CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOP ENDORSES
TERRORIST FACTIONS AND A TERRORIST SUB-STATE RUN UNDER SHARIAH LAW
Catholic Archbishop Orlando Beltrán Quevedo Endorses a
“Peace-Process” That Involves A Known
Terrorist Faction and By The Same, Is Endorsing A Terrorist Sub-State by
Way Of The Unlawful & Unconstitutional BBL-Bangsamoro Basic Law Which
Violates Sovereignty Of State and A Terrorist Sub-State Run By A Known
Terrorist Organization, The M.I.L.F.
“One Can Not Endorse A
“Peace Process” That Involves A Known Terrorist Organization and Which Violates
Constitutional Law As Well As Violates The Basic Sovereignty Of State, Without
Endorsing The Terrorist Faction Itself”…
Orlando Beltrán Quevedo (born 11
March 1939) is a Filipino Cardinal and the current Archbishop of Cotabato. On
January 12, 2014, Pope Francis named him as one of 19 new cardinals of the
Catholic Church. He was created a cardinal in the consistory of February 22,
2014.
*A ‘FaceBook’ post by ‘C N A-
Catholic News Agency’ states “Cardinal Orlando Beltran Quevedo, O.M.I., the
newest cardinal from the Philippines, is a dedicated servant of the poor who
has advocated for peace between Christians and Muslims in the country”. If we
click the link that leads to the website of the C N A, we can go on to read
about Cardinal Orlando Beltrán Quevedo and the
‘Peace-Process’ that he advocates is really about the ‘Dangerous,
Unlawful and Unconstitutional BBL- Bangsamoro Basic law.
In an influential 2003 paper, the
Cardinal said that….. “the root cause of the Moro Muslim insurgency was
“injustice” toward the Moro people’s identity,…. their political sovereignty,
and their “integral development.” He examined the……… ‘mistreatment’ of the Moro
people and historic tensions with Spanish and American colonialism and with
Filipino Christians, but to me and many others this is a joke and far from the
truth. These are the all so common “Phrases and Terms” that’s used by the
Corrupt Yellow Aquino Administration and the BBL supporters in which a vast
majority were in favor simply because they were also in favor of President
Aquino and in the “yellow propaganda” to push the enactment of the BBL. Lets
make note, that NOT ONLY Christians are opposed to the BBL… but There are many
Muslims also against the BBL, and in fact there were reports of 70,000 +/- tribe
members from the mountains and flat lands both Muslim and Christian who would
be ready to fight the MILF together if the BBL was passed.
In full ‘Manipulation Of The Facts’, The Cardinal portrays the situation
as being an “injustice” for Muslims- However this is not actually the truth and
the Cardinal knows this and the true history stated below will show why.... it
deals with more than just ordinary Muslims, we are talking about a Radical
Islamic Terrorist Group to control a region of the Philippines that also has
approx. 1 Trillion dollars worth of natural resources, which I wont get into
because I don’t want to give a false speculation as to WHO would benefit from
that!! But however Many many Muslims are
satisfied with the current ARMM treaty in that region of the Philippines. Quite
simply Cardinal- One should never give in to a Terrorist Faction period!
One may ask…. What in the world is
the Cardinal talking about when he says “the root cause of the Moro Muslim
insurgency was…. “injustice” toward the Moro people’s identity,…. their
political sovereignty, and their “integral development.” And what about the so
called “mistreatment”??? - I believe
that the Cardinal is referring to the beginning peoples who came to and
inhabited the island of whats today called Mindanao, OR the agreement as
mentioned herein below as it states:
In 1976, Libyan leader Muammar
Gaddafi brokered a negotiation between the Philippine government and MNLF
Leader Nur Misuari which led to the signing of the MNLF-GRPH Tripoli Agreement
of 1976 wherein the MNLF accepted the Philippine government's offer of
semi-autonomy of the regions in dispute, which is NOT really theirs to begin
with, they just want the land!
The signing of this agreement
brought about a serious rift in MNLF leadership, leading to the formation of a
breakaway group in 1977 by Hashim Salamat and 57 MNLF officers. The group was
initially known as "The New Leadership". Misuari expelled Salamat in
December 1977, after which Salamat moved his new organization first to Cairo,
Egypt and then, in 1980, to Lahore, Pakistan, where it engaged in diplomatic
activities. This organization was formally established in 1984 as the MILF -
Moro Islamic Liberation Front. Muammar Gaddafi became a longstanding supporter of
the MILF after its emergence.
In January 1987, the MNLF accepted
the Philippine government's offer of semi-autonomy of the regions in dispute,
subsequently leading to the establishment of the Autonomous Region of Muslim
Mindanao- ARMM. The MILF, however, refused to accept this offer and continued
their insurgency operations. A general cessation of hostilities between the
government in Manila and the MILF was signed in July 1997 but this agreement
was abolished in 2000 by the Philippine Army under the administration of
Philippine President Joseph Estrada. In response, the MILF declared a jihad
against the government, its citizens and supporters.
CARDINAL- I ASK YOU THIS!- …. “By What “Injustice” Toward The Moro People’s
Identity,…. Their Political Sovereignty, And Their “Integral Development, And The So Called “Mistreatment Are You
Talking About!... By What Political Means Do They Have Any Right And Authority
To Have Any Political Sovereignty In The Republic Of The Philippines!
Yes it is true that ‘many’ Muslims
inhabited the island for hundreds of years… but lets look at history because as
you can see your claim of injustice falls short of the truth.
Cardinal… lets look at the history a little closer shall we,
and ‘keeping in mind’ that the Corrupted Yellow Aquino Administration share the
same common belief as ‘you’…. that the Republic Of The Philippines and her
people ‘owes’ the moro people some kind
of ‘political sovereignty’, which is FALSE! – The “Moros” have stated they are
NOT even Filipino’s!
The arrival of Ferdinand Magellan in Homonhon, Eastern Samar,
Philippines in 1521 marked the beginning of Spanish colonization. In 1543,
Spanish explorer Ruy López de Villalobos named the archipelago Las Islas
Filipinas in honor of Philip II of Spain. With the arrival of Miguel López de
Legazpi from Mexico City, in 1565, the first Spanish settlement in the
archipelago was established.The Philippines became part of the Spanish Empire
for more than 300 years. This resulted in the predominant religion in the country
being ‘Roman Catholicism’….. and which during this time, Manila became the
western hub of the trans-Pacific Manila–Acapulco galleon trade connecting Asia
with the Americas.
As the 19th century gave way to the 20th, there followed in
quick succession the Philippine Revolution, which spawned the short-lived First
Philippine Republic, and the Philippine–American War. Aside from the period of
Japanese occupation, the United States retained sovereignty over the islands
until 1945. After World War II, the Philippines was recognized as an
independent nation.
Cardinal…. Way way far back in the 1300s, heralded the
arrival and eventual spread of the Islamic religion in the Philippine
archipelago. In 1380, Karim ul' Makdum and Shari'ful Hashem Syed Abu Bakr, an
Arab trader born in Johore, arrived in Sulu from Malacca and established the
Sultanate of Sulu by converting Sulu's rajah and marrying his daughter. At the
end of the 15th century, Shariff Mohammed Kabungsuwan of Johor introduced Islam
in the island of Mindanao. He married Paramisuli, an Iranun princess (A
Dayang-dayang), and established the Sultanate of Maguindanao. The sultanate
form of government extended further into Lanao.
Islam spread out of Mindanao in the south into Luzon in the
north. Manila was Islamized during the reign of Sultan Bolkiah in 1485 to 1521.
This was accomplished because the Bruneian Empire subjugated the Kingdom of
Tondo by converting Rajah Salalila to Islam.
However Cardinal…….that was along time ago, and though States
like the Animist Igorot, Malay Madja-as, Sinified Ma-i, and Indianized Butuan
still maintained their cultures, the rivalries between the datus, rajahs,
huangs, sultans, and lakans eventually eased Spanish colonization. Furthermore
Cardinal, the islands that were sparsely populated due to consistent natural
disasters and inter-kingdom conflicts, and Therefore, the colonization was made
easy and the small states of the archipelago quickly became incorporated into
the Spanish Empire and were ‘Hispanicized and Christianized’.
With all due respect Cardinal….. we are NOT talking about the
1300’s … and NOT talking about 1485 to 1521!... we are talking about NOW.
The fundamentals of the Muslim religion require a homogenous
Islamic government. In the Philippines this would require separation, or at
least total autonomy, which the ARMM provided for and is still in existence and
should stay and NOT be replaced by the BBL, and it actually goes “”beyond””
that because the BBL would not only give power and territory to Muslims and
violate Philippine Sovereignty …. In an unlawful manner, but also governed by a
known terrorist Faction.
There are many Muslims living in America that ‘do not’
require a ‘homogenous Islamic government’ to exist…. You Cardinal know that and
I know that! It is simple and pure…. THE MILF WHO BRANCHED OFF FROM THE MNLF
did something to cause the state problems which led to the ARMM, but were ‘not
satisfied’ with a piece of the pie- they demand the whole… and here is why
Cardinal…..
Cardinal….. there are some things you should know. After
Al-Qaeda, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is posing a serious threat
to Philippine security.
