I think the war that happened on Mindanao is brought about by the government, even if there is MOA I think it is just a tactic to subside the forces there, but actually the government knew that some officials in Mindanao would not give in to MOA they plan this,another the war that took place is orchestrated, the Muslim forces just reacted, hmm another reason for them to push through chacha.

There are text messages saying that a Moro Organization gave 4 Billion USD to the Southern Government to make their own country. But unfortunately, it says there that Mr. FG took 40% of it before handing it to the real owners.
Well, this is just one of those rumors. I hate Gloria but I don't think I'm going to believe this speculation.

I hate to hear news like this because it burns me out thinking of my family who might be affected in the long run. But what can we do? the only best thing is the Gloria administration will do something to protect the innocent people and arrest the bad ones who are causing trouble.

I am still Thankful that my family is still so far in the incident happened right now especially in Mindanao which is located in Lanao Del Norte and now in the Lanao Del Sur but whatever place it would be must be the Government have to do something unto it and to the MILF group there are also questionable in there part because they cannot even help unto the same group they are......

I'm with you in prayers. I really can't understand why all of these has to happen. I'm not mad to our Muslim brothers but it's just so frustrating to know that they kill their own blood, the Filipinos. =(

I wish this will end soon! very heartbreaking![/i]

I almost cried when i say the picture of a four year old girl covered in blanket... only her hand was visible... and she was killed by the MILF who attacked her town... that is so uncalled for...
I wonder if the principle they believe in is worth the lives that they are taking... i support the all out war against the MILF... they should be crushed in order for these senseless killings to stop...

Yeah, i have read a little about the war in philippines.. I feel that the war is really unnecessary over a trival thing, and the effects from the war will in the end casue them more losses than what it should have remained :( HOpe that the war will stop soon and the ple will realise their mistakes...

i felt sad with what is happening now in lanao because 2 of my sisters are their in iligan. they worried about their situations. they usually wake up by bullets sounds. my father and some of my siblings are there in pagadian where many muslim rebels live. i am here in davao but i can't sleep thinking of my family who is near to the war area. hope war will end soonest possible.

I hate those MILF rebels and I pray they get killed right away. They are devils I believe because they are killing innocent people, children and adults alike. How the hell can I not say they are not devils. They are satan's demons and I believe they should not be given any chance to live. Excuse me for being so hard on my words but look what they have done. I just hope the military can take quick control of them. I happy that you are safe in your place and I just wish the people from the affected areas will also be secured and no more attacks follow.
