MILF insists on Moro ‘sub-state’ in Mindanao

The secessionist Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) yesterday stood firm on its having a sub state in Mindanao, despite a Supreme Court decision thumbing down any proposal for the country to provide for a sub state for the secessionist group, saying that this is not allowed under the Constitution.
But the MILF yesterday vowed to push the establishment of a Bangsamoro sub-state during the peace negotiations with the Aquino administration, expected to resume next month.
MILF chief negotiator Mohagher Iqbal, however, admitted the secessionist leadership’s aim to put up a sub-state in Southern Philippines was not formalized in a proposal submitted for the resumption of the peace talks.
