THE Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) is not intimidated by the thousands of members of the Reform the Ilaga Movement who are all armed with high caliber weapons, said MILF civil military relations chief Eid Kabalu.
"Kung mga daga sila pusa naman kami, di namin sila aatrasan kong mapang-abot ang aming puwersa sa North Cotabato o kahit saang bahagi ng Mindanao. Sila ang terorista gumikan sa gihimo sa maong grupo niadtong 1970 (They are the terrorist for what they did back in 1970)," Kabalu said.
Kumander Doruelo of the Ilaga group dared Kabalu to come out in the open and not hide under the skirts of her grandmother, so he will experience the sting of a rat.
Kumander Mike Santiago, spokesperson of the Ilaga Movement, in an interview with Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita and Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Ronaldo Puno aired over Bombo Radyo Cotabato, said that it is the MILF that should be disarmed not them, since they defend innocent civilians against the atrocities of the MILF in Aleosan and Midsayap, Cotabato.
The group has not been active but has resurrected again in the wake of the attacks of the Kumander Ameril Ombra Kato in North Cotabato, which also affected the family and members of the Ilaga group. (Edgardo Fuerzas)
