Mindanao is Not a Scary Place

Beset with so much overwhelming bad news and reports like constant terroristic bombings on public places, Abu Sayyaf’s random kidnapping spree, Muslim and communists leftist groups constant war with Philippine military forces, and constant defamation of Islam religion by mainstream Christian media around the world wherein Islam is the known dominant religion on Mindanao Philippines, one who is not familiar and not inhabitant of Mindanao Philippines will wonder how wrecked is the government in Mindanao or one will be conclusive to think that local governments in Mindanao are terribly in bad management. But is it if one knows the heart of this region of the Philippines?

Former Galing Pook Awardees during PGMA admin.

Yes, amidst all these bad news proliferating on mainstream media and on Christian indoctrination against Islam about Mindanao, one will be astound to know that Mindanao’s local governments has been winning the most commendable places with effective good governmental programs in the Philippines in the “Galing Pook Awards”; just recently this year, among the 15 finalist, five of local government units of Mindanao bagged the awards, namely, the provinces of Misamis Oriental, Surigao Del Sur, Zamboanga del Norte, Cagwait Surigao del Sur and Dumingag Zamboanga Del Sur. Prior to these latest awardees, there are also places or provinces in Mindanao that has won the “Galing Pook Awards”; these are, Sulu, Kapatagan Lanao Del Sur, Wao Lanao Del Sur, Bongao Tawi-Tawi, Upi Maguindanao, and South-Western Ligwasan Alliance of municipalities in Maguindanao.

These latest awardees won by their effective governmental programs like the former winners as follows:

With these good reports regarding local government management in Mindanao, we can conclude that Mindanao Philippines is not a bad place or region in the Philippines contrary to bad news being reported on mainstream media and Muslim people are no war freaks as what Christian preachers try to paint to their followers.

Filipino Muslims and the PNP

How the Filipinos treating their Muslim brethren? The Philippines being a predominant Catholic and Christian country, it can’t help but inherit the millennial bestial-like hatred of Catholicism and Christianity against the Islam world; wow, what a legacy of “Christ”’s evilness? Thus, in response, Muslim retaliate with their jihads or holy wars to depend themselves, so also what Muslim extremist in the Philippines and all over the world is doing. Muslims felt maltreated and violated of their own rights; their own right to believe what they want to believe, to establish their own community centered on Islam faith, etc.

Filipino Muslims

They are always in the fighting mood just the Muslim extremists in Southern Mindanao are of the Philippines which are name as the Abu Sayyaf group wherein the Philippine government persistently make war and so called “make peace pact”? But of course, these Muslim groups never agreed to the peaceful pact because the pact will be bias to Catholic and Christian faith in the country and will only put their Islam faith being treaded upon ruthlessly. Me, also I don’t trust Catholic and Christian priests because they are “wolves in sheep’s clothing” pretending to be good outwardly but deep within them is a beast that is secretly devouring your soul and pushing you into the graves of hell; Using “Christ” and “god” to exploit financially, materially, and spiritually ignorant and gullible people who blindly worship Christian faith.

By the way, recently because of the great shame the Aquino government has gain from the bloody fiasco of the August 23 bus hostage incident, is it right to put their great disappointment and bitterness against their Muslim brethren in Mindanao just to bring the good image they have formerly have during their political campaign?

In a recent reports, they boast that the Special Action Force created by the Philippine National Police(PNP) have killed an Abu Sayyaf commander name Gafur Jumdail, which indeed ironic and funny that they boast another killing and bloodshed done by the Philippine National Police which indeed really prove their ‘killing expertise”. How I wonder why recent reports deny that it was not the sniper gun of the SWAT team that has killed the hostage taker, are they playing underdog to excuse the mistakes of the Philippine National Police of killing the hostage taker? What they are trying to imply that the SWAT team is not expert on target shooting whereas, they recently boast they have killed an Abu Sayyaf leader, that the hostage taker is the one who killed himself? What is this, a whitewash?

The Abu Sayyaf Group

Anyway regarding the slain Abu Sayyaf leader,the Special Action Force reported that Gafur Jumdail and his two slain followers have links to the worldwide Al-qaida network popularized by the United States, wherein the United States have deployed hundreds of troops to Mindanao Philippines to help the Filipino soldiers fight back and hopefully annihilate the Abu Sayyaf group.

Filipino Soldiers

With what is happening around the world in dealing with the Muslim world, it only shows that this fight or war of the Philippines against its fellow Muslim brethren and the fight of America against what they branded Muslim terrorist groups is rooted on war on faith or war of religion or misunderstanding of religious belief systems that has become magnified and incur innocent victims around the world.

So where these war in religions begins and what was the reason for this seemingly unending fight or war?

Furthermore, not only the Muslims were on the rocks against the ruling global elites but also the Jewish race which the main reason also for the fighting is their contrasting religious beliefs.

Tawi-Tawi Philippines, a Wild Haven

Far from the focal point of civilization and hubris of cityhood of the respective regions of the Philippine archipelago, Tawi Tawi Philippines has been the haven or sanctuary of most wild life on the bottom south of the Philippines specifically its wild faunas.

Tourists and Visitors were impressed of Tawi-Tawi’s natural zoo and exotic world which can be mainly seen at Sibutu-Sitangkai Island Groups of Tawi-Tawi Philippines.
