Friends,
An update on the Muslim uprising in the Philippines, it is
an official statement from the City mayor of Zamboanga, read it and take
note on the amount of weapons the enemy had. Amazing that in a country
where guns are outlawed they were able to amass such an arsenal. This
is a perfect example of how gun control works.
Below that statement
is a link about…. women snipers? YES women snipers. In most Muslim
countries women can't vote, drive a car and most are covered head to toe
but these Muslim women can sure handle a gun. It sure brings new
meaning to the phrase we have you covered at least for woman in Muslim
countries.
I guess some things are universal. Filipinos were joking
about how could the policemen who most are fat and older chase the
younger MNLF? In the US it’s from too many donuts, over there may be
too much rice.
Please read this and pass it on.

Jimenez Jr., Associate Prosecution Attorney Nicolas L. Apolinario Jr.
and City Procesutor Ricardo G. Cabaron, filed the charges before the
Zamboanga Regional Trial Court last Monday, October 7.
In the
three separate information filed in court, Misuari and his men are
accused of rebellion for “conspiring and confederating together,
mutually aiding and assisting with one another and also with others
whose whereabouts and identities are still unknown, did then and there
willfully, unlawfully and feloniously, help, support, promote, maintain,
cause, direct, and/or command the said group to rise publicly and take
arms against the Republic of the Philippines, or otherwise participate

the allegiance to the Philippine government or its laws, part of its
national territory the City of Zamboanga, specifically the barangays of
Mariki, Rio Hondo, Sta. Barbara, Sta. Catalina, Kasanyangan, Talon-Talon
and Mampang”.
“The MNLF Misuari faction, consisting of more or
less 500 members under the leadership and command of its Chairman
NURULAJI P. MISUARI a.k.a. “NUR MISUARI” and under the ground command
leadership of accused USTADZ HABIER MALIK, BAS ARKI, ASSAMIN HUSSIN, and
several other commanders coming from their respective strongholds in
the provinces of Basilan, Sulu, and Sibugay, the City of Zamboanga and
other parts of the Zamboanga Peninsula…have in fact risen publicly and
taken arms to attain the said purpose by then and there making attacks
against the Philippine National Police and the Armed Forces of the
Philippines as well as innocent civilians, as a necessary means to
commit the crime of rebellion; and in connection therewith and in
furtherance thereof, have then and there committed acts of murder,
pillage, disorder, looting, arson and destruction of private and public
properties.”
The accused were “all armed with high caliber

the Common Article 3 to the Four (4) Geneva Conventions of 12 August
1949, (1) by committing acts of violence against the lives and persons
of the residents, mainly of the afore-stated barangays, and in some
instances of other barangays, and who did not take active part in the
armed hostilities, and (2) by taking non-combatant civilians as
hostages, in particular, by rounding up more or less 300 persons, who
were then held together as hostages and detained randomly in buildings
and houses which are
also located in barangays”.
The
information continues: “while the above-named accused were engaged in
armed combat with the government forces, and during the captivity of the
non-combatant civilians as hostages covering the period beginning from
September 9 to 30, 2013, the same resulted in more or less twelve (12)
total number of deaths and more or less seventy five (75) total number
of serious injuries to innocent civilians”.
The MNLF founding
chairman and his co-accused have “committed serious violations of the
laws and customes applicable in armed conflict, within the established
framework of international law namely: Intentionally directing attacks
against the civilian population as such or against individual civilians
not taking direct part in the hostilities, that is, by forcibly opening
houses and other dwellings and attacking the occupants thereof; and, at
the same time, by taking about three hundred (300) occupants as
hostages”. The same group also “further utilized their presence to
render certain points and areas immune from military operations, that
is, and more particularly by employing the same as human shields at the
forefronts of Lustre Drive, Sta. Barbara and Martha Drive, Sta.
Catalina, this City, thereby effectively thwarting any offensive and
counter-offensive actions from the AFP-PNP Forces” and “in attacking
dwellings or buildings which are
undefended and which are not
military objectives deliberately burned said structures which resulted
in a conflagration of more or less Nine Thousand Seven Hundred Thirty
Two (9,732) houses and buildings, public and private, causing damage in
an estimated costs of Two Hundred One Million Twenty Three Thousand
Pesos (P201,023,000.00)”.
Chairman Misuari, commanders Malik, Hussin and Arki as well as several John and Jane Does continue to be at-large.
The
justice department did not recommend bail for offenses under RA 9851 as
well as for the leaders in the rebellion/insurrection while a bail
amounting to P200,000.00 was recommended for each member/follower of the
rebellion/insurrection. (Claudine Uniana/City Hall PIO)
