Former governor and now Vice Governor Abdulsakur Tan of Sulu had vowed to fight a propose bill filed in congress by former Sulu Representive Munir Arbison during his third and last term in congress to divide Sulu into two or three provinces. During the last election, Arbision ran for Sulu gubernatorial post but lost.
Governor Tan was quoted as saying, “That splitting Sulu would only cause disunity and dissension among the people and shall be the ‘stumbling block’ to peace and prosperity; People are being misled into believing that dividing Sulu into two or three provinces will bring more progress and funding support from the national government; and the proposed division will not bring good to the province particularly in the economic aspect. The interest of the people in Sulu must be the top priority over the other’s interest”.
Base on the set-up of the MILF Provincial Political Committee of Sulu the province is divided into three provinces, Central Sulu, Northern Sulu and Southern Sulu. The Provincial Committee sees the proposal as trying to undermine the strength of the MILF in Sulu and its mass-base.
Sulu has an area of 1,600 Square Kilometers and the 15th largest island province in the Philippine archipelago in terms of area and is classified as first class province in terms of income.
Given the scenario, the MILF in the province must strengthen its advocacy programs to gain more support from the populace and win Sulu for inclusion in the proposed Bangsamoro region.
