A bit off-topic but here’s a photo from Oct 2018. I was able to attend an event honoring former President Fidel Ramos (also attended by President Duterte). Delegates from around the country were there. The Bangsamoro group had their own table. While I’ve visited a variety of Moro areas on Mindanao, I feel much more welcome with my Tboli and Blaan friends. Nevertheless, having just arrived that morning from Mindanao myself, I felt an urge to acknowledge and provide a warm greeting to this friendly group from the south. Glad I did.

In my experience the vast majority of BangksaMoro people are not interested in violence, but they do have a strong passion for autonomy and freedom for their religion and culture. This has led over the last few centuries to conflicts with the Spanish, Americans, and the Government of the Philippines. Coming from a freedom loving country, it is hard for me not to have some sympathy for the Moro position. We can only hope that the Muslim peoples of the southern Philippines can arrive at a solution for their governance that satisfies them and the Philippines government. Ian. |
