From the pro-CPP Bulatlat (Oct 22): Groups question sincerity of Aquino gov’t in announcing agreement with MILF
The supporters and fighters of the Bangsamoro people may have the trust and allegiance of progressive peoples’ organizations in the Philippines, but apparently, not the Aquino government. From these groups’ study of the recently signed framework agreement between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Government of the Philippines (GPH), more questions are raised than answered over the plight of the Moro people and their quest for self-determination. Worse, they expressed fears that it will not just be the Moro people who may be further disadvantaged under the agreement, but the rest of the Filipino people, too.... Aside from it missing three key issues which are to be included as annexes, “The Framework Agreement is NOT yet the final GPH-MILF Peace Agreement. It is a preliminary Agreement that sets the principles, concepts and direction of the still to be crafted final GPH-MILF Peace Agreement,” said the Moro-Christian People’s Alliance (MCPA) in a statement.

The Moro Christian People's Alliance (MCPA) is a CPP-affiliated front organization. The CPP along with its front groups have taken a negative propaganda tack with regard to the GRP-MILF Framework Agreement. As noted in my previous comments, it is in the interest of the CPP to keep the MILF in the field as a viable insurgent force. Ceaesfire and peace agreements will ultimately free up Philippine military units to go after the New People's Army, the armed wing of the CPP.
