infallible to commit mistakes. So just wait and keep guessing where the ax fall this time.
florry, the Evil Bitch never washes her hands…not even her ass.
I believe the soldiers are fighting the wrong enemies of the people. As I see it, the real enemy that causing all the killing and suffering is whore Gloria and incompetent pigs. Instead, the soldiers should turn their guns 180 degree north, toward Malacanang instead.
Why not give all the responsibility to the MNLF. Give the entire country to them. They might have a novel way to run the country. Lets give back to them the nation they knew before Spain spoiled everything. No need to panic becuase the surrounding nations are always interested to get a cut of the country should the MILF abuse their rule.
I meant the MILFs or the Bangsamoro administration.
Ang mga bahay ng civilians ang sinunog ng mga MILF rebels sa Mindanao.Seguro mayroon din silang members sa Manila ..sa Ecahgue…bakit hindi ang Malacanang ang sunugin nila..ang lapit lang ang Aviles sa Echague..puedeng lakarin…
ito ang problema kung masyadong marami ang *armies*.
kung nagkaka-friendly fire paminsaminsan ang PNP na sila-sila lang, o mis-encounter between AFP and PNP… ano pa kaya ang mangyayari kung legalized to rule na ang kung anu-anong mga army dyan?
Anong klaseng kukuti ang mayroon itong mga MILF na magsunog ng bahay ng mga walang malay na civilian.Bakit hindi nila sugurin at sunugin ang kampo ng mga sundalo.Iyan ba ang turo ng Quoran.
Natural lang na magkaroon ng collateral damages sa lihitimong bakbakan.Kung ayaw mamatay ng mga sundalo sa gera ay mag resign sila.Natural lang iyang ambusan at pinag trainingan ng mga military ang ganyang situasion.So what,kung maubos ang isang battalion ng sundalo basta maliberate lang ang Mindanao sa mga pesting mga terrorista at tuluyan silang mapuksa.
Kakaunting sundalo lang ang nalagas ay iiyak na.Hindi dapat iniiyakan ang sundalo kapag madisgrasya sila sa laban dahil iyan ang pinili nilang trabaho.Ang buhay ng sundalo ay nakasalalay sa kanyang opisyal.Kung tanga talaga ang opisyal at lider na namumuno ay madisgrasya sila.
Kung tatangapin lang ako ng military na maging sundalo nila ay mag volunter ako sa laban kung walang urungan,patay kung patay basta’t matapos na itong gulo.
Ay nakalimutan ko pala,mamamatay ka talaga kung papasok ka ng sundalo sa Philippine Armed Forces,nag ja jam ang kanyon at armalite at limitado ang bala pati gasolina ng tanke,pati air support 24 hours bago dumating dahil umiikot pa sa Bikol at Gapan nag sasight seeing ang piloto at co pilot..
Pero bilib ako sa MILF.Wala silang tangke,wala sila assault helicopter,wala sila barko,nagbabalsa lang sila lumipat sa ibang isla ay talo pa rin ang sundalo ng gobyerno.Papano kasi pag nasa barracks ang sundalo ay pinapakintab lang nila ang kanilang baril,walang shooting practice dahil sayang ang bala.Kulang sila sa exercise.Hindi sila nagmamarathon ng 5-10K.Nagdadama lang sila,nag-iinuman ng beer at pulutang manok na natepok sa sabungan at naninigarilyo.Ginisang mongo na hinaluan ng dahon ng malungay at isang latang ligo sa isang kaldero dalampung sundalo ang kakain.Wala silang endurance kaya hindi nila mahabol ang tumatakbong MILF.
Subukan kaya nilang ipadala ang mayayabang na pulis sa Kamaynilaan na nakaamoy lang ng petsa ng alak sa Club lalo na kung may katebol na nakabikini at walang panty ay akala nila sa sarili nila sila na ang pinakamatapang na tao,huwag silang masita at nanunutok ng baril.
