when will we ever learn? sulu was razed to the ground in the early 70s by the bullets of non-moros... tausugs mostly were slain like animals earlier in the infamous jabidah massacre... recently, they play hosts to masked enemies... they welcome with open arms the GI Joes especially... they are the only people in this sinking country who love the ID system... gov. tan and the lady vice gov. even seen in tv of their endearment to the ID system... will they ever be reminded that the only way these non-believers will like them is if and when they (moros) worship their crucified lord? MasaAllah!!!
