Peace Talks With MILF and Clashes in Mindanao

Senator Biazon raised some concern on the peace talks initiated by the government with the MILF. He was alarmed on the failure of the MILF leaders to control their group. With the recent clashes between the government troops and the abu sayyaf, it was reported that some of the break-away members of the MILF gave support to the Abus which lead to the bloody encounter and claimed the lives of more than 20 soldiers. The worst thing is, many civilians were also reported as casualties.

The government should reassess their plans of keeping peace in MIndanao.