Otherwise known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant,
now recently called by its followers as Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham,
ISIS, thus far, is the most violent extremist jihadist armed group operating
predominantly in Iraq and Syria. But………… ISIS has a delusion to expand its
operations in the Muslim world not only in the Middle East and North Africa but
also in Muslim areas stretching from Europe to Asia.
Cardinal…. Tell the truth to the people that ….The
Philippines is not spared the ISIS threat because it has self-proclaimed followers
among Muslim Filipinos and…. “MOROS” who just performed a Bay-ah or pledge of
allegiance to ISIS founder, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi! On June 29, 2014, Baghdadi proclaimed himself
as the overall leader or a Caliph of a so-called independent ISIS Caliphate.
ISIS followers call this Caliphate as Al-Dawlah Al-Islamiyah Fi Al-Iraq Wa-Al
Sham.
In May 2014, Muslims in the Philippines, who called
themselves part of the Ansar Dawlah Fi Filibbin, posted a video showing men in white dress performing a Bay-ah to
Baghdadi. The May 2014 video was filmed a month before Baghdadi proclaimed an
independent ISIS Caliphate. Titled “FILIPINA SUPPORT FOR ISIS AND BAY-AT TO
SHAIKH ABU BAKAR AL BAGHDADY (HAFIDZAHULLAH),” the video displayed men speaking
in Arabic to express their support for and loyalty to ISIS and its leader
Baghdadi. In the latter part of the video, these men spoke in Filipino,
reiterating their allegiance to ISIS and submission to Baghdadi.
Cardinal…. PLEASE tell the people that……… IN THE PHILIPPINES
YOU HAVE THESE TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS: Abu
Sayyaf Group (ASG), Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF),
Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) And Even The New People’s Army (NPA-
Which President Aquino’s Father Was A Part Of….. And The Alex Boncayao Group (ABG)
And Also Many Drug Syndicates.
Here is another problem- Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) is a
militant Islamist group based in and around Jolo and Basilan in the
Philippines, where for more than four decades, “MORO” groups have been engaged
in an insurgency for an independent province in the country. Since its
inception in 1991, the group has carried out bombings, kidnappings,
assassinations, and extortion in what they describe as their fight for an
independent Islamic province in the Philippines.
Cardinal….. PLEASE tell the people that…….“Abu Sayyaf Seeks The Establishment Of An
Iranian-Style Islamic Theocracy In The Southern Philippines. “ ….What Do You
Think Will Happen If The One Sided Bbl Is Enacted? An All Out War Could Take
Place…. And Innocent Lives To Be Lost.

never let up, or by those who were deliberately left out of the conversation,
as with the NPA, or Abu Sayyaf who have worked hand in hand with the MILF but

Archbishop Orlando Beltrán Quevedo Mindanao Media Forum in Cotabato City on
BBL- Bangsamoro
Basic Law
By Cardinal
Orlando B. Quevedo (Keynote address of Cardinal Orlando B. Quevedo, OMI, at the
media forum “Beyond Mamasapano: Reporting the Bangsamoro Peace Process” on July
24 in Cotabato City)
CARDINAL- A MORAL AND RELIGIOUS
PERSPECTIVE
I speak to you as a religious
pastor. It is my vocation to help the faithful understand and share with others
the Truth of God, the truth of Christ, and the truth of the world.
The truth of God includes the unity
of humankind. We are all one family of God. We are brothers and sisters of one
another. We are a colorful mosaic of rich and variegated religious and cultural
traditions and values. We have significantly different ways of thinking,
praying and acting. We areLumads, Muslims and Christians, and peoples of
other faiths, such as Buddhists, Hindus, and followers of Confucius.
The truth of Christ is that he
became Incarnate, the God who became Man so as to die for the sake of all
humankind. He proclaimed the Gospel of Love, love even of our enemies. From our
respective Sacred Scriptures, Muslims and Christians do have a “Common Word” –
the great commandment of loving God and loving our neighbor.
The truth of this world is that
this earthly home of ours is where we need to work out together as brothers and
sisters our common journey to God’s Reign. It is a Reign of Justice and Peace,
Truth and Love.
It is from this pastoral
perspective that I view the Bangsamoro peace process and the proposed
Bangsamoro Basic Law. The BBL was crafted by Lumads, Christians, and Muslims.
It expresses concretely the result of 17 long years of negotiation.
The peace process and the BBL were
sailing smoothly in unruffled waters until they hit rocks and reefs and
floundered. ---------- [ Let Me Correct You, It Never Was Sailing
Smoothly Cardinal ]- emphasis is mine
CARDINAL- THE PRESENT SOCIAL CONTEXT: A CLIMATE
OF BIAS AND PREJUDICE
The following is an extract, edited
for this occasion, of my privilege speech on 12 July 2015 at the Plenary Assembly
of the Catholic Bishops Conference.
In just one fateful day, the
relatively remote Moro village of Tukanalipao, municipality of Mamasapano,
province of Maguindanao in the Archdiocese of Cotabato, became the symbol of
insincerity and mistrust.
Here 44 members of the Special Action Force of the
National Police died valiantly in an encounter that lasted several hours. The
SAF themselves killed 17 Moro rebels and 4 civilians.
The highest ranking active police
officer involved in the military operation reported at the legislative hearings
that their men gunned down about 250 rebels. Media reported that Moro rebels
massacred the 44 SAF many of whom were shot dead mercilessly even when they
were already wounded and helpless. In subsequent days national media played up
the massacre report and created a climate of anger against Moro rebels. Daily
we saw gruesome pictures of the dead and the grief of SAF widows and families.
At the legislative hearings to
investigate the Mamasapano tragedy, several of our legislators expressed the
biases, prejudices, and mistrust of the Christian majority against Moros in
general and against the BBL in particular.
These biases were sown during the
period of colonization when relationships between Moros and Christians were
characterized by continuing conflict, negative experiences with Moros, the
diversity of religious beliefs and culture. Dormant through many decades and
occasionally rearing its head as in the Ilaga-Barracuda armed conflicts during
Martial Law, bias and prejudice suddenly erupted into the open in the wake of
the Mamasapano tragedy.
On March 20-23, 2015 Social Weather
Stations conducted a post-Mamasapano survey on opinions regarding the BBL. The
results are telling:
The March survey sample consisted
of 78% Catholics, 5% Muslims, 3% INC, and 13% other Christians. Less than 1%
did not give any answer.
Of those surveyed 47% said they
knew only a little of the BBL; 34% said that they knew almost none.
Approval of the proposed BBL was
favorable among those with extensive knowledge about it (4%) and among those
with partial but sufficient knowledge about it (13%).
Disapproval came from among those
with little knowledge (47%) and from among those with no or almost no knowledge
about the BBL (34%). These two groups, a total of 81%, constituted the great
majority of those surveyed.
[ THE TRUTH CARDINAL….Is Approx 83% To 86% Of The Population Is
Against The Enactment Of The Unlawful
And Unconstitutional Bbl And Aware Of What The Bbl Relates To ] emphasis is
mine
One would naturally wonder why
anyone with little or almost no knowledge of the BBL would disapprove of it.
One reason came may be gleaned from the following conversation that I had with
a Catholic religious leader:
I asked him: “Do you support the
BBL?”
“No I don’t support the BBL,” he
answered.
“Have you read the BBL?”
“No.”
“So why don’t you agree with what
you have not read?”
“Ah, basta, I don’t agree.”
[ EWAN!.... ‘I DON’T THINK SO’ – THE
TRUTH IS CARDINAL- That Most Everyone Is Fully Aware Of The Bbl And Its Unlawful Terms And
Conditions And Including Violating Philippine
Sovereignty Which Also Includes Run By A Terrorist Group Which Will
Train Terrorists To Be ‘Policemen For Its Shariah Law ] emphasis is mine
One would logically conclude that
such negative attitude about the BBL is due to bias, prejudice and mistrust, a
mistrust that several of our legislators have expressed in the hearings on the
Mamasapano tragedy.-------------- [ I
Will Fully Disagree With You Cardinal. The Terrorist Organization Milf
Negotiator Mohagher Iqbal Said The Milf Are Not Terrorists, And That The People
Can Trust The Milf. He Says… Trust The Terrorist Milf? First Of All How Could
Anyone Trust Him And His Words Alone If Under Oath He Lied About His Real
Name…. Being Real Name Is “Datucan
Abas”….. This Is The Name That Appeared In Warrants Of Arrest Issued In 2003 In
Connection With The Bombing Of The Davao International Airport (20 Killed, 143
Injured) And The Bombing Of The Davao City Sasa Wharf (17 Killed, 56 Injured).
And What About All The Other Killings And Bombings Including The 44 Saf Since
1984 Cardinal? This Is Why…. People Can Not Trust A Terrorist Group Cardinal
And This Is Why There Is Bias And Prejudice Cardinal. ]
emphasis is mine
I have an educated guess that our
people in the parishes who know little about the BBL get their information from
the media. Unfortunately in the wake of Mamasapano media dished out one-sided
and misleading as well as incorrect information about the BBL.
Here is a sequel to the
conversation I reported above:
“You know, Cardinal, that none of
us is a member of your peace group, the Friends of Peace.”
“Yes, of course, I know. In fact I
did not give you any invitation. By the way I, too, have certain biases and
prejudices about people and individuals. But I have learned not to let such
sentiments influence my judgments. So, are you against the BBL because you are
biased and prejudiced?”
To his credit, he said, “To be
honest, Cardinal, yes.”