Attorney Efren Castro,nasaan ka na? Tagay ka naman dito para masaya tayo.Hehehehe!
Nobody oppresses the Muslims in Mindanao more than their fellow Muslims – the political warlords and the lawless armed groups who are foisting the bogeyman of Christian “colonizers” as the common enemy on a hapless populace they deliberately leave to wallow in ignorance. Look at the Muslims living in Luzon and the Visayas, or even in northeastern and southeastern Mindanao – they are doing well, they practice their faith without prejudice, and they live peacefully with their neighbors.
Ito ngayon ang naisip ng gobyerno para raw mapuksa ang mga MILF.Sabagay nabangit nga pala ni Arroyo sa kanyang SONA na mura na raw ng 50 centavos ang text.Aarmasan daw ng text ang mga civilian na naaapektuhan ng geyera sa Mindanao.I text raw sa mga kapit bahay”wer-r-u na”–“run-na-my hapon” para raw maraming buhay ang maliligatas.Ang tanong.Papano na ang mga walang load.
Sana sa halip na text,mas maganda sana kung pagkain at education ang ibigay sa kanila.
I saw the pictures of the Ilaga group in GMA news..To hear them talk of how they would fight gave me the creeps..They are from Panay Island and now are farmers settled in Mindanao..I am from Antique, and I would not be surprised if there are Antiquenos in the group..ibang klase pala silang lumaban…Piss to Gloria!
Hirap talaga lumaban ang mga sundalo lalo na wala silang respeto sa peke na komander in thief at ang mataas nilang opisyales na gaya ni Allaga na nasangkot sa hello garci. Bakit nga ba sila magpapakamatay para lang manatili sa puwesto itong komander in thief nila. Tatangalin pa yun housing budget nila para lang malaki ang mabulsa nila sa ZTE. Aba marami nang Marines and namamtay sa ilalim ng direkyon ni allaga. Hindi pa ipadala sa Spratley Island yan.
Tamano for President!
Jake, maraming magagalit sa iyo niyan … gaya nila Villar, Escudero, Legarda, Roxas.
Oks si Tamano o di kaya si Lacson. Pero yong apat na binanggit ko sa una ay puros walang kuwenta. Pag isa sa kanila ang manalo sigurado ko …. kurap din.
Puwede na sigurong kumbinasyon etong si Lacson at Tamano para Presidente at Bise Presidente.
The government especially our president should be transparent in all its plans and negotiations so as not to harm the innocent people.
Magulo sa Mindanao dahil kay Gloria. Dapat and baril at kanyon ng army ay sa Malakanyang nakatutok, hindi sa mga kampong walang tao. Sayang ang bala. Dapat pera ni Gloria ang ginagamit sa pagpapakain sa mga refugees. Dapat siya ang magturo sa mga estudiyanteng hindi makapasok. Pero ano ang ituturo niya? Pandaraya!
Tagairaya,
The wars in the south that I know of started with land disputes. One smart aleck in congress started titling lands including town plazas.His titling machine included his own henchmen at the Bulands. He sent his people to harvest the copra and of course the relatives who owned shot at the harvesters. Of course the congressmen reported the outlaws are harming his constituents. The govt sent the first marine war contingent but were massacred at Seit. Why? The marines made love to the lasses near camp. That infuriated high command so they sent in more expeditionary forces. So the war is a continuing exercise and the locals change in many colors. To learn of the stories, one must be there. There are two kinds of people there. The losing party becomes the outlaws.
Anong transparency? Puro sekreto ang deal para hindi sila mabuko sa malaking tongpats. Ito’y sakop ng executive privilege. Abusado at busabos ang rehimeng Arroyo kaya nag-dudusa ang ang taumbayan.
Laging patago, baka beninta na kaming mga taga Mindanao ni Padkakikak sa mga Moro,kaya gonnon nalang din ang pag-asa nilang mapapasakanila ang Mindanao.
