Your remarks only confirm the naked truth that the Filipinos are the world’s worst racists. And since it is national knowledge that the Tagalog-speaking inhabitants of this impoverished country, the Philippines, are the only Filipinos and since we Cebuano-speaking peoples are not one of your kind, then it is but correct to state that we, Cebuano language-speaking peoples are not Filipinos but subjects of that imperial Philippines. Branded us second class citizens, we have every right to fight for our independence and eventually secede from your beloved Philippines of which I am not proud. If you have an innate dislike for the people of the Cebuano-speaking areas of Bohol, Cebu, Leyte, Southern Leyte, Samar Region, Camiguin, Negros Oriental, and Mindanao, then your Filipino common sense dictates that you should not venture outside the imperial metropolitan area or the greater Tagalog-speaking region and visit Cebu province. It is safe to say you do not even wish to come into contact with someone of Visayan descent. Miss Pilita Corales is of Visayan extraction. Will you also taunt her? You need to be re-educated Mr. ColdKing. I pity you because your god created you. You are his worst creation! I would love to see the Visayan provinces secede from that Philippine Republic and when the war of independence is declared, I would look forward to seeing you in the battlefront along with your infamous Tagalog-speaking Filipino soldiers and your allies.

The Urban Moccasin

While he wants the region of Mindanao to remain intact, which idea is shared by all other like-minded individuals, I strongly propose secession from the Republic of the Philippines and the partition of the island into two sectors. The Moors should have their own republic, or whatever they call their country and it will be made up of the Islamic-influenced provinces of Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi. The Christians and the native peoples will make up the republic comprising the predominantly Christian provinces and areas. A demarcation line must be drawn between the two sectors defining their borders and a wall must be constructed to forever separate the Moors and the non-Moors, who can never co-exist in this part of the world. The Christians and Moslems in Singapore can co-exist and there is no question about it but the Christians and the Moors in Mindanao, which Moors are totally different from the Malay Moslems and Moslems in the First World countries, cannot co-exist. That is a fact only the ignoramuses cannot accept. If the Albanian, Russian, or Chinese Moslems are different, the so-called Mindanao-based Moors are much more different, and if you let these groups live together, the latter, who have a predilection to murder anyone they consider not one of their kind, will exterminate the former. With their bizarre culture as a basis, a wall similar to the Great Wall of China must be erected to separate the two nations and prevent those people who, since childhood, have been taught to despite, hate, and eliminate the “infidels” in Mindanao – the Christians and non-Islamic influenced natives.

The Moors living in Christian-occupied areas must be uprooted and shipped back to their homeland, Bangsamoro, or Republic of Moorland or Republic of the Moors, or whatever they choose to call their nation. All vestiges of Moorish influence in Christian areas must be removed and anything related to the Moorish people must be exterminated. Similarly, the Christians living in the Moro-controlled areas must move to the Christian republic and those Christians who refuse to leave the Moorish areas must not be forced. Those with Christian-Moro blood must decide between joining the Christian Republic in the North and fighting on the side of the Moorish Republic in the South. Those who choose to be on the side of the Moors should forever be prevented from entering and seeking refuge in the Christian-controlled areas. The construction of a wall, which will later become a classic symbol of separation between the two groups, will serve this purpose. Sea borders must be tightly guarded to prevent or stop any future Moorish intrusions or aggressions.

Us here; them there.

The Christians and the non-Christian natives and other ethnic groups must not have any dealings with them at all and must not meddle in the Moorish affairs.

The Moors must be left to their own fate. Let them stand on their own! Let the Moors have their own homeland. After all, this is what they have always longed for. Give them what they want and let them alone.

Since they have their Moro Islamic Liberation Front, Moro National Liberation Front, and the Abu Sayyaf, as well as other minor groups, they can work for their independence. I see no intelligent reason why that Republic of the Philippines, an overseas territory of the United States of America, cannot and will not grant them what they have been fighting for. After all, the separation of those Moors is the beginning of peace and stability in Christian-controlled or influenced-areas.

The non-Moorish and, therefore, Christian-controlled portion of Mindanao must not be called “Republic of Mindanao”, for such name is not and will never be imposing. The term “Mindanao” connotes a negative meaning bordering or associated with banditry, kidnapping, or terrorism perpetrated by those infamous rebel organizations in the southern areas. I cannot imagine calling a citizen in the region “Mindanaon”; such nationality can only elicit complete shock, blank stares or even taunting from other nations. If I were to decide, I would call it “The Republic of Landwig” and the citizens would be called “Landwigians”.

The Republic of Landwig must not establish diplomatic ties with that Republic of the Philippines as such move will only be seen as recognition of the culture of neglect the Philippines has long nurtured and promoted in the region.

Dear Mr. Manolo,

2009 is the deadline for signatory states to UNCLOS to submit their delineation of the 200-nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), and not the deadline to pass a law on identifying our baselines. UNCLOS does not require us to submit or register or legislate our baselines. However, we are required – if it is our interest to keep our 200-nm EEZ (and I think should be our interest) – to delineate the said EEZ. Delineating our EEZ would require a set of base points and baselines that are/would be recognized by UNCLOS. UNCLOS came into force in 1982, and the baselines/points that we are using (based on the 1898 Treaty of Paris – Sen. Tolentino worked on RA 3046 in 1961, which was amended in 1968 (RA 5446)) need to redefined with respect to the Convention. The base points and baselines are important because they are our basis for demarcating our territorial sea, EEZ, continental shelf and others. And it is more important for us (than any other country) because the Philippines is one of the few “archipelagic states” under UNCLOS. Sen. Tolentino, who was our UNCLOS delegate, worked really hard on having the archipelagic doctrine recognized, which is a major contribution to one of the most binding international agreements that any international organization has ever produced. Archipelagic states enjoy special privileges for their strategic geographical features/properties. We have to do everything to secure this special position…and everything starts with the baselines. During the 13th Congress, Rep. Antonio Cuenco of Cebu filed House Bill No. 1202, seeking to define the country’s archipelagic base points. This bill has been revised and is now HB No. 3216. It passed second reading last week or two weeks ago.

It is virtually allowing the Chinese to exploit the oil reserves and other natural resources over and under the islands!

At times, the moron and the smart are on the same level, at times the smart is even at a lower level, being not only weak in faculties to fathom irony but also weak in sight to see that the proper channel is a one way street, and that the institutions are prostitutes.

“Why can’t Filipinos demand that the police and justices (instead of condemning the PRESIDENT, inclosed parenthesis mine)do their job?”

See?

Today, no Palaweno in his right mind would do it again. Never! Palawan even opted out to become part of the Moro autonomous govt.

Moros a minority in Mindanao? At that time, they were, but only in some provinces in the north and west (Bisayans and tribal groups were the majority group there).