[ Yes He Is Against The Bbl? ……..Or Yes He Admits He Is Biased And
Prejudiced??- Oh Come On’…Sounds Like The Common “Aquino Yellow Clan Propaganda
To Me ] emphasis is mine
“Well to those in the same
situation, I can only ask, and I also ask this of myself, what would Jesus say
about your biases and prejudices? Would Jesus approve?”
[ I Ask You Cardinal- Does Jesus Approve Of Terrorist Bombings,
Killings, Beheadings And All Of The Unlawful And Unethical / Immoral Aptitudes
Of Shariah Law? Would Jesus Approve Of Treating Women As Second Class Citizens
And All The Punishments Thereof That Come With Shariah Law? Would Jesus Hang
Gays Upside Down And Drop Them From Buildings? I Don’t Think Jesus Would
Approve Of What You Endorse Cardinal ] emphasis is mine
The Mamasapano tragedy sadly
exposed the deeply entrenched biases and prejudices of the Filipino Christian
majority. Sadder still is to learn that most of those who disapprove the BBL
but know little or almost none about it are Catholics. -----------[ If That Is True (And I Don’t Believe For A
Minute It Is) Then I Will Teach Catholics What They Should Know About The Bbl
] emphasis is mine
CARDINAL- THE MEDIA PRACTITIONER: VOCATION TO TRUTH:
I believe that you, dear media practitioners, have more than a profession. You have a vocation. You are agents for the communication of truth, justice, peace and love. These are the truly human values that serve as the pillars of society. You communicate to others the fundamental values of God’s Reign.
You have the task of helping inform,
educate, and form individuals and our society in accord with those values.
Truth requires fairness, accuracy,
and objectivity. Truth is not served:
- by distorting information, by omitting
essential information or by disregarding context;
- by using misleading and even erroneous
headlines or illustrations;
- by half-truths;
- by not differentiating between advocacy
and news reporting;
- by oversimplifying;
- by misrepresenting fact or context (all
the above are from the Code of Ethics of the Society of Professional Journalists,
Indianapolis, 1996);
- by improper emphasis (see “Journalist’s
Code of Ethics,” Philippine Press Institute and National Press Club;
Nor is truth served:
- by not verifying alleged facts given by a
so-called “reliable source”
- by mixing speculation with verified facts;
Through the years I have often
wondered how two reporters at CBCP press conferences could report the same
event so differently. One veteran journalist explained to me that the two
reporters wrote for 2 different papers with distinct political perspectives: “Meron
angulo na politika.”
[ CARDINAL- DID YOU JUST MENTION “DISTINCT POLITICAL
PERSPECTIVES”?- THE ‘CBCP’!- At The Same
Time That The CBCP Made Comments About The Vice President And How He Should
‘Come-Clean’ (In So Many Words) About His Involvement With Corruption…. At The
Same Time They Never Once Mentioned President Aquino And “”His Greater
Involvement In The Scams And Corruption On His Shoulders””… Be Fair CBCP! ]
emphasis is mine
Most of you here are media people
from Mindanao. More than many others who are Manila-based, you know our
Mindanao situation. You are more familiar with the Maguindanao situation, the
Moro Question, and the various solutions offered to resolve it. May I strongly
suggest that your reports, based on your own personal knowledge, make a
difference on the way Mindanao events are reported at the national level.
[ LET ME TELL YOU
CARDINAL- MY SOLUTION…. Is To Get Any And
All Terrorist Factions Out Of The Philippines Cardinal! We Don’t Give Them
Money Land To Justify Any Means. I, Too Have Been All Over Mindanao! I Know
Tribes From The Mountains… To Politicians In The Offices… And Let Me Tell You
Cardinal Anyone And Most Everyone Is Again, Fully Aware Of The Bbl And All Its
Legalities Thereof--- As A Special Ops Officer Of The U.S. Once Said About The
Terrorists In Mindanao….. “Let Us Go In…. And We Will Clean House! ]
emphasis is mine
CARDINAL- AN OCCASION FOR SELF-EXAMINATION:
In the light of the above observations, some self-examination would be necessary:
In the light of the above observations, some self-examination would be necessary:
- In my media work regarding Mamasapano, did
I share in the biases and prejudices of the public majority?
- Did I help build a climate mistrust and
perhaps of revenge?
- Or fan the flame of anti-Moro prejudice,
by improperly emphasizing SAF casualties while ignoring MILF and civilian
casualties and the grief of their own widows and children?
- Have I read and understood the BBL in such
way that my reportage could correct misinformation about the BBL and
misinterpretation of it?
- How can I do my media work with fairness and objectivity so as to follow my vocation to be an authentic prophet of justice, peace, truth and love?
CARDINAL- CONCLUSION
My own expectations of media
practitioners are very simple. They stem from my own episcopal motto that is
the guide of my life: “Charity rejoices in the truth” (1 Cor. 13:6).
Be true to your vocation as truth
tellers, sharers of truth. Tell the truth. Do it justly and charitably.
[MY REFUTED STATEMENTS]------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe… by having the Cardinal speak
on behalf of the BBL, which let me remind you that MOST backers and defenders
of the unlawful and unconstitutional BBL are on the Corrupt Yellow President
Aquino side… maybe people will be enlightened and support the BBL?- I don’t
think so!
The Cardinal says…..
“Be true to your vocation as truth tellers, sharers of
truth. Tell the truth. Do it justly and charitably.”… OK..SO I WILL!... Watch! Here Is More Truth On The Unlawful
& Unconstitutional Bbl- Bangsamoro Basic Law
MUSLIMS AND THE SO CALLED
“PEACE-PROCESS”-
I have met good Muslims…. And BAD
Muslims.
The problem is just this
Cardinal….. we are NOT talking about ANY KIND of “Peace-Process” with just the
ordinary Muslims in the Philippines… most of which are very nice people! From what I understand, there are an approx.
82% to 86% of Muslims in the world that are considered to be “Moderate Muslims”
and can be very nice people from whom I have met. HOWEVER CARDINAL…. The
balance of that remains at 16% to 18% of
what I would call BAD Muslims. Meaning to say the 16% to 18% are the “Radical
Extremist Muslim Group from which the Terrorists are derived from, and those
are the Muslims who follow the Islamic belief’s to the “T” or to say who follow
the very core foundations of the Islamic teachings…. But you did NOT mention
that as I understand!
Cardinal… you are only sharing into
half of the situation…. I will show and SHARE THE WHOLE!
Lets first talk about the
“Peace-Process” and how it applies to the MILF and the Yellow Aquino
Government. I’m Curious Cardinal ……Why you did’nt mention about how nice and good the “PEACE
NEGOTIATOR- Mr. Mohagher Iqbal, who is also the “Spokesperson for the MILF”.
Actually Cardinal I am NOT curious, because I already know why you didn’t mention him!
Mr. Mohagher Iqbal, under “Oath” in
the BBL hearings “LIED” about his name, about his true identity! In fact, the
DOJ- Department Of Justice De Lima (on the yellow Aquino side) said just let it
pass (in so many words) and to “Just show GOOD FAITH”!!!... simply amazing
isn’t it? Well…. I will tell you why Cardinal… Mr. Mohagher Iqbal real name is
“Datucan Abas”….. This is the name that appeared in warrants of arrest
issued in 2003 in connection with the bombing of the Davao International
Airport (20 killed, 143 injured) and the bombing of the Davao City Sasa wharf
(17 killed, 56 injured). Peoples question is Why was the government hiding the
true identity of this man?.... Sen. Cayetano surmised the “government is just
hiding these facts because they are negotiating peace — with people who were
engaged in bombings”- and he is still walking around free today!
The second concern I would like to talk about
is this. President Aquino says the MILF are not terrorists, and in fact Mr Mohagher Iqbal -
Datucan Abas says the MILF are NOT terrorists.
EVERY PART CARDINAL IN WHOLE….
PLAYS A KEY FACTOR, AND THIS IS WHY-
SO, THE CARDINAL IS ENDORSING THE
“PEACE-PROCESS” AND THE MILF ARE NOT TERRORISTS???..... LETS JUST SEE!
In 1976, Libyan leader Muammar
Gaddafi brokered a negotiation between the Philippine government and MNLF
Leader Nur Misuari which led to the signing of the MNLF-GRPH Tripoli Agreement
of 1976 wherein the MNLF accepted the Philippine government's offer of
semi-autonomy of the regions in dispute, which is NOT really theirs to begin
with, they just want the land!
The signing of this agreement
brought about a serious rift in MNLF leadership, leading to the formation of a
breakaway group in 1977 by Hashim Salamat and 57 MNLF officers. The group was
initially known as "The New Leadership". Misuari expelled Salamat in
December 1977, after which Salamat moved his new organization first to Cairo,
Egypt and then, in 1980, to Lahore, Pakistan, where it engaged in diplomatic
activities. This organization was formally established in 1984 as the MILF -
Moro Islamic Liberation Front. Muammar Gaddafi became a longstanding supporter
of the MILF after its emergence.
In January 1987, the MNLF accepted
the Philippine government's offer of semi-autonomy of the regions in dispute,
subsequently leading to the establishment of the Autonomous Region of Muslim
Mindanao- ARMM. The MILF, however, refused to accept this offer and continued
their insurgency operations. A general cessation of hostilities between the
government in Manila and the MILF was signed in July 1997 but this agreement
was abolished in 2000 by the Philippine Army under the administration of
Philippine President Joseph Estrada. In response, the MILF declared a jihad
against the government, its citizens and supporters. Under President Gloria
Arroyo, the government entered into a cease-fire agreement with the MILF and
resumed peace talks.
