Op/Ed piece by Amando Doronila in the Philippine Daily Inquirer (Oct 26): What’s Bangsamoro? (Part 1)
The signing of the Framework Agreement between the Philippine government and
the Moro Islamic Liberation Front on Oct. 15 establishing a new autonomous
Muslim homeland in Mindanao, called Bangsamoro, officially ended more than 40
years of internecine wars in the country’s largest island region.... Not all were ecstatic, however. Some critics in the press excoriated the
agreement as the “roadmap to the dismemberment of the republic.” But in my view,
the President is not an agent for the dismantling of the territorial integrity
of this country to accommodate the demands of irredentist rebels seeking wide
latitudes of autonomy from the central government. It is from this perspective
that this space is examining the agreement....
