CAMP S.K. PENDATUN, Maguindanao -- The Philippine National Police-Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (PNP-ARMM) is studying the possibility of filing sedition charges against Moro rebel leader Nur Misuari following reports mentioning his unconstitutional declaration of independence in certain parts of Mindanao.
Only last week, various media outlets nationwide carried stories of Misuari allegedly declaring independence for the areas of Sabah, Sulu, Palawan and Zamboanga with Davao City as its seat of power.
“I have ordered the Sulu police provincial office to investigate the case thoroughly to find out the truth about the matter,” Chief Supt. Noel Delos Reyes said in an interview Monday.
Accordingly, Misuari had been criticizing the government’s signing of the Bangsamoro Framework Agreement with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front in a bid to downplay the Philippines historic claim to Sabah opposite Malaysia.
Misuari once led the mainstream Moro National Liberation Front that inked a final peace agreement with the national government on Sept. 2, 1996.
The Sulu police office is expected to submit its report today (Tuesday).
Early on, Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Gov. Mujiv Hataman said all 116 mayors in the region have remained loyal to the Constitution and its sovereignty.
He said all local chief executives in ARMM was unmoved by Misuari’s alleged actions and remain supportive of the GPH-MILF peace overture.