Despite peace negotiations and the
cease-fire agreement, the MILF attacked government troops in Maguindanao
resulting in at least twenty-three deaths in January 2005. The combined armies
of the MILF and Abu Sayyaf were involved in days of fighting which necessitated
government troops using heavy artillery to engage rebel forces.
The bombing incident in Davao
Airport in 2003 which the Philippine government blamed on MILF members, raised
speculation that the peace negotiations might be ineffectual in bringing peace
to Mindanao if the MILF is unable to control its operatives. The MILF denies
ties with terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah, although Jemaah Islamiyah is
considered to have provided them with training facilities in areas they
control. The MILF also continues to deny connections with Al-Qaeda, though it
has admitted to sending around 600 volunteers to Al-Qaeda training camps in
Afghanistan and that Osama Bin Laden sent money to the Philippines, though the
group denies directly receiving any payment
From June 28 to July 6, 2006,
conflict between the MILF and armed civilian volunteers under Maguindanao
Province governor Andal Ampatuan who were supported by the Philippine Army had
been reported. The fighting began after governor Ampatuan blamed the MILF for a
June 23 bomb attack on his motorcade, which killed five in his entourage. The
MILF denied responsibility, but Ampatuan sent police and civilian volunteers to
arrest MILF members connected to the attack. Four thousand families were
reported displaced by the fighting that followed, which was ended by a
cease-fire agreement signed on July 10 and 11.
Talks between the MILF and the
government collapsed in 2008 after a Supreme Court decision in Sema vs. COMELEC
which rejected a preliminary accord that would have expanded the Autonomous
Region in Muslim Mindanao-ARMM. In 2011, the MILF withdrew their demands for
independence, ……..instead saying that they would pursue SUBSTATE status,
likened to a U.S. state instead of independence from the Philippines
In March 2007, the Philippine
government offered to recognize the right of self-determination for the Moro
people which it had never done in three decades of conflict. However on July
12, 2007, Islamic militants in Basilan in the southern Philippines killed 14
marines, beheading 11 of them, while 9 other marines were wounded and about 4
fighters were killed. The fighting took place as the marines were searching for
kidnapped Italian priest, Giancarlo Bossi, on June 10, 2007. A MILF SOLDIER
CONFIRMED THAT SOME OF ITS MEMBERS HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN GUN BATTLES, DESPITE
THE MILF PEACE TREATY WITH THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT.
(Mohagher Iqbal-FAKE NAME), the
chief negotiator for the MILF, denied that it was responsible for the
beheadings and the priest's abduction. On July 19, 2007, despite no ransom
being paid, Giancarlo Bossi, who was kidnapped on June 10 in Zamboanga Sibugay
province, was freed. Philippine authorities described his kidnappers as members
of the Abu Sayyaf. Government authorities blamed a renegade commander of the
MILF for Bossi's kidnapping, but it denied any involvement BUT the MILF and Abu
Sayyaf have worked hand in hand before!
According to the provincial
administrator of Basilan in 2007, more than 900 families had been displaced as
a result of the deployment of soldiers in Basilan in response to the beheading
of 11 soldiers of the Philippine Marines who were killed in an encounter with
MILF in Al-Barkah town. While the MILF acknowledged their responsibility for
the death of the 14 soldiers of the Philippine Marines, they described this as
a consequence of the trespassing in their territory in Basilan, HOWEVER Basilan
is on the Island Of Mindanao, which IS the State Territory Of The Republic Of
The Philippines! In previous agreements, the two groups have negotiated about
respecting MILF camps and presence to avoid conflicts in these areas, an
agreement that is prone to violation.
MAY GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES OF ALL
WHO DIED TO GIVE THEM STRENGTH AND PEACE… AND TO THOSE FALLEN 44 SAF MEMBERS
WHO WERE KILLED.
After… the so called “PEACE
PROCESS” had started Cardinal, again MILF were involved in the Killings of the
44 SAF. The 44 Members of Philippines National Police Elite Special Action
Force (PNP-SAF), were killed in a clash with members of Moro Islamic Liberation
Front (MILF) and Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF), a break-away group
from MILF, on Sunday January 25, 2015. Also, 18 Members of the MILF, 5 civilian
including an eight-year-old girl also died in this encounter. SAF contingent
that figured in the encounter were in Mamasapano to search for Malaysian bomb
expert Zulkifli bin Hir, also known as Marwan, who is reportedly being
protected by the BIFF, and had a bounty of $5,000,000 from the US FBI.
The policemen were trapped and ran
out of ammunition during the firefight, another police officer said. More than
half of the 44 Philippine National Police-Special Action Force (PNP-SAF)
troopers killed in Mamasapano, Maguindanao in the January 25 clash were shot in
the head — according to the autopsy report of the PNP's Board of Inquiry (BOI).
The autopsies found 27 of the policemen sustained gunshot wounds to the head,
face, neck, and chest, and some of them were allegedly shot at close range.
It's also believed at least three SAF troopers had their bulletproof vests
removed before they were shot in the body numerous times…. Which I can say,
that I, myself watched what appeared to be “live video recordings of the MILF,
BY THE MILF during the shootings of the 44 SAF members.
And… I must add that from reports
made… there were approx 300 troops sitting and waiting on the road…. BUT WERE
NEVER ORDERED INTO THE FIELD TO ASSIST THE 44 SAF AND THAT THE PRESIDENT,
AQUINO AND THE SECRETARY OF D.I.L.G., MAR ROXAS (who wants to run for
president) DID NOTHING TO COMMAND THOSE 300 TROOPS TO HELP.
PART #1 – TERRORISM IN THE PHILIPPINES
President Aquino says the MILF are
NOT Terrorists…. DILG SEC. Mar Roxas says the 44 dead SAF was all just a
mis-encounter, and DOJ- SEC. Delima says to MILF…. Just show good faith!!!!
So… The MILF are NOT Terrorists? –
Lets Just See!
Acts of Terrorism are conflicts
based on political issues conducted by rebel organizations against the
Philippine government, its citizens and supporters. Most acts of terrorism in
the country are conducted by “Radical Islamic Extremist Terrorist Groups”. The
most active terrorist groups in the Philippines are the Moro Islamic Liberation
Front -(MILF), as well as…. The Moro National Liberation Front, Abu Sayyaf,
Rajah Sulaiman Movement and Jemaah Islamiyah. Much larger than the Radical
Islamic Extremist terrorist groups, the Philippine government is fighting a long
running war with the Communist New People's Army, NPA. Which let me inform ALL
that President Aquino’s Father was a member of the NPA!
By the way, the MILF have worked
hand in hand with Abu Sayyaf, who thus are linked with ISIS.
Since 1970’s radical Islamist groups and Islamist separatist forces in the Philippines have carried out over 110 terror attacks, bombings etc in 60 locations against civilians and civilian property, mostly in the southern regions of the country around Mindanao, Basilan, Jolo and other nearby islands. Numerous bombings have also been carried out in and around Metro Manila, though several hundred kilometres from the conflict in the southern regions, due to its political importance. In the period from 2000 to 2007 attacks killed nearly 400 Filipino civilians and injured well over one thousand five hundred more, more casualties than caused by bombings and other attacks in Indonesia, Morocco, Spain, Turkey, or Britain during the same period.
Public transport and other gathering places, such as street markets, have been the favored bombing targets, however large-scale abductions and shootings have also been carried out by the groups, predominantly by Abu Sayyaf and the Rajah Solaiman Movement, two groups that had claimed responsibility for most of the attacks.
I have written a few times in detail the defined definition of “Terrorism”, but again I will give a brief description, and is as follows: The definition of terrorism used is drawn from the United Nations General Assembly condemnation:
“"Criminal acts intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the general public, a group of persons or particular persons for political purposes are in any circumstance unjustifiable, whatever the considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or any other nature that may be invoked to justify them.”
Lets define TERRORISM TO THE “T”….. "Most of the formal definitions of terrorism have some common characteristics: a fundamental motive to make political/societal changes; the use of violence or illegal force; attacks on civilian targets by "nonstate"/"Subnational actors"; and the goal of affecting society. This finding is reflected in the listing of three components of terrorism:
1. Acts or threats of violence;
2. The communication of fear to an audience beyond the immediate victim, and;
3. Political, economic, or religious aims by the perpetrator(s)
There are multiple ways of defining terrorism, and all are subjective. Most define terrorism as "the use or threat of serious violence" to advance some kind of "cause". Some state clearly the kinds of group ("sub-national", "non-state") or cause (political, ideological, religious) to which they refer. Others merely rely on the instinct of most people when confronted with innocent civilians being killed or maimed by men armed with explosives, firearms or other weapons.
"1. Any willful act causing death or grievous bodily harm or loss of liberty to:
a) Heads of State, persons exercising the prerogatives of the head of the State, their hereditary or designated successors;
b) The wives or husbands or the above-mentioned persons;
c) Persons charged with public functions or holding public positions when the act is directed against them in their public capacity.
2. Willful destruction of, or damage to, public property or property devoted to a public purpose belonging to or subject to the authority of another High Contracting Party.
