MILF has 24 hours to leave ‘occupied’ N Cotabato areas

Source


Based on the article given, the authority is giving the MILF (Moro Islamic Liberation Front) 24 hours to leave the towns it has “forcibly” occupied in North Cotabato province or face police and military action. This sounds scary in the United States but here in the Philippines, I think the MILF leaders would just laugh out load at the authority. This is a good chance for the police and military to redeem thmselves. But frankly, I don't believe in the authority here in the Philppines because of the lack of training and experience. Some may be very experienced but we also lack facilities, armories and other things needed. We were once a powerful country and everyone followed the law. But these days, we are growing weaker and weaker every single year. I am not blaming everything to the government, but I also blame ourselves. That's life!
I am thinking that the 24 hour limit will not be followed by the MILF because I am pretty sure that the MILF can beat out our authority. But as just what I said a while ago, they have the chance to redeem themselves. If the MILF would follow the authority, then good for the authorities since they will have easier jobs. It is a good thing that the authority made action about this situation. They are willing to help our fellow countrymen in the south. I am thinking that if the MILF would follow the authority, it would be safer and more peaceful but if they don't, there will be more blood to shed. I hope that the military and police can redeem themselves and can make peace on our country.