Juice ko day!!! ayaw kong isipin….. garcie…..garcieeee.
Matindi talaga ang puekeng gobyerno natin. Dati sabi nila baka isinanla na ni Marcos ang Mindanao eto pala si Glorya ay ibinebenta na. Siga talaga.
Balita ay tata-asan daw ng sahod si Glorya ng suweldo 100%. At hindi lang siya pati na yang mga Tongressman at mga Senatong. Siguro dahil mahina ngayon ang kita sa tong-pats.
Breaking news (off topic):
Italy to pay $5 billion to Libya for colonial rule
Source: Associated Press
In return, the European nation wants crackdown on illegal migrants
BENGHAZI, LIBYA — Italy agreed Saturday to pay Libya $5 billion as compensation for its 30-year occupation of the country, which ended in 1943.
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi signed a memorandum pledging a $5 billion compensation package involving construction projects, student grants and pensions for Libyan soldiers who served with Italy during World War II.
“It is a material and emotional recognition of the mistakes that our country has done to yours during the colonial era,” Berlusconi told reporters at the airport on his arrival.
In return, Italy wants Libya to crack down on the thousands of illegal migrants smuggled to Italian shores. Libya largely hasn’t delivered on pledges over the last few years to eliminate the problem.
Rome is also keen on increasing its already long-consolidated energy ties with Tripoli. Libya is a big supplier of natural gas and oil to Italy.

Well, well… does this mean that the Philippines can claim compensation from both Spain and the US for colonial rule? Hmmm…
Mga Katoto: Tama itong sinasabi ni Adel Tamano na itong Gloria Arroyo ang dapat managot sa kaguluhan ngayon sa Mindanao. Isipin niyo lang mga kasama pati na ikaw Atty. Efren Castro, na kung hindi sa kapalpakan ng MOA hindi sana naghuramentado itong mga MILF commanders na sina Bravo at Kato. In my understanding of the MOA, sabi ni Solgen Agnes Devanadera, ni hindi raw ito nabasa ng inutil na boss niya. For the first time in my life, abogado ng gobyerno, nagkalat sa pagdedepensa niya sa position ng amo niya sa harap ng mga kaalyado nilang Supreme Court pero hindi maitago ni Agnes na wala talaga siya lusot kungdi ang magsinungaling ng line of reasoning dahil nandodoon sina Mar Roxas, Frank Drilon, etc. na gulat na gulat sa kanyang sinasabi. Itong si Devanadera ay hindi dapat maging Solgen, sa totoo lang. Typical siya sa mga tauhan na hinirang ni Arroyo not on merits but on kapit. She is a shame to this administration! Ang mga Solgen na dati kong hinahangaan katulad ni Estelito Mendoza at Frank Chavez ay may kanya- kanyang istilo sa pag dedepensa, matalino, at very entertaining. Si Agnes, tapipi at lagi nakangisi na parang hindi sigurado sa kanyang sasabihin. Moreover, did you hear what she said on tv? …”gusto ko na umuwi na…” -Shame on you, Agnes!!!
Nabasa ko sa Abante Tonight, that Gloria was elected? voted? chosen? as #41 in the list of Most Powerful Woman in the world ng Forbes Magazine. Powerful nga seguro kasi marami ang namatay sa war sa Mindanao at iba bang dahilan..like hunger, health reasons, etc. powerful nga seguro kasi hawak niya ang military, karamihan sa mga justices na naappoint niya..powerful nga seguro kasi hawak niya ang mga cabinet members na gaya ni Neri..kung ito nga ang basis na ang isang tao ay powerful..dapat #1 siya..malaki seguro ang bayad sa advertisement sa Forbes ..
Calling the businessmen of Makati and the rest of the country..do you agree? ang mga gaya lang ninyo ang maka afford bumili at mag subscribe sa Forbes..at kayo lang ang nakatira sa Forbes Park..kaming mahihirap ang alam naming Forbes..ay yon kalye sa bandang UST. iba na nga ang mayayaman no wonder maraming corrupt at yumaman na government officials..Nakakalungkot tunay!