3. Any willful act calculated to endanger the lives of members of the public.
4. Any attempt to commit an offense falling within the foregoing provisions of the present article.
5. The manufacture, obtaining, possession, or supplying of arms, ammunition, explosives or harmful substances with the view to the commission in any country whatsoever o f an offence falling within the present article."
It should be well noted!….. from the 1970’s up until today….. Terrorists acts caused by “Radical Islamic Extremist Terrorist Groups” have occurred in the Republic of the Philippines in vast areas such as:
“Manila, Davao, Zamboanga City, Quiapo, Baguio, Misamis Occidental, Ipil, Jolo, Basilan, Ozamiz City, Mandaluyong City, Kabacan, Monkayo, Honda Bay, General Santos City, Kidapawan City, Quezon City, Datu Piang, Tacurong City, Carmen, Kolambugan, Koronadal City, Midsayap, Tawi Tawi, Parang, El Fraile Island, Piagapo, Lamitan City, Patikul, Jolo, Shariff Aguak, Makilala, Cotabato City, Digos City, Malabang City, Linamon, Iligan City, Isabela City, Lebak, Luuk, Sulu, Marawi City, Tubigan, Antipolo City, Isabela City, Maluso, San Pascual, Matalam, Las Navas, Makati City, Tampakan, Mangudadatu, Tungawan, Sumisip, Sibago Island, Lapuyan, Cagayan de Oro, Nunungan, Guindolongan, Bukidnon, Allacapan”!!!!
61 Locations Within The Philippines??? OH MY GOD!
What The Hell Is Going On Here People!!!!..... “To Remain Passive….. Change Will Never Take Place”…..
And NOW………….. President Aquino AND His Administration want to install the BBL! Now the Republic Of The Philippines are in “IMMINENT DANGER” and this could have a deep impact to the United States as well. (that’s a different article- “The Relevance The Philippines Is To The United States”)
“President Aquino…. Needs to RECALCULATE the cost of breaking CONSTITUTIONAL LAW when it comes to the BANGSAMORO Peace Agreement”
“THE BANGSAMORO FEDERAL-TYPE STATE THAT THEY HAVE AGREED TO ESTABLISH IN MINDANAO IS, UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND PERHAPS BREAKS INTERNATIONAL LAW” and Malacañang has lost Her Integrity for even establishing ANY relationship between State and the notorious MILF moreso…
When President Aquino assumed office in 2010, he took a solemn oath to “PRESERVE AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION” which time and time again has proven to be without merit!
“Malacañang is a Government who is first to violate her laws instead of conforming to them; the first to deny her people's rights instead of honoring them; a Government who promotes anarchy and division instead of uniting together; a Government who engages in the destruction of her people's' lives and dreams, instead of protecting them and helping them to achieve their goals and ambitions”..
President Aquino exposed his doubts, despite his having authorized his negotiators to sign the Framework Agreement with the MILF on Oct. 7, 2012, when he committed Malacañang to work for the amending of the Constitution if it gets in the way. HUH????? Wow! The INCOMPETENT AQUINO GOVERNMENT forgot or didn’t care to think twice the other risks involved when breaking the Philippine Constitution law….. I will remind the administration, the risks involved now that the Government willfully wants to change constitution to “kiss-the-ass” of the MILF! I strongly STRONGLY suggest that Aquino RECALCULATES risks involved and moreso the sovereignty of the Republic of the Philippines!
President Aquino deliberately ignored the pleas from the Philippine National Police-Special Action Force (PNP-SAF) for additional reinforcement to rescue trapped operatives from their dire position. The PNP said, not only was President Aquino informed beforehand of the SAF operation against Malay-sian Zulkifli bin Hir, alias “Mar-wan,” believed to be a key leader of the al-Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islam-iyah, and his alleged Filipino henchman, Abdul Basit Usman, but that he was actually on top of the operation itself.
“The President was actually monitoring the operation. Everything was being reported to him in real time, BUT when the operation went out of control as the MILF and the BIFF Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters) joined forces in attacking the SAF, the President refused to send any reinforcement even as the SAF were already crying for help from their beleaguered position”! mygod can you imagine that....
The MILF are plain terrorists…. Simply speaking and nothing else. “WHY DID PRESIDENT AQUINO SIDE WITH A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION?” ….
What is the Philippine government missing???? to negotiate with a terrorist(s ) is to allow them to have power over our actions over your state, If we were to allow a terrorist group to have power over our actions of state, then every terrorist group that wants something in the world would come at us and try to get us to give them what they want also… quite simply, YOU DON’T GIVE IN TO TERRORISTS… and The President of the Republic of the Philippines did just that when he paid them and tried to institute an unconstitutional law! If you give terrorists what they want, you will prove that terrorism is a successful strategy and you will encourage others to also use terrorism to get what they want. The more that terrorism is rewarded, …..the more terrorism we will get.
PART #2 – SC ASKED TO NULLIFY BBL
SUPREME COURT OF THE REPUBLIC OF
THE PHILIPPINES IS ASKED TO NULLIFY AND VOID THE BBL- BANGSAMORO BASIC LAW
WHICH THE CORRUPTED MALACANANG BRANDED THE PETITION AS “BASELESS”!-
Shortly Before March 11th, 2015
I, myself called on the Supreme Court with respect to the Unlawful and
Unconstitutional BBL, Bangsamoro Basic Law which reads…… “There MUST BE an
"INJUNCTION PLACED AGAINST THE B.B.L.".... I Am Calling On The
Supreme Power Of The Land and For Her People Of The Republic Of The Philippines
For The Supreme Court To LAWFULLY Place A Temporary Injunction On The B.B.L.
Whereas By Doing So, The Legalities Can Be Reviewed And Will Be Able To
Withdraw The B.B.L. From Enactment Thereof.” And I was the FIRST to state;-
“THE BBL- BANGSAMORO BASIC LAW IS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND VIOLATES PHILIPPINE SOVEREIGNTY- ANY GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL
WHO VIOLATES THE CONSTITUTION AND SUPPORTS THIS UNLAWFUL ACT CAN BE HELD LIABLE
FOR TREASON THEREOF”!
“The Supreme Court Needs To Show
Its Integrity And Place An Injunction On The Enactment Of The Unlawful BBL
Thereof.”
SUPREME COURT OF THE REPUBLIC OF
THE PHILIPPINES IS ASKED TONULLIFY AND VOID THE BBL- BANGSAMORO BASIC LAW:
Former National Security Adviser
Norberto Gonzales, Bishop Romulo Dela Cruz, Leyte Rep. Ferdinand Martin
Romualdez, Former Senator KitTatad, Archbishop Fernando Capalla And Former
Justice Manuel Lazaro File APetition To Review The Draft Bangsamoro Basic Law
Before The Supreme Court.
MANILA, Philippines - The Supreme
Court (SC) was asked yesterday to void the agreement forged by the government
with the Moro Islamic (MILF) for the proposed creation of a Bangsamoro
entity in southern Philippines.
Petitioners Philippine
Constitution Association (Philconsa) and former Negros Oriental representative
Jacinto Paras asked the high court todeclare unconstitutional the Comprehensive
Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB),including the earlier Framework Agreement on
the Bangsamoro (FAB) and its annexes.
Both alleged that the government
peace panel committed grave abuse of discretion in signing the FAB and CAB on
Oct. 12, 2012 and March 27,2014, respectively, as both are mere revivals of the
Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MOA-AD) forged by the previous
administration with the MILF and which was declared unconstitutional by the
high court in October 2008.
Moro National Liberation Front
(MNLF) spokesman Emmanuel Fontanilla welcomed the filing of the petition,
saying the CAB will abrogatethe 1996 peace accord, which was brokered by the
Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
“It’s a welcome development as
this will highlight our position that the CAB runs counter to the provision of
the Constitution,” Fontanilla told The STAR in a telephone interview.
He added that CAB is a betrayal
of the 1996 agreement of the government and the MNLF because it deals with the
same people and territory,recalling that the government abandoned the older
agreement in its final stages.
Malacañang, which has repeatedly
called for the passage of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), questioned the timing
of the petition and branded it as baseless.
“The government will be ready to
answer once the Supreme Court directs us to do so. It is interesting that these
challenges to the FAB and CAB come at this time,” deputy presidential
spokesperson Abigail Valte said.
She described the timing as “quite odd” because the FAB and CAB were signed in2012 and 2014, respectively.
She added that it was baseless to
claim that the MILF would be receiving “humongous social, financial and
political benefits” after the BBL’s passage.
“Using the word humongous was
being hyperbolic and meant to skewthe opinion of the public against the BBL,”
Valte also said.
Leyte Rep. Ferdinand Martin
Romualdez, leader of the House’s independent bloc and Philconsa president, said
they are merely making sure that the BBL is consistent with the Constitution
and contains no legal infirmities.
He reiterated his support for
genuine peace in Mindanao “that can only be ensured if the BBL is legal and
constitutional.”
VOID MEASURE:
In its 24-page petition, Philconsa argued that the agreements violated Article X Section 1 of the Constitution, which authorizes and recognizes only five territorial and political subdivisions – provinces, cities, municipalities,barangays and autonomous regions.
In its 24-page petition, Philconsa argued that the agreements violated Article X Section 1 of the Constitution, which authorizes and recognizes only five territorial and political subdivisions – provinces, cities, municipalities,barangays and autonomous regions.
