and what you gonna do to the military? Imagine they can't patrol a specific area because it is under MILF territory? WTF? MILF is under our Republic and not above it. We're just giving them too much liberty. IMHO.

Ang MILF man gud recognize mana sila sa OIC ang ilaha demand which is naa pud legal ground ang kanang gi ingon nga Ancestral Domain that is why naa silay kaugalingon nga Armed Forces ... and also being recognized by GRP ...

Ang temporary solution gibuhat ani is Autonomy pero dili gihapon sila contento kay gusto nila a separate country.

So the Only lasting solution of the problem is WAR ......

ang c-130 kargahanan nlng tawn sa mga nangamatay..

kargahan sad xa mga troops whether a conventional one or a spec ops...if they have to mobilize a regiment that is where there problems craps up...sometimes they have to rent a commercial ferry ship. looy lagi kaayo atoh armed forces dli angayan tawagon a modern armed forces in a 21st century.

peace talks are more complicated than you think. and not engaging in one is more detrimental than you could ever imagine.

consider the consequences of an all-out war such as that which Erap did against the MILF.

• big chunk of our country's financial resources was poured into the war that did not give any definite results.
  
• the humanitarian crisis of communities displaced by the war is enormous.
  
• the political patronage system was reinforced to battle against the rebels, placing power in the hands of political clans such as the Ampatuans.
  
• the MILF was never fully destroyed.

the peace process is one avenue to reconcile both parties' differences. compromised is reached usually with one party instituting much needed reforms (GRP) while the other lays down their arms (MILF).

we have to understand that the peace process is only one of the avenues that are being considered, along with armed insurgency, to lay in place the reforms that are being asked for. which of these avenues is given more priority depends on each side's perception of the other's willingness to fulfill its side of the bargain.

this to ponder:

• is GRP serious about the reforms that the MILF is asking? what steps are being done in Congress to talk about these reforms?
• if GRP is serious about the peace process, why are there military operations in the area?
  
• if the MILF is serious about talking peace, why can it not control its ranks, and why do we hear of rogue commanders?
• why can't the MILF officially distance itself from the Abu Sayyaf?

ug dili mo mosugot ug gubat ihatag nalang nang Mindanao sa muslim anyway legitimate mana ilaha demand ...

walay lasting solution anang problema sa mindanao unless one will gaveup ... example ang demand sa government nga ihatag nila is autonomy ... and demand gipangayo sa MILF is a separate country ...
