With the ongoing barrage of left and right debates on the MOA given out by the GRP and the MILF I have nothing else to say but this.
“If you want to know what the real situation is then go look at it in the eyes of the people living there.”
Thus my first point of inquiry is not by reading the agreement nor reading about what the Government and the senate is fighting about I called my good friend from Cotabato and asked him what was happening there and this he told me.
“GMA sold us! The MILF is all over the place that they are torching houses and stealing cows! Most of us have to take up arms because they are harassing us!”
“Damn that ancestral domain shit! The questions they should ask is if we are willing here to be subjugated by the MILF!”
“We haven’t slept for a long time and there had been dead civilians trying to protect their homes from the rebels but they were just too many! They delight on killing civilians while the military doesn’t do anything they just looked until their beloved General Esperon was criticized by the Senate that was the only time they moved in, but at the cost of what? At the cost of houses that were torched to the ground? At the cost of the lives of civilians murdered?”
“If the MILF occupies our lands where will the Christians go?”
After that I asked him if he can get pictures of the burnt houses and he told me he would try as those places are now occupied.
The first thing that came into my mind about the term ancestral domain and the MILF’s struggle for it is the war in Israel that haven’t stopped since the time it was occupied by Jews from world war 2.
It occured to me that the only reason war could be avoided is to let the people decide for themselves and not with the power of a gun.
It’s going to be a dark dark time for Mindanao…