The group pointed out that the power to create the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) was vested only in the First Congress under the 1987 Constitution.
“We submit that without the prior
constitutional amendments, the FAB proposal to establish the Bangsamoro to
replace the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao as the New Political Entity
(NPE) is unconstitutional and void,” it argued.
The group also reasoned that
“axiomatically, all subsequent acts/issuances arising from, connected with or
related to the FAB and CAB, such as the draft House Bill 4994 (or BBL), are
odious and treacherous violations oft he 1987 Constitution.”
Joined by former senator
Francisco Tatad, former national security adviser Norberto Gonzales and
archbishops Ramon Arguelles of Lipa,Fernando Capalla of Davao and Romulo de la
Cruz of Zamboanga, the Philconsa argued that FAB and CAB granted concessions to
the MILF beyond the powers ofthe President and in violation of the provisions
of the Constitution and existing laws.
“The FAB and CAB made a real and
actual commitment to fully implement their letter and spirit by effecting the
necessary amendments to the Constitution and existing laws. Lamentably,
respondents (officials of the peacepanel) in their official and personal
capacities had neither power norauthority to commit the government to statutory
changes,” the petitioners argued.
Philconsa added that the conduct
of the peace process with theMILF violated Executive Order No. 125, as issued
by former President Fidel Ramos, which requires the presence of a panel of
advisers composed of one each from the Senate, the House of Representatives and
the Cabinet to be designated by the President.
“Contrary to and in violation of
EO 125, the GPNP (GovernmentPeace Negotiating Panel) were not assisted by the
panel of advisers. Thedifferent GPNPs conducted numerous negotiations,
dialogues and face-to-facediscussions with the MILF here and abroad, bereft of
the presence of the requisite panel of advisers,” the group concluded.
Apart from voiding the CAB and
FAB, Philconsa also asked the high court to issue a temporary restraining order
(TRO) enjoining the implementation of the two agreements and the allotment of
funds to pursue activities to implement them.
Petitioners sought to enjoin the
implementation of all other acts and issuances such as the BBL that are related
to the FAB and CAB. They said the draft Bangsamoro Basic Law in Congress is a
“fruit” of the two“unconstitutional” agreements.
Petitioners also asked the high
court to issue mandamus directing the Commission on Audit (COA) to disallow the
audit of all funds incurred by the government peace panel.
Named respondents in the petition
were former government peace panel chief and now SC Associate Justice Marvic
Leonen, chief peace negotiator Miriam Coronel-Ferrer, MILF peace panel head
Mohagher Iqbal, Budget Secretary Florencio Abad and the COA.
UNCONSTITUTIONAL:
Paras, for his part, alleged that CAB and FAB are unconstitutional when they defined the “territory” and “territorial waters” of the proposed Bangsamoro entity.
Paras, for his part, alleged that CAB and FAB are unconstitutional when they defined the “territory” and “territorial waters” of the proposed Bangsamoro entity.
Article V Section 1 of FAB
defines “core territory” as covering the current territory of ARMM, plus the
cities of Cotabato and Isabela. ArticleV Section 4 of the FAB, on the other
hand, provided for “territorial waters” of the entity.
“The term territory is an element
of statehood. Article X of the 1987 Constitution allows only the creation of an
autonomous region in Muslim Mindanao, not a separate state or sub-state,” he
argued in 34-page petition.
Article I Section 2 of the FAB
provides that “the government of the Bangsamoro shall have ministerial form,”
which Paras said pertains to a parliamentary form of government.
“The Constitution contemplates a
structure of government that is anything except a parliamentary government,” he
stressed.
Just like Philconsa, Paras
believes that the CAB and FAB were similar to MOA-AD as he pointed out that
“the CAB, particularly its FAB and corresponding annexes, were negotiated and
signed without any public consultation.
“This means that the herein
respondents acted in a whimsical,capricious, oppressive arbitrary and despotic
manner when they negotiated and caused the signing of the CAB, particularly its
FAB and its corresponding annexes,” he added.
He named Ferrer, presidential
adviser on the peace processTeresita Deles and other representatives of the
government peace panel SenenBacani, Yasmin Busran-Lao and Mehol Sadain as
respondents in his petition.
PART
#3 - TO DENY and VIOLATE PHILIPPINE SOVEREIGNTY & LIABLE FOR TREASON
UPHOLDING RULE OF LAW- LIABLE FOR TREASON
House Bill 4994,Bangsamoro Basic
Law ( BBL ) is presented by its proponents with lofty idealsand declarations
that seem to support democracy, social justice, sustain development and promote
equitable progress in Mindanao. Upon reviewing the specific provisions and
analyzing the essence of the proposed legislation,however, brought serious
doubts and fear for our country and people. Contradictory and treacherous provisions
are evident in the legislation leading to the creation of an authoritarian
Bangsamoro Islamic sub-state, run by a known terrorist faction with an
expansionist and secessionist agenda. The BBL is strongly supported and
propagandized by the Aquino administration in the name of "peace",
and labeling oppositions as "anti-peace" and "anti-Muslim"
which is far from the truth. While veiling the provisions and strategic
directions of the Malaysian-designed Bangsamoro Islamic sub-state operated by
the Moro Islamic Liberation Front ( MILF ), for eventual and seamless
integration with the Federation of Malaysia.
How can members of Congress take
an oath to "PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION FROM ALL ENEMIES AND PROTECT THE
SOVEREIGNTY OF STATE" ……then willfully, and knowingly vote on laws which
are unconstitutional and gut the rule of law thereof and without any
judicial oversight; and yet NOT be charged with treason when the 23 MILF and
Philippine Government Negotiators will be charged with Treason.
It Seems To Me That Their Oath To Protect, Combined With Their Acts
To Destroy, Or Damage The Very Thing They Took An Oath To Protect Is The Very
Definition Of Treason.
WHEREAS: The Provisions of The Unlawful BBL- Bangsamoro Basic Law were in effect
“copied” From The Invalid MOA-AD… Furthermore, which the Supreme Court had
already declared “Unconstitutional”! With that being said and a well known fact
already in place;-
WHEREAS: Congressmen And Women Asked By The Aquino Administration To
Deliberate And Pass An “Unlawful Bill Into Congress”, The BBL- Bangsamoro Basic
Law Which Makes An "Artificial Sub-State" Run By A Known Terrorist
Faction And Gives Up Territory Of The Philippines And Who Were On Duty And
Seated For "Official Business" When They "Willfully” Voted For
The Unlawful Bangsamoro Basic Law And Did So With A Total Disregard For The
Constitution Of The Republic Of The Philippines, Which Is The Basis For The
Laws And Statues For The Republic Of The Philippines, Hence By Doing So On
"Official Business",- Therefore, Committed Treason"

SUMMARY
1987 CONSTITUTION Article II
Section 1. The Philippines is a democratic and republican State. Sovereignty
resides in the people and all government authority emanates from them;-
CARDINAL-The Filipino People Do Not Authorize Anyone In Government To Sell The Sovereignty Of Their Country To Anyone Nor Do They Authorize The Government To Parcel Out Any Land That Is A Part Of The National Territory Of The Republic Of The Philippines And Give Sovereignty To Aliens Especially A Known Terrorist Organization / Faction Whose Members Do Not Even Call Themselves Filipinos And Who Are Guilty Of Murdering The Men Of A Duly Constituted Authority, PNP, And Who Have Committed Several Acts Of Terrorism In The Republic Of The Philippines. The Peace Process Between The Government And The MILF Is Definitely A Pretext By Both Parties For Their Own Selfish Gains To Scam The Filipino People In Toto. All Government Officials, Elective And Appointive, Pushing The BBL Become Co-Conspirators Of This SCAM And Are Guilty Of High Treason For Depriving The Filipino People Of Their Sovereignty.

Cardinal Orlando Beltrán Quevedo…. It is MY EDUCATED GUESS…. That you, either a.)
did not read the full BBL and understand its Illegal implications…. b.) do not
understand fully what the BBL is about. c.) do not know who the MILF are OR d.)
have another agenda for backing the BBL!
Anyone… in their right mind would
NEVER back the BBL…. This is why with 12 MORE reasons Cardinal!
12 REASONS TO OPPOSE THE
BANGSAMORO BASIC LAW ( BBL ):
House Bill 4994, Bangsamoro Basic
Law ( BBL ) is presented by its proponents with lofty ideals and declarations
that seem to support democracy, social justice, sustain development and promote
equitable progress in Mindanao. Upon reviewing the specific provisions and
analyzing the essence of the proposed legislation, however, brought serious
doubts and fear for the country and people. Contradictory and treacherous
provisions are evident in the legislation leading to the creation of an
authoritarian Bangsamoro Islamic sub-state,with an expansionist and
secessionist agenda. The BBL is strongly supported and propagandized by the
Aquino administration in the name of "peace",and labeling oppositions
as "anti-peace" and "anti-Muslim"which is far from the
truth. While veiling the provisions and strategic directions of the
Malaysian-designed Bangsamoro Islamic sub-state operated bythe Moro Islamic
Liberation Front ( MILF ), for eventual and seamless integration with the Federation
of Malaysia.
