Datu Andal Ampatuan suspect in Maguindanao Massacre a close Arroyo ally


You ask me who is the real terrorist in Mindanao and without batting an eyelash, i'll say its Datu Andal Ampatuan, the governor of Maguindanao. And it's totally surprising why our fellow Muslim brothers and sisters in Mindanao, especially those Bangsamoros who are fighting for a separate Islamic state allow this political goon to live.

The massacre of about 36 people in Sharik Aguak town in Maguindanao reminds us that the problem is NOT TERRORISM---its the proliferation of political syndicates led by such characters as the Ampatuans and the Pangandamans that contributes to the further enslavement of the Bangsamoro people to poverty.

These warlords should be eradicated from the face of the earth. They put the Name of Islam in bad repute. They should not be allowed to enslave their fellow Muslims in Maguindanao and other areas. It is the duty of a pious Muslim to kill those who do not follow the precepts of Islam and those who kill with impunity, their fellow Muslims.

Ampatuan is the real terrorist in Mindanao. He should be stopped and killed. Rido demands it.

This massacre reminds us of how Ugandan leader Idi Amin exterminated whole villages who oppose his rule. Ampatuan is like Idi Amin.

And it is the fault of the national government, particularly Mrs. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo because they have tolerated and taken cared of these characters for so long. This administration has cuddled them like head lice that these people have become bigger, stronger and more brazen. They don't fear anybody because they have strong links with the palace. 

And I also blame the military. The Ampatuans and others like them grew in influence and power because they took care of them and use them in their counter-terrorism campaigns in Mindanao.

I challenge the national leadership, particularly the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP)---will you allow this political goon to further destroy democracy in Mindanao? Will you allow the Ampatuans to just get away with mass murder?

This massacre is another test on how strong the political will of this administration is. If the Ampatuans get away with this without a scratch, then, government is totally useless.

Mindanao needs a civil war to correct the decades of injustice wrought by these political clans. Let the war begin.

  1. Surely you are not suggesting that a civil war is going to correct any injustice. That would be just as insane as using gasoline to put out a fire. What you need is justice by the law not by any arbitrary gunman, cause that is what you're gonna get!

    Some peoples revolutionary dreams more often than not tends to become other peoples nightmares.

    Are you really a journalist and a teacher of History?

  2. "The strong shall live the weak shall die" - that is the only option in ARMMindanao and anywhere else were political families lord. They don't respect human rights and can't afford to toe civilized behavior. The barrel of the gun is their law and they deserve to die a coward's death - decapitation of their peXXs stuffed inside their mouths.

  3. "I am very very angry to this type of leader.The government should not only condemned this bloody violence, most especially to Datu Andal Ampatuan. Mrs. Arroyo should kick him out to his position right away and put him into prison including those responsible in that massacre.

  4. Nasan na po ang pagiging makatao, makabayan at makaDiyos ng bawat Pilipino? Bakit patuloy ang karahasan? Bakit parang wala na ang habag? Eprocurement software

  5. The Maguindanao Massacre is a testament to the kind of leaders we have...and the kind of people we have. For so long as we, the Filipino people, refuse to change our ways, the warlords and trapos will always be there. How can the Philippines change if the Filipino wont?... PINOY, MAKIALAM KA AT MAGMALASAKIT, yan lang ang sagot sa problema ng bayan mo.

  6. Ang dami na palang napatay nitong si Andal Ampatuan. Grabe. Currently, nasa 46 na daw yung death toll. Grabe talaga. Parang akong binabangungot! Ganito na ba talaga ka desperado yung mga pulitiko na yan para sa kapangyarihan? Pustahan tayo, mapapawalang-sala nanaman yang "datu" na yan, tulad ng ibang nakasuhang pulitiko. Kung hindi man, baka mapabayaan nanaman yang kaso na yan hanggang amagin nalang.

    Kung taga-Maguindanao lang ako, talagang pinapatay ko na 'yang sira ulong 'yan. Kaysa na marami pang mga inosenteng buhay ang ubusin niya. Kasi, kahit sabihin nating makulong 'yan. Malamang sa hindi magkaroon pa rin siya ng pagkakataong pumatay gamit yung bayaran niyang private army.

  7. the greatest terror to all mankind is not just one group or family or faith...IT IS GREED..greed that grows like cancer all around the world....the Philippines is just a microcosm of the downfall of democracy , wherever well meaning people strive to keep the dream of equality alive..there can be no true representation of the peoples will in a world where the top 10% of the worlds population controls 90% of the worlds wealth and the remaining 90% of the population struggle to survive on the crumbs that fall from the tables of the rich.
    it is time for world wide revolution..a rising up of the masses to stamp out these greedy pigs in the names of Jesus and Mohammad. In the name of truth and justice. Rise up ! "We The People" of the World !!