Tataasan ang sahod nila? hindi ba nakuha na nila ang pera ng bayan? saan siya kukuha ng pera? kaya ba siya pupunta sa America? kaya ba siya humingi ng tulong kay Blair? could this be one of the reasons why..the fiasco of Meralco vs. GSIS? at ang pagappoint kay Neri to head private sector social security ? matindi talaga ang greed,,,

JDV’s son Joey plans to run for Congress in 2010. If the elder JDV doesn’t testify at the Senate as promised, it might jeopardize the son’s political plan. Hey JDV…what’s stopping you from testifying? Didn’t you promise the people?
Don’t you have balls?
Responsibilidad ni Arroyo? Ano ang pake alam niya sa Pilipinas, pekeng pangulo nga. Ang alam niya ay mandaya, magsinungaling at ubusin ang kaban ng bayan at higit sa lahat magkawatak-watak ang mga Pilipino.
Adebrux, it is hard to say, the Philipiines can claim some sort of compensation from the U. S. government because we have been and still is recieving some sort of “aid” since inception of our socalled commonweath status. However, the occupation of Libya by France and that of the Philippines by Spain runs parallel to each other. There is that possibility but dont hold your breath about it.
For now, I believe, the gesture of France is to say let’s do business together. Libya, Kuwait, Iraq up to Iran has the best oil quality…which means cost of production and refining would cost less and increase the bottom line.
France was one of the worse and cruel colonizers inspite of the fact that after their revolution they adhhered to the doctrines of the humanistic movement.
I still believe up to this time that England with France who dominated the Middle East at the turn of the century erred in dividing the desert lands among bedouins and nomads and assigned who would be their rulers. Israel has to fight for their little space and is still struggling to hold on to it. My openion…..
DAILY TRIBUNE’S HEADLINE NEWS, DECEMBER 23, 2007
Protests were raised yesterday over the government’s plan to hire an American lobby firm to spruce up the image of President Arroyo before institutions in the United States. When asked why the hiring of Covington and Burling LLP would cost the Arroyo government some $50 million for six months, which according to Roxas is expensive, Apostol was evasive saying he doesn’t know anything about it.
A year or so earlier, the Arroyo government was discovered to have engaged an American lobby firm Venable LLP, at a similar cost of $50 million, to primarily raise funds and support for Mrs. Arroyo’s campaign to change the Constitution. The signatory for the country was National Security Adviser Norberto Gonzales, who, when summoned by the Senate to explain why US funding was being sought for Charter change in the country, a business solely of the Filipinos,the NSA refused to divulge the terms and conditions, as well as scope of the Venable Lobby contract. The details of the Venable contract were never made public by Malacañang, although it was pressured to rescind the contract. It was not publicly known whether the Philippine government had to pay $50 million to Venable despite the cancellation of the contract.
etcetera, every mess whether political or economic, Uncle Sam’s hand is on it. Filipinos must now wake up and immediately stop this Arroyo-US conspiracy before it’s too late. We just don’t learn from history…
bitchevil, who is that Uncle Sam? Are you referring to the American people as the Uncle Sam? Are you referring to the US government as the Uncle Sam? Who is really the Uncle Sam?
Below, I provided a link which has a bearing on US Policy in Minsupala (Mindanao, Sulu, Palawan).

This Forbes Magazine’s annual listings between world’s richest and powerful women are very inconsistent. Why? To be in the list of world richest people in the world, this Forbes Magazine have to do research about the individual’s sources of wealth. If Forbes Magazine found out that the sources of income is from illegal means, i.e. drug dealings and smuggling, that person is automatically disqualified from the list. That should also applies to the list of powerful women in the world. Why? This bansot came to power illegally by coup d’etat and stolen the presidency of FPJ in 2004. That bansot should be disqualified on the list of powerful women.
