MUSLIMS CHRISTIANS AND LUMAD SUPPORTS DUTERTE FOR PRESIDENT

MINDANAO WIDE PEACE SUMMIT & DECLARATION OF ALLIANCES TO SUPPORT DUTERTE FOR PRESIDENT

      Decades have passed since the very first Moro resistance was waged against the Philippine government, driven by the desire to emancipate from the oppression and marginalization of the Moro people in their own homeland. Since then, countless of Moro freedom fighters have already fought to the grave, yet the Bangsamoro dream longed and fought by my Moro brothers and sisters remain unfulfilled.

         At present, the struggle for emancipation continues. However, this time, we (the Moros) are not alone. This time, our fellow aborigines and heirs of Mindanao, the Lumads, as well as the Christian sympathisers of the Bangsamoro cause who have long been sons and daughters of Mindanao have joined us in fighting for the common objective of liberating the Mindanawan people from oppression, injustice, and underdevelopment.

          We, the people of Mindano, have come to the realisation that this is not  only the battle of the Moros but the battle of the Mindanawan people in putting an end on the age-long neglect and oppression of the national government towards our people.

          We desire to have a kind of government wherein the needs and interests of our people are genuinely addressed, a type of governance wherein the people themselves are empowered and motivated to mainstream their diverse interests, and a government system whereby our people shall be able to feel and benefit on the economic undertakings they have employed in their localities - a call for Federalism.

          This political objective would remain unrealised unless we will have a  leader/public servant who holds similar vision and aspiration for our people. And today, we are honoured and grateful that there is somebody who understands the battle we are fighting for (as Mindanawans) and is willing to spearhead the change we have longed for. Now, there is a brave soul who is willing to hurdle and transform the Manila-centric politics of our country. Now, there is a selfless man who is willing to dedicate his twilight years in rendering public service not only to the Dabawenyos but to all Filipinos - regardless of race, ethnicity, beliefs, and tradition.

          Thus, as Mindanawans, it is not a choice but it must be incumbent for us to support  Mayor Duterte for he is fighting for our battle and cause. 

          In the end, if Mindanao is the land of promise, we (the sons and daughters of Mindanao) should fight to experience and feel the promise brought by our very own homeland; this can only be initially attained by supporting Mayor RODRIGO ROA DUTERTE for PRESIDENT!

          Assalamu alaykum! Peace be upon us!
