Outer 12 under the Misuari wing of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) has
declared full support for the agreement, which their leader described as
“illegal and a recipe for war.” Abdulmanan Manalasal, MNLF Nascom-12
brigade commander based in this town, said in an interview their only wish was
for the government to not forget the 1996 peace agreement. Manalasal, 46, reminded the government