1. MALAYSIAN DESIGN OF BANGSAMORO
SUB-STATE
The Bangsamoro Basic Law ( BBL )
prescribes a parliamentary form of government patterned after the Federation of
Malaysia. Bangsamoro is distinct from the presidential form of government,
existing laws and regional structure of the Republic of the Philippines. The
proposed law will lead to the creation of a Bangsamoro Islamic sub-state that
could eventually integrate with the Federation of Malaysia, in the same manner
the contested territory of Sabah was incorporated in 1964. BBL is a clear and
present danger to the Republic, to our national sovereignty and territorial
integrity. The bill currently being deliberated in Congress will endanger the
national security, interest and welfare of the Republic of the Philippines and
the Filipino people. The passage of BBL into law will reward an armed insurgent
group; the MILF and its Malaysian backer, with a large territory plus tens of
billions of pesos of Filipino taxpayers money. The Aquino government is
yielding undue concessions to the MILF, after conspiring with Malaysia to
initiate destabilization campaigns that resulted to thousands of deaths,
economic dislocation and strategically preventing the Philippines from
asserting its sovereignty,territorial and proprietary rights of Filipino
citizens in the contested territory of Sabah.
2. INDEPENDENT BANGSAMORO
GOVERNMENT OFFICES
The Bangsamoro will create
independent government institutions, commissions and agencies particularly
legislative and judicial institutions and systems; revenue and taxation, audit,
election and civil service commissions. Over fifty ( 50 ) departments and
agencies, including land registration and customs, police force and coast guard
will be organized by the Bangsamoro government.The provision for reserved and
shared governance in favor of the Bangsamoro, abrogates the power of the
Philippine state to effective lygovern the Bangsamoro territory. What
guarantees and qualifications could the Bangsamoro harness to improve the
quality of governance and justify the replacement of National Government
offices operating in the region? Certainly,the Bangsamoro will require a better
trained bureaucracy, reform the culture and system of governance, and develop
exemplary leadership to efficiently and effectively manage the affairs of the
Bangsamoro government. Statecraft as we know cannot be learned overnight,
moreso when the new players are subjected to a new operating environment,
challenges and undermined management qualifications. The result will surely be
chaotic, if not result into a break down in law and order and governance.
Furthermore, the Bangsamoro is given entitlements to top positions in the
Philippine government hierarchy without reciprocity.
3. BANGSAMORO CHIEF MINISTER AS
HEAD OF STATE
The Bangsamoro will be headed by
the Chief Minister, who is mandated to exercise supreme, almost absolute power
over the legislative,executive and judicial branches of government through the
operation of law,political design and controls. The authority to exercise power
emanates from the legislative branch composed initially of MILF appointees and
applied accordingly in executive and judicial offices in unbriddled capacity.
The powers include appointment of officials, administrative and budgetary controls,accountability
and attrition proceedings. Under the BBL, the Chief Minister is mandated to
exercise asymmetric relationship with the President of the Republic of the
Philippines as head of state. He will have effective control of
intergovernmental conflict resolution mechanism and limit the movement of Armed
Forces of the Philippines ( AFP ) in the Bangsamoro territory, rendering
thesame inutile to defend the national security and interest of the Philippine
state as circumstances arise.
4. MILF AS TRANSITION AUTHORITY
The Moro Islamic Liberation Front
( MILF ), an armed minority that broke away from the mainstream Moro National
Liberation Front (MNLF ) is designated to assume supreme leadership status
during the transition process. The expanded Autonomous Region of Muslim
Mindanao ( ARMM ) will be reorganized as the Bangsamoro Islamic sub-state. The
one ( 1 ) year transition time frame is extendable for an indefinite period
with the MILF leadership atthe helm. The MILF will initially receive P 10-Billion
in capital outlay from the Filipino taxpayers. The total budget to be allocated
will be more than P75-Billion over a period of ten ( 10 ) years.
5. BANGSAMORO TERRITORY AND
EXPANSIONISM
The proposed Bangsamoro territory
will include the ARMM provinces of Basilan, Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Sulu
and Tawi-Tawi; the cities of Cotabato and Isabela, some towns and barangays in
Lanao del Norte and North Cotabato province and adjacent waters. The proposed
Bangsamoro territory is home to about four ( 4 ) million Filipino citizens:
Muslims, Christians and Lumads. A provision mandating territorial expansion by
integrating contiguous Local Goverment Units ( LGUs ), through petitions
representing 10% of the electorates will start the process of integration. The
one-way territorial expansion provision will create a constant state of siege,
intensify conflict and perceived danger to contiguous LGUs and the entire
island of Mindanao.
6. ILLEGITIMACY OF MILF
REPRESENTATION
The Corrupted Benigno C. Aquino
III administration peace process negotiation was initiated exclusively with a
faction of the MoroIslamic Liberation Front ( MILF ). The MILF undermines the
legitimacy of the peace process negotiation being a minority group that does
not represent thetrue aspirations of the people of Mindanao. The appointment of
alleged terrorist-bomber alias "Mohagher Iqbal" as the official
representative and negotiator of the MILF does not bring justice and further
create doubts to the legitimacy of the "peace" process. Aquino's negotiators;
namely Madame Teresita Quintos-Deles and Miriam Coronel-Ferrer
act more like lawyers
of the MILF, rather than
representatives of the Philippine government and the Filipino people as
observed by the public. Inexplicably,long standing leaders and representatives
of Filipino citizens in Mindanao were excluded in the peace negotiation
process. The Royal Hashemite Sultanate of Sabah and Sulu, the Royal Houses of
Lanao and Maguindanao, the MNLF andfactions of MILF were excluded and have no
meaningful representation in the socalled peace process negotiations, that led
to the formulation of BBL. The negotiation process itself is defective, given
the interstate nature of the proceedings, with a sovereign status erroneously considered
for the MILF. The Philippine Senate is constitutionally mandated as the primary
institution to undertake such task.
7. SHARI'AH LAW IN BANGSAMORO
JUSTICE SYSTEM
Under Article X of BBL, the
Bangsamoro government will adopt the Shari'ah law in the justice system, with
far reaching judicial reach involving civil and family, commercial and criminal
matters. While it is declared to be applicable to Muslims only, such
prescription is unrealistic given the diverse religious and cultural beliefs of
probable litigants in the territory. The integration of Shari'ah law and
traditional indigenous practices will create an unprecedented conflict of laws
and judicial issues with existing Philippine laws and jurisprudence. The
complexity will create serious obstacles resulting to inefficient delivery of
justice and unequal protection of laws between Muslims and non-Muslims, man and
woman, other than issues on jurisdiction. Penalties will likely involve harsh
and unusual punishments contrary to existing laws, while the institutions of
marriage and family,tolerance of other religious beliefs, contemporary
understanding of gay rights,commercial and financial transactions will face
severe challenges under Shari'ah law. The universal doctrines of separation of
Church and State, and Equal Protection of Laws will be utterly violated. The
Bangsamoro High Court apparently will be supreme in addressing judiciable
issues, practically relegating the Supreme Court of the Philippines to
ceremonial duties and may end up upholding the Bangsamoro High Courts decisions
due to technicalities.
8. BANGSAMORO POLICE AND COAST
GUARD
Article XI of the BBL mandates
the creation of an operationally independent police force for law enforcement
and regional security. While the Bangsamoro police is referred to as part of
the PNP,pertinent provisions indicate the same as operationally independent,
organized and administered, and funded according to the requirements of the
Bangsamoro leadership. The Bangsamoro Napolcom composition and review mechanism
is subject to the temperament of the Bangsamoro leadership. A Bangsamoro Coast
Guard shall likewise be organized to enforce the maritime rights, interest and
security of the Bangsamoro in the proposed territorial waters. BBL defines
territorial water boundaries between the Bangsamoro and contiguous LGUs in
favor of the former. The creation of distinct territorial water boundaries and
designated role of the Bangsamoro Coast Guard in the enforcement of exclusive
fishery and maritime rights will unnecessarily cause conflicts in our fishing
and maritime sectors. A new arena in naval warfare will likely ensue and serve
as rationale for developing a more capable Bangsamoro Coast Guard or Navy.
Given the track record of the MILF, the history of Malaysian interference and
real motivation in Mindanao. The prospect of developing the capability and
function of the Bangsamoro police and coast guard, into a full-pledged military
and naval force with Malaysian support is highly probable. The massacre of SAF
44 in Mamasapano is fair warning and a clear indication of things to come,
should we fail to recognize their supreme sacrifice and collectively oppose the
passage of BBL.The operation of AFP in the territory is legally controlled by
the Bangsamoro government under the BBL.
9. COST OF BBL TO FILIPINO
TAXPAYERS: P 75-BILLION
The direct cost of the proposed
Bangsamoro Basic Law ( BBL )to Filipino taxpayers is estimated at more than P
75-Billion over a period of10 years. Some economic analysts bring the cost of
BBL to the nation at over P500-Billion. An initial P 10-Billion is allocated
for capital outlay during the transition period, under the sole management of
the MILF. The Bangsamoro is likewise mandated to contract commercial and
foreign loans, enter into international trade agreements, manage the barter
trade, develop freeports,accept foreign grants and aid, possibly including
police/military aid from rival countries like Malaysia.
