Two hundred forty one active members and nine commanders of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) abandoned the armed struggle for a separate Muslim state in Mindanao and formally pledged allegiance to the government yesterday.

The ceremony was held at headquarters of the 4th Infantry division at Camp Edilberto Evangelista, in Cagayan de Oro City.

Major Gen. Cristolito Balaoing, commander of the 4th Infantry "Diamond" Division, said the rebels also turned over to the government 140 high-powered firearms, including five 60 mm mortars and two 40 mm M-79 grenade launchers.

According to Balaoing, the rebels who surrendered to the military by batches previously operated in Lanao del Norte and Cotabato City.

Balaoing said the MILF rebels surrendered to the military even before the government and the MILF agreed to reconvene for formal peace negotiations. The surrender was part of back-channeling efforts facilitated by Malacañang.

Among the prominent commanders who yielded to the authorities last June 15 was Commander Guiling Lucsadatu, alias Lucky 7, of the Bangsa Moro Islamic Armed Forces (BMIAF), whose men were operating in Lanao del Norte and Lanao del Sur.

Lucsudatu brought along with him his loyal followers including 44 firearms and explosives ranging from caliber .30 Garand rifles to carbines.

A relative, Commander Mudski, reportedly the major combatant and strike force of MILF leader Commander Axapala, and his loyal followers also surendered to Army troops.

Late last month, MILF leader Amano Gachalia, alias "Aman", along with his 15 field commanders and their firearms also surrendered to Army authorities in Lanao del Norte. Gachalia has served the MILF leadership for seven years.

In Lanao de Sur, Balaoing said that another batch of 31 MILF rebels headed by Commander Mosib Rama, MILF’s 501st Brigade Division commander, yielded to the Army authorities in the area.

In Cotabato City, 25 MILF rebels under Commander Tony Sumilalao Sapalon and MILF’s Brigade Commander Dante Dindo Adal, also yielded to the government troops and turned in 25 high-powered firearms on June 24 to Maj. Gen. Generoso Senga, Army Commander of the Army’s 6th Infantry Division.

Sorry to report that I don't have any hands on or practical experience with this particular subject. So I have no idea if they are real or not. But her body type might support the thesis that they are natural.

Another excellent example:

There are many Muslims in Mindanao, but the majority of the residents are Christian.

There are a few nearby islands that are majority Muslim, Jolo and Basilan are the large ones.

There were historical conflicting claims between the Philippines and Malaysia, mainly in that because of the historical rights of the Sultan of Sulu there was a Philippine claim to Northeast Borneo. This has long since been resolved in favor of Malaysia.

glad to see this thread has nabbed all the "usual suspects"....

...and welcome back to the "light".

Man...dog days in the city with no power is stifling....i remember manhole covers booming off like cannons downtown.

No problem here. After traveling by foot, bus and ferry from Manhattan through SI to Brooklyn, I was greeted by an informal block party and drank beer with my neighbors in the dark.

This party, btw, could've used some MILFs. We were noticeable short on the hot women quotient and my male Greek next door neighbor doesn't exactly do it for me.

You know, I had a totally different idea of what MILF meant.

[lentulusgracchus]

This is a good development. The commanders came in with their battalion.

Wonder if the help we've been quietly giving the Filipino government had anything to do with it?

This needs to be propagated throughout Mindanao and the other southern islands.

this thread is bringing out all the riffraff...

try a google search for milf hunter, at your own risk, of course.

I would vote for Hon Lee.

I thought he was talking about a home game, not an online game.

Depending on the people at the table, some nights we play for small money and allow all in, and rebuys. When we play for larger stuff we have limits.

Since this took place in the PI, I'd guess that the MILFs were also LBFMs?

Yeah, but you do it for him.

(Uncomfortable silence as he moves a little closer)
