Bangsamoro, to appease the never-ending war?

Now this is going to be my first entry here in this blog that will tackle issues, current and hot issues that are circling around the surface of the earth. This blog contains personal views which i believe i'm allowed. I'm open for correction for my improvement of course.

Week had passed since that "never-ending tale of accomplishments and promises", as people would qoute, was delivered. The 8th SONA was welcomed with thousands of criticisms as PGMA insisted to have E-VAT remained as believed it's the reason behind our continuing progress. Continuing progress which for the people has never been obviouse as prices never fall and hunger is still beating every poor filipino family. But how does it happen that the dollar rate gets better but the poverty scenes get worser?

Ironic I would say and I would relate that to one of PGMA's proposals for this year. The announcement of having the text messaging amount to 50 cents really made everyone wonder "What's the connect?". Why not have the oil price lowered to 50 cents per liter instead? Or maybe asked this big money-making telecommunication companies to donate that amount to pay our international debt? Funny thought I know but it might work. But I doubt they would have that trust to bring their attache case of billions or a piece of cheque on the corrupt table of the government. Or maybe they can ask for a reciept as proof.

But days after that real talk-of-the-town SONA, an issue is bursting in the airwaves of phil. A new state, as they say, BANGSAMORO as its name, is about to evolve after a negotiation was done by the government with one of the rebel groups of the country, MILF. Accordingly, it's not really giving up mindanao rather expanding the area or property of the ARMM Region or the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao which the rebel was asking for ever since. And with that we are assured that peace will reign as they it is.

But the real issue here is why is such plan being kept that resulted to shocking reactions by the leaders of the provinces,municipalities and barangays who are included in the list. Why did they not inform them or asked their opinion about it? And that makes people wonder that this might be HER way to pursue HER black propagada for the 2010 election. Only she knows.

So will this really appease the never-ending war here in Mindanao and in our country? I can't give a word as I can't have my trust for both parties. Rebels will always be rebels and they will always do horror if they want. What if they would ask for another stuff and again initiate war or kidnap just to have it. Same with the idea of "no-ransom" rule for them not to be tolerated but it seems the government is giving up these areas in mindanao that serve as ransom. Can they really assure that these men are to follow what they have agreed and signed?

For the government, I can never tell what's on their mind but I can smell a little of goodness to redeem the country from this never-ending war. But are there no other ways?

For the meantime, the signing of agreement to be done in Malaysia today has been cancelled after a restraining order was submitted by the leaders of the said areas to the Supreme Court. A relief for the moment for everybody. All I hope is the government could think better than this. Let's have our finger-crossed for this.