10. FOREIGN INTERVENTION FOR THE
PASSAGE OF BBL
The most alarming situation faced
by our challenged Republicis the intervention of rival states and international
institutions likeMalaysia and the Organization of Islamic Countries ( OIC ) in
our domestic affairs. In the case of Malaysia, naivete should not preclude us
from identifying the unsettled issues of sovereignty, territorial and
proprietory rights in Sabah as the real motivation of Malaysian interest in the
Aquino-MILF"peace" process. Historians allege the compromised
position of Aquino as reciprocity to Malaysian support, contracted since the
onset of the Marcos regime. The allegation of Malaysian money being made
available, purposely to bribe Filipino legislators for the passage of the BBL
is a serious concern for all citizens of the Republic of the Philippines,
honorable members of Congress,defense-military and police establishments. The
rise of radical Islam and terrorism worldwide is a serious threat that requires
equally strong measures,to prevent any part of Philippines from becoming a
staging ground of this growing malady to the civilized world.
11. ARMM IS THE SOLUTION, NOT BBL
The Autonomous Region in Muslim
Mindanao ( ARMM ) organized under the auspices of the 1987 Constitution and
given focus during the Ramos administration is work in progress. It is
hypocritical and self-serving to declare the ARMM as a failed experiment, to
justify the imposition of an unconstitutional and dangerous BBL. An improved
and better managed ARMM, with increased budget allocation remains as the most
viable and non-controversial solution to advance peace, sustain development and
equitable progress in the troubled regions of Central Mindanao and Sulu
archipelago. The BBL is a prescription for political, social and economic
instability; it has intensified conflict and the prospect of war in Mindanao
unnecessarily. It must be junked the sooner, the better by Congress. Otherwise
the concerned citizenry,particularly those in the affected areas must organize
and campaign against the BBL in the plebiscite. Finally, the constitutionalist
among us must work extra hard to declare the BBL as unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court. The ARMM elections which were cancelled by Noynoy Aquino, should
instead be synchronized with the 2016 National Elections, to enable the people
of the region to choose their preferred representatives and legitimate
leadership. A fresh start to advance a just and lasting peace for all peoples
of Mindanao can begin without the flawed and compromised position of the Aquino
administration, the constitutional infirmities, complexities and dangers
associated with the BBL.
12. BBL IS A CLEAR AND PRESENT
DANGER TO THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES
The BBL is a clear and present
danger to the sovereignty,security and territorial integrity of the Republic of
the Philippines. The lopsided legislation threatens the national interest and
welfare of the Filipino people. By all indications and policy standards, BBL is
the product of a mentally challenged and psychologically unstable national
leadership. Wherein world history could you find the leadership of a sovereign
state yielding to unreasonable and conflicting demands of a fractitious
minority? Willfully allowing a rival state to prop-up the enemy, to endanger
its national security and interest? Only in the Philippines, under the
leadership of His Excellency President Benigno C. Aquino III! While we fully
support efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace, sustain development and
promote equitable progress in Mindanao, the cost of peace should not compromise
our national interest and security, the people's freedom and welfare, and our
way of life as a secular,egalitarian, sovereign and democratic state.
SHARIAH LAW- BANGSAMORO PENAL
CODE- BANGSAMORO JUSTICE SYSTEM OF THE BBL
Shariah law as stated in the BBL is
clearly a violation of the Republic’s basic principle of the separation of
church and state. Not even the Bible is mentioned in the Constitution and the
Deity it refers to is a generic one, “Almighty God,’ not Allah nor Our Lord
Jesus Christ…. What do you think about that Cardinal and all of the CBCP!
The BBL bill, if or when enacted
into law, will be the first ever law of the land that specifies religious text
as the basis of laws to govern a part of Philippine territory. Section 4 of the
BBL bill reads:
“Sources of Shari’ah Law: The following
are the “sources of Shari’ah law, among others: Al-Qur’an (The Koran); Al-Sunnah
(Prophetic traditions); Al-Ijima (Consensus); and Al-Qiyas (Analogy)”.
In recent history, Muslim
countries in which secular governments fell have been taken over by Islamic
fundamentalists. The most recent and notable examples are Afghanistan, where
the Taliban rampaged after the fall of the Soviet-backed secular government,
and Iraq, where the ISIS has gone on a frenzy of beheadings and massacres.
With the BBL, we are, in effect,
dismantling the old ARMM secular government and replacing it with one
controlled by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front- the MILF a known Terrorist
Organization. Are we to believe, as Aquino and his negotiators and you,
Cardinal that are trying to lead us to believe, that the word “Islamic” doesn’t
have any real meaning to it at all????
Article X of the bill, both in
its original and draft form, is even entitled “Bangsamoro Justice System.” With
this in mind, Perhaps we don’t really care about our Muslim brothers since the
draft law specifies that Shari’ah law (Islamic Law) will be supreme only for
Muslims. But aren’t Muslims in Mindanao also Filipino citizens of a Republic
entitled to a secular, modern system of justice?
If a poor boy was born Muslim,
and he got hungry so that he stole bread from the local bakery, would we allow
his hand to be cut off as due punishment for theft called for under Shari’ah
law? If in a fit of anger, a Muslim shoots a neighbor dead, would we allow a
Shari’ah court to behead him in public, as is routinely done in Saudi Arabia
under Islamic law? And under Shari’ah law, women are basically second-class
citizens vested with fewer rights than men have.
If a Muslim woman was raped,
would the Aquino chief negotiator Miriam Ferrer and her superior, Teresita
Deles, agree that she’d have to have four witnesses to the actual act, as
Shari’a specifies, because of its assumption that the word of one man (the
perpetrator who would deny the crime) is superior to the word of one woman, so
that she needs four other people to corroborate her claim?
This is not speculation. In Saudi
Arabia, which totally adopts Shari’ah, a court in 2007 sentenced a gang-rape “victim”
to six months’ imprisonment and 200 lashes. Women enjoy no rights in Saudi
courts. They are not allowed to speak for themselves and must be represented by
a male relative or a lawyer. According to Saudi official policy, the purpose of
educating a girl is to bring her up in a proper Islamic way so as to perform
her duties in life – which are those of being an ideal and successful housewife
and a good mother.
Cardinal… Your To Be A Man Of GOD And I Am A Man Of GOD… Why Would We Allow A
Religious Form Of Justice – Essentially A Medieval One Created First By A
Desert Tribe And Later By Feudal (Caliphate) Empires – Be Supreme For One
Sector Of The Republic?
The dishonesty of Deles and
Ferrer has been demonstrated by their claims that Shari’ah is already practiced
in the Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
This is a blatant lie. Republic
Act No. 6734 of 1989, which set up the ARMM, merely established Shari’ah
Appellate Courts as the higher court after the Shari’ah District and Circuit
courts, which were established in 1977 under Presidential Decree 1083, also called
the Code of Muslim Personal Laws.
As the law’s title suggests, the
Code covers what is called in our secular laws as civil laws – those on
marriage, disposition of estates, legitimacy of children, and paternity.
As the decree explains, it is an
attempt to incorporate “National Cultural Communities’… customs, traditions and
beliefs.” The decree does not even authorize broad implementation of Shari’ah
but specifies in detail how civil disputes are to be settled.
SHARIAH LAW- BANGSAMORO PENAL
CODE- BANGSAMORO JUSTICE SYSTEM OF THE BBL
IS TO INCLUDE CRIMINAL ASPECTS LIKE BEHEADING,
STONINGS, AND AMPUTATIONS. This is a very BLATANT violation of the constitution
CARDINAL!- IS THIS ALSO WHAT YOU ENDORSE?!
The compromised position taken by
the unpatriotic and incompetent Aquino administration must be opposed by all
Filipino citizens,regardless of faith and creed. We must unite and stand up
against the impostors and traitors to our Republic. We must take action now by
studying the unconstitutional and dangerous provisions of the BBL, share this
with other concerned citizens, civil society groups, people's organizations and
patriotic officials in all levels of government. Contact and press your
Congressmen and Senators to junk the BBL. Organize, make a list of traitors and
take action now before its too late.
NO TO BBL ! NO TO AN ISLAMIC SUB-STATE !
"BBL will not lead to peace.
BBL will lead to war - if not by the MILF-BIFF who actually never let up, or by
those who were deliberately left out of the conversation, as with the Abu
Sayyaf who have worked hand in hand with the MILF but also have close ties to
ISIS. So, my advice is – LAWFULLY STOP THE BBL BECAUSE THE NATIONAL SECURITY IS
AT STAKE HERE, AS WELL AS WITH YOUR LIVES”.
IF THERE IS “ANYTHING VALUABLE TO YOUR LIFE AS A
FILIPINO AND YOUR COUNTRY”…. Including your Children’s….. then I STRONGLY
SUGGEST….. YOU TAKE “ANY AND ALL LAWFUL MEASURES” AND “ TAKE ANY LEGAL MEANS TO
STOP THE ENACTMENT OF THE B.B.L.”
Cardinal…. I am a Proud Christian who, when is
afforded the chance to serve GOD I will do so. Im just a business man…. Not a
writer.. I have spent hundreds of thousands to help the poor and needy
Filipino’s when I can…. And I have saved the lives of 14 Filipino’s with their
blood on my hands and clothes, and Praise be to GOD that HE put me in that
position to do so. I ask you now to stand up for your Filipino brothers and
sisters… Muslims, and Christians alike and help to stop the BBL. – PRAISE BE TO
GOD IN THE HIGHEST.
“By using GOD to advocate peace with terrorists under these
circumstances is a grave mistake…. That no man of GOD should ever do.” –
