Partnership and Progressive Peace Talks

Natatawa ako sa gobyerno na eto. Gumagawa ng public consultation for compliance purposes lang, hindi naman kino-consider ang suggestions ng mamamayan, mga technocrats pa rin ng imperial manila ang masusunod. Ang pinaka bastos, ay ang Professional Regulation Commission, nag-conduct ng public consultation, 5 times sinabi sa mga tao: "we welcome your unsolicited advice".

Etong si PNoy, nag open ng Facebook Page niya at inannounce pa niya na gagawn niya etong mechanism para marinig ang mga hinaing nga mga Pilipino. Naging excited ang Pilipino sa napakagandang venue for feedback mechanism. Pero nang sinubukan natin kung RESPONSIVE ba ang venue na eto, nakita natin na HINDI. Samakatuwid, ventilation mechanism lang pala ang purpose ng page para ma reduce ang pressure ng protests.

Sa national level naman, busy sila sa kaka-lobby ng panibagong RH Bill na gusto pondohan ng gobyerno ang pamudmud ng libreng condom sa mga tangkataohan. Eh nung tinanong ko ang mga baranggay health workers, hindi nga pasok sa top-ten high priority healthcare supplies ang condom. Ang mga mahihirap sabi nila ang hanap nila ay job or business opportunities, hindi condom.

QUESTION: Sir John, how can you prove that it is MNLF who leads in protecting Bangsamoro Land? ANSWER: Read the MNLF-GRPH Agreements at mga batas sa Pilipinas na nagawa para sa ARMM. You can read between the lines of these agreements and laws that the MNLF Negotiators are the ones fighting and begging for legal provisions that will protect the interest of the Bangsamoro People.

Eto naman ARMM, gumagawa ng public consultations and civil society dialogues. Hindi pala para consultahin ang mga tao, kundi para ipunin ang mga tao at ikampanya ang mga politiko na nilolobby nila para sa openning nga bagong ARMM administration this August 2011. Buti sana kung may maayos na platform etong mga politiko na eto, eh wala rin, like a canned good with a fancy packaging pero walang laman.

1976 pa ang Tripoli Agreement ng MNLF and Philippine Government. Hanggang ngayon, walang nangyayaring mabuti sa Mindanao habang eto ay nasa ilalim ng pamamahala ng Pilipinas. After pinahirapan ng 35 years, ngayon i-depopulate na ang Mindanao ng RH Bill. Kung walang honor at hindi sumusunod sa agreements ang Philippine Government, bakit pa ipapatuloy ang talks?

Dapat ang ginawa ng MNLF Negotiators, ginawa nilang phase by phase ang implemetation and every six months ang period. Wala dapat talks pag meron pang pending workload ang implementation ng previous agreements. Dapat automatic suspend ang peace agreement pag hindi satisfactory ang implementation for the past six months. Imagine, 35 years walang nangyayaring implementation!

xxxxx

Despite the MNLF-GRPH Final Peace Agreement, the very reason why the GRPH can never implement a development plan smoothly in Mindanao is because it continued suppressing the MNLF instead of treating it a PARTNER of development -- 35 years walang nangyayaring maganda sa Mindanao dahil sa GRPH monopoly.

Hindi sustainable ang American society. Naturally, the most hated nation becomes the most insecure nation, and it spends much on publicities just to be loved.