  8. Kung ako ang bibigyan ng pagkakataon na humusga sa mga pangyayare sa Mindanao ay ito ang masasabi ko; Itong si Datu Andal Ampatuan kapag napatunayang mastermind sa masacre, Dapat lang siyang parusahan ng batas na walang kinikilingan.Ang ganitong uri ng tao na magiging leader ng pamayanan, patay kang bata ka...wala tayong patutunguhan...Sa kangkungan ang bagsak nang ating Bayan.Makikita naman natin na walang developments ang Maguindanao.Siya lang ang nagpapasira sa imahin ng mga kapatid nating Muslim sa Mindanao, Siya ang Tunay na Terorista.Wala siyang karapatang mamuno at kahit sino pa man na ganito ang uri ng pagkatao ay walang karapatan maging isang leader. Sayang at ano pa ang bansag na Datu-ibig sabihin ikaw ay isang leader o pinuno ng isang pamayanan, ito ba ay dapat sa kanyang titulo? Sa palagay ko ay hindi, Pwede Datu Puti na suka maasim pa sa pagmumukha nya. At para naman sa mga tunay na muslim mabuhay po kayo, ang sa akin lamang dapat ipaglaban nyo ang tunay na demokrasya ang tunay na Jihad ay ang pabagsakin ang nagpapanggap na isang Muslim, sila yoong mga hipokreto. Dapat Sunogin at ibitay ng patiwarik...Matapang lang dahil sa dami ng kanyang mga galamay na ginagawang hanapbuhay ang pumatay at manlupig sa kapwa. Ang tunay na matapang ay yaong humaharap ng sabayan at hindi umaasa sa mga kasamang bayaran, humarap ka at magpakalalake ka sa harap ng digmaan, pero sa palagay ko hindi to magpapakita dahil isang utos nya lang may gagawa na para sa kanya, yan ay isang malinaw na DUWAG.

  9. This is a result of Gloria Arroyos wicked government.

    This is Holy War.
    Catholics and their Jesuits vs Muslims, journalists, lawyers, and democracy.

    Arroyo was put into office just like Bush Jr was, on the very same day no less, requiring the same intervention from their Supreme Court, which is dominated by Roman Catholics like the US Supreme Court is no doubt.

    This is what results after a stole election and when the thieves want to stay in power.

  10. True-Blood-Mindanaoan: These acts are the result of the foremost glaring facts of election fraud committed by the dwarf woman who styles herself the president of the phillipines. The maguindanao province is where FPJ in his bid for the presidential seat recieved 0 votes in the last presidential election, the election result is manipulated of course. The Opposition senators fared no better. The result is that Mrs. Arroyo has to reward them with the 3 G's-Guns, Goons, Gold together with government position of importance in mindanao. IF, you are a "TRUE-BLOOD-MINDANAOAN" YOU know who and what i'm talking about! God Bless Mindanao!

  11. I read a quote by Leonard Mosley. "Killing is practically a Filipino national pastime but in Mindanao, it's an industry."

    Initially, I thought the quote was an exaggeration but now, I'm slowly thinking there's some reality to it.

    We here in Mindanao are aware of what the Ampatuan family are capable of. Though current news reports shed light about their family, there is still so much more to tell.

    Praying for justice to those concerned and safety for the residents of Cotabato. We'll never know what will happen next.

GMA hayop ka.You created this monster clan in Maguindanao to murder anyone who cross their path.Politics...just because of this f _ _ _ _ _ g Philippine style politics,this evil Ampatuan clan just don't mind killing innocent people and even their political rivals.Four days na since the massacre,wala pa rin may dinamput para managot sa kahayopang ito.I am looking forward the whole world will join the Filipino people to condemn this brutality and condemn Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as well for not doing enough to fast track and bring the perpetrators to jail and face the Philippine Justice System.Walang hiya kayo...

  14. Sir, what you have written in your blog is true. . but i disagree when you refered Ampatuan as "our fellow muslim". No Sir, for us true muslims here in Mindanao do not consider him as Muslim. When we say Muslim, they are those who follow the teachings of ISLAM. . And the Old man Ampatuan including his children are not practicing ISLAM as their religion, therefore cannot be called Muslim. It would be better if he is called a Maguindanaon.

    It is our dream to see the Ampatuans behind bars for all the killings they have done even before the November 23 massacre.

    You are right, if GMA is looking for a terrorist, she doesn't have to order battalions of military to attack parts of Mindanao. . the terrorist is just right in her administration, and she calls him "Ama" as the old Ampatuan kiss her hand. .

