Pinoy should give the Muslims freedom instead of oppressing them! Invaders.
Free Tibet first and we might consider.
Start with Nur Misuari. I don't understand why Malacanang allows him to breath !
We are going to need MQ-9 Reaper or similar drones to it just to hunt them down.

PNP denies Purisima planned Mamasapano operation

MANILA - Philippine National Police (PNP) deputy spokesperson Senior Supt. Roberto Po denied suspended chief Alan Purisima had a hand in the Mamasapano operations that ended in the death of more than 40 elite cops.
In a press conference, Po said the report is mere hearsay.
The Manila Standard Today reported that the operation against two bomb makers with connections to the al Qaeda network was assigned to Purisima.
Citing a police general as source, the newspaper said President Aquino assigned the sensitive mission to the suspended PNP chief.
“The President was aware of the Marwan covert operations. Purisima reported directly to him. In fact, the President went to Zamboanga prior to the troop’s jump off to Mamasapano in Maguindanao so that he would be in the vicinity when Malaysian terrorist Zulkipli bin Hir alias Marwan and Filipino Basit Usman, both bomb experts linked to the Jemaah Islamiya terror cell, are captured,” the official told Manila Standard Today.
Forty-four police commandos were killed and 12 others were wounded in a firefight with Moro rebels in Mamasapano, Maguindanao last Sunday.
Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas said the police were hunting two "high-value" militants but police commandos ran into a group of rebels who thought the police were mounting an attack.
"This was a misencounter," Roxas told a news conference in Cotabato City in the south of the country.
Mohagher Iqbal, head of the rebel peace panel, said the police failed to coordinate their operations with the ceasefire committee.
"They entered our area and attacked us, what are we going to do?" he asked. "What happened was self-defense."
Meanwhile, officials of the PNPA Alumni Association said they may file a case against those who planned the operation.
The group’s chairman, Supt. Tomas Rentoy, said they may also call on members to file a mass leave for five days to condemn the incident –

Ex-generals say MILF can't control its forces
by Ira Pedrasa, ABS-CBNnews.com

MANILA - The Association of General and Flag Officers (AGFO) called for an independent probe into the Mamasapano bloodbath, even as it scored the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) for failing to control its forces.
In a statement, the group led by Chairman and President retired Army LTGen. Edilberto Adan said the killing of more than 40 elite cops in Maguindanao “cannot be justified even under the current protocols of the peace process between the Government and the MILF.”
The group said the tragedy “underscores deeply the need to examine closely the security implications of any final agreement with any armed rebel group like the MILF.”
AGFO pointed out that Moro rebels also participated in the Al Barka ambush in 2011 that left several Army Scout rangers dead as well as other skirmishes.
AGFO said the MILF can’t or has limited control over its soldiers, as can be gleaned from the presence of rogue commanders.
“When the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) under Commander Kato broke away from its ranks, the MILF leadership failed to take disciplinary action against it. Now their forces are living together in the same area. The MILF leadership must prove that it exercises authority and discipline over its commanders. Since the objective is peace, the Government should be talking with the entity that has control of elements who can wage war,” Adan said.
AGFO is comprised of 800 members, mostly retired and active duty generals and flag-ranked officers from the AFP, the PNP, Philippine Coast Guard, Bureau of Jail Management and the Bureau of Fire Protection.
The AGFO earlier asked an ad hoc committee at the House of Representatives to include in the Bangsamoro law the disarmament and demobilization of MILF forces.
It opposed the creation of a security force that can’t be controlled by the AFP and PNP.
AGFO is calling for the observance of a one-week national mourning.
Adan said flags should be flown at half mast throughout the country for one week, "to show the abhorrence of the nation and show support to the rule of law and the nation's men in uniform. The Government should demand the return of all firearms stolen from the dead policemen and for the MILF leadership to surrender the perpetrators within their ranks."
