now there is also a blessing to that. that muslims were not part of the tribal groups that were awarded CADCs as early as 1993. it is not in the news, but up to this time, with particularly one special case study in gen san-saranggani area, big business, speculators, armed goons are killing the chiefs of tribes to whom the government awarded the CADCs.
it is an appalling situation. i am willing to bet the supreme court does not even know about this. and in the court of appeals, in lower courts, i bet that there are a lot of cases about plain and simple murder of indigenous people’s leaders that are not moving just because there are killer businessmen that are paying the courts hefty sums of money not to adjudicate the cases for their own sakes. court work being a highly, albeit extremely profitable business nowadays.
whatever government is doing must be remiss, since many tribal chiefs have already been executed by professional hit men and it is suspected, possibly even by the business men themselves because they frequent these ancestral domain areas they are moving heaven and earth to grab from the tribes! may we please call the attention of our government authorities to this please? please?
as of now, in the gen san area, only one chief among several chiefs of a group of a particular tribe in that place is surviving and he is in deep hiding. why can’t the authorities help him? are they waiting for the business men to shoot him down too and silently share in the proceeds of the exploitation of that tribe’s ancestral lands?
now back to the muslims. it will be impossible that these killings by big and small business men had escaped the attention of the both sides involved in the peace process. even the americans would have known about these killings of tribal chiefs by greedy business persons.
if esperon as a warrior would have been properly apprised of the situation, then he would be the first to suggest that the tribes should have proper protection. that means guns. against the guns of those that have been decimating the ranks of poor, helpless tribal chieftains.
if that is what actually happened, that esperon and garcia and madame gloria all agreed to have the milf in the negotiating table with their guns.
it must be because of the damned greedy and insatiable businessmen and their lackey politicians, hired killers and ally communists and criminals in the underworld.
this and a few other reasons. but above all, this.
if the bangsamoro juridical entity will be a self-protecting organism, so be it. after all, what use is a CADC to a moro tribe, if its tribal leader or civil-political leaders will be killed after all? self-defense is different from entering into treason. and there were other considerations too for the wording of the scrapped MOA-AD agreement in the manner that it was drafted.
or if that stupid idiot of a blogger and his bosses do not understand it, is simply because the idiot is most probably being paid highly by bosses to write derogatory stories against those working for peace in mindanao. sadly, at the same, stupid idiot might be inviting his own demise and that will again be credited to philippines: most dangerous place to work in for journalists. amen to that.