  15. Nasa cotabato lang ako nang mangyari ang karumaldumal na pagpatay na ito.. marami sa mga kasamahan ko ang natakot, nagalit, at nalungkot dahil sa nangyari.
    Naalala ko yung sinabi samin ng isang kaibigang muslim "hindi mtatapos ang gulo sa mindanao hanggang may binhing natitira sa mga kaaway" Iyon ang kanilang pananaw ukol sa kanilang sariling lupain at paniniwala.
    May sariling pamamaraan ang mga taga ARMM... batay sa kanilay paniniwala, tradisyon at prinsipyo. sa aking pananaw dapat na litisin at parusahan ang mga may kasalanan sa massacre na ito sa kanilang sariling pamamaraan at tradisyon. sa madaling salita sa ilalim ng batas ng mga kapwa natin Muslim.

  16. MAGUINDANAO MASSACRE - JUSTICE MUST PREVAIL !!!!

    Looking back to what had happened , it’s really TRAUMATIC to each and everyone of us,when PEOPLE WITHOUT CONSCIENCE can do such a GRUESOME/BARBARIC CRIME.As a woman myself, what they have done to the women-victims were INJUSTICE BEYOND WORDS.They all died because of people that have been so GREEDY WITH POWER .Whoever have orchestrated and have done this MUST PAY TO THEIR LAST DROP OF BLOOD.There must be more buried in their area ,if it wasn’t a blown up news- they’ll belonged to people that have been buried to unknown locations and the bereaved families that have lost their kins,friends will forever never see even their very bones.JUSTICE MUST PREVAIL,no one is excused for committing such a crime that shocked the whole world.It’s sad because not all people here in Mindanao are as HEARTLESS as those that have done it.We are PEACE LOVING AND HARDWORKING PEOPLE that just want to live in a PEACEFUL/CRIME-FREE ENVIRONMENT.Due to this ,our Mindanao will be SCARRED FOR LIFE and some people now thought that it’s unsafe to go here.
    I have lived here for 41 years,my grandfather have never left our place – even died here ,because for him he had found the LAND OF PROMISE .He has chosen to live here with his family because he was charmed by the place,he served as the 1st Vice Mayor of a city here and he’ll always tell us that wherever we go we’ll always go back here in Mindanao.He has befriended Muslim clans because he got a farm planted with palm oil somewhere in Sultan Kudarat.There were tough times during his early years staying on that area but what had happened in Maguindanao was perhaps the worst in the history for it involved innocent people /hardworking people/women that were killed for a WHIM.
    Everyone here wants JUSTICE for what they have caused us all.We all fear for our lives if these people can’t be all caught .They must pay for the crimes they have committed.
    I do hope that there’ll be more evidences leading to he downfall of the people behind this UNFORGIVABLE CRIME OF A LIFETIME.
    Praying for the bereaved families that they must find ways in accepting what had happened to their loved ones,for us living here in Mindanao,that we’ll be protected from abusive /heartless people that terrorizes our peaceful lives.
    We must be vigilant at all times,because we never know what happens next.
    Thanking people that have done their very best/worked hard to come out with an analysis that can be very vital/useful to unveil the REAL TRUTH behind this crime.

  17. Andal Ampatuan and the rest of his family should be treated like animals. Their lives are not enough to pay for what they did.

  18. Asia

    yan ang hirap sa Philippines ang daming mga corrupt na tao kaliwat kanan kaya mga bulag at pipi na sila sa katotohanan. Bakit hindi nila patayin or assasinate yong mga konektadong mga tao lalo na yang mga kaibigan sa Malacanang marami pa kayong pasikot sikot alam na ninyo kung sino ang may control hanggang mga salita lamang. Hindi na dapat mag dalawang isip dahil mga dimonyo sila. ano bang klasing gobyerno yan isang linggo na ang nakaraan hindi parin mga nagsikilos. Tulad ng sabi ng kamag anak ng mga demonyong Ampatuan Qoute sino daw ang papatay eh KUNG YONG GOVT. NGA DAY AY TAKOT EH. Ibig sabihin ay imbalido kayong mga batas sa Philippines eh para na kayong tinawag na walang mga tete mga duwag. Ito ay insulto na sa lahat na mga pilipino we cannot tolerate this fucking attitude of this clan halos lahat ng kamag anak ay nag aastang parang mga hari. Bakit hanggang ngayong ay hindi pa pinapatalsik yong ibang ampatuans na involved doon sa massacre bakit hanggang ngayong ay hindi sila nakakakulong at bakit yong iba ay mga nasa puwesto parin ano ba magsigising kayo dyan.

  19. and now he wants to be a state witness, opening up new scandals to get away from the issue that he killed more than 50 filipinos. its another ploy to get away from his evil deed and what about the lives he took? you will still be punished.

  20. He must be crushed, ground into tiny pieces and blasted into oblivion. His evil ways and deeds must not be allowed to continue unchecked.
