MNLF and MILF are Traditionally United

TO THE SURPRISE of the wary publics, the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) are traditionally unified in their ranks, and they rally their efforts and act jointly for any development (peaceful or otherwise) among the Bangsamoro people. This fact is not directly known by the Philippine government, but out of pieced up Intelligence and Moro beat findings.
These two seemingly estranged groups categorically support each other with unfaltering ancestral conviction, and with a constantly growing concern for the urgent need for unity against the United States of America and the Philippine government.
The MN-MI concerted efforts had all these years contributed in the achievement of crafty unity, strength and perseverance against local, national and international "persecutions".
Every now and then they make it a point to mutually monitor each other for safety and stability.
Actually, their prime support for each other is the mutual sharing of armaments and manpower in times of struggle against the Philippine government. This is not an unusual phenomenon since both rebel groups were not essentially depribed of their guns and ammunitions by the Peace Pact Treaty.
Both rebel groups likewise perform occasional fellowships to discuss and plan on matters of consequence that affect both groups.
Beat reports further revealed that high ranking officials of both camps have strictly clandestine talks with members of international rebel groups through visiting foreign rebel mentors who pose as tourists or as spouses of Filipinas.
Beat respondents, however, did not say whether the MNLF, MILF and the other rebel groups shall gracefully accept the Extent of "Ancestral Rights" Offering of the Philippine government involving the Peace Pact demand, as facilitated by the OIC, in the months-long meeting to be continued in local, national and international venues.
The meeting was actually scheduled for July of this year, but it was set in abeyance due to the legal absence of MNLF chairman Nur Misuari.
Misuari is still in detention due to the rebellion charges filed against him by the Philippine government, for his active role in the gory fightings in Jolo two years ago that killed scores of persons and wounded several others.
BLESSED ADMITTANCE
When asked to comment on the OIC effort to "reconcile" both rebel groups, an MILF high-ranking officer said that "this is indeed a positive development".
However, he stressed that there is no need to try to reconcile them as "they only seem not in speaking terms---but they oftenly meet to plan out strategies for the promotion of Bangsamoro's common good".
