Because the ironic thing is, the Bangsamoro are better of with "us" than with "them". How many plebiscites do you need to see that even the Bangsamoro don't want to return to the "sacred inequality" of the old dispensation, a "golden age" actually based on a political economy of human trafficking and slavery. Hate for America was something Constantino and Joma and Nur Misuari convinced our generation about. Know why ALL Visayans are Catholics. It's because that was preferable to their ancestors than to be carried off in one of the annual slave raids and be sold into slavery in Borneo or the Moluccas, or to become a part of some rajah's harem. I used to think like you, Angela. But please, really, study the real history of Mindanao. I know you'll see it with fresh eyes, and not blindly accept the received wisdom of political correctness.

It's a cultural thing daw, exploited by warlords down there. One problem is that even their own leaders use them as imperial Manila uses Mindanao.
