Philippine presidential candidate Eddie Villanueva making deals with rebels? Vows to hand over Mindanao

Bro. Eddie Villanueva of the Bangon Pilipinas Party (BPP) headed the signing of a pact vowing to pursue a federal form of government in Mindanao, which was witnessed by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). This is said to be their permanent solution to the ongoing conflict in the region.

Quoted from the article:

"In the covenant, signed by Villanueva, all Bangon Pilipinas senatorial candidates as witnessed by Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) spokesperson Eid Kabalu, the party pledged to pursue the autonomy of the region “giving its right to self-determination within the framework of the Constitution.”"

MILF is a rebel group that has been trying to "conquer" Mindanao for quite some time now. Do you think that Villanueva's covenant is a good move? Is Mindanao getting handed over to the rebels? Speak your mind here: XroNet Forums
