Malacañang has ordered an investigation into how Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) chairman Nur Misuari was able to sneak out of the country even though his passport had long been cancelled.

"Since that is a violation of the cancellation of the passport, we will look into the circumstance ng paglabas niya sa bansa [We will look into the circumstances on how he was able to leave the country]," said Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Herminio "Sonny" Coloma Jr. in a media briefing on Tuesday.

Misuari is already in Guinea, according to the MNLF chairman’s spokesperson Emmanuel Fontanilla.

"Nasa OIC (Organization of Islamic Conference) na po 'yong ating mahal na propesor... Doon na po siya sa Guinea…” Fontanilla told dzMM radio on Tuesday.
[Our beloved professor is already at the Organization of Islamic Conference…He’s already in Guinea.]

Misuari is attending the OIC foreign ministers’ meeting and is looking for a “peaceful solution” to the conflicts in the Philippines, according to Fontanilla.

Misuari and his men are facing rebellion charges for attacking Zamboanga City in September that left hundreds of people dead and millions worth of properties damaged.
Government forces have been searching for his whereabouts after the Zamboanga City siege.
