MILF to form political party for 2016 elections |
2014-10-30 |
A senior member of the MILF has confirmed they would form a political party for the 2016 election. MILF spokesman Mohagher Iqbal said, "We have already started to organize the MILF political party because as a group coming from a conflict situation to a peace settlement equation, we have to engage in regular political exercise — meaning not through the bullets anymore but through the ballot." Iqbal admitted they have yet to determine which candidates will run in the May 2016 election. Filipinos are to elect President Aquino's successor, 12 senators, congressmen, governors as well as mayors and councilors in the May 2016 election. |

#1 You knew they would. The rise = threat? of a poten Muslim or Islamist-controlled Philippines can no longer be denied or put off. Looks like Nuclear Islam's competition wid CHINA's to control the Pacific [Guam-WESTPAC = minima 1/2?] the Pacific slowly but surely grows stronger??? |
