MARTIAL LAW IN MORO AREAS
All peace-loving Moros, particularly those belonging to the Hand-To-Mouth economic level, must request the President return the MARTIAL LAW in all areas highly populated by Moros to stop once and for all the killings left and right in Mindanao.
DEATH OF KAMAONG VS LIFTED MARTIAL LAW
The police are hard up getting basic facts regarding the shooting-to-death-from-behind the head of Councilor Kamaong because the Martial Law was lifted in Maguindanao province. If not of the cries of all critics against President Arroyo, the Martial Law remains there and the death of Kamaong couldn't have happened. The critics against our very own President must be held RESPONSIBLE for all the deaths (only those caused by deadly weapons) in Maguindanao.
