Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF)
Year founded: 1972
Founders: Nur Misuari and Hashim Salamat
Strength (Misuari’s faction): 3,000 (reports as of 2016)
Historical Fact
MNLF was conceptualized by Datu Abulkhayr Alonto and Prof. NurulHajji Misuari (a member of KM) in 1970, a precursor of the Moro Youth Power and Lam Alif, youth wings of the Union of Islamic Forces and Organizations that later became known as Bangsa Moro Liberation Organization. The leaders of the Bangsamoro revolution rejected it as too radical at a meeting in Zamboanga City in 1970. BMLO position was full autonomy.
Founders: Rashid Lucman, Salipada Pendatun, Domocao Alonto, Hamid Kamlian, Kalingalan Caluang, Udtog Matalam, Atty. Macapantun Abbas Jr.
Salamat Hashim was a member of the Ansar el Islam, the Islamic wing of the BMLO under Sen. Domocao Alonto
From 1968 to 1972 the BMLO trained and financed about 30,000 Bangsamoro fighters, men and women, in guerrilla warfare. BMLO was supported by the Confederation of 19 Royal Houses of Mindanao and Sulu and most major Muslim political clans in Mindanao and Sulu.
BMLO was supported by Malaysian PM Tunku Abdel Rahman, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, Pres. Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt, Ustaj Saleh Taynaz and Libyan Minister Saleh Bouyasir, who died in a plane crash in 1972.
MNLF emerged after it won support from Malaysia’s Tun Mustapha, head of the proposed Republik covering Sabah and Mindanao and Sulu, Libyan Pres. Muammer Khadaffi, Foreign Minister Aly Trekky and the OIC. Tun Mustapha confiscated the 2,000 FN rifles bought by Rashid Lucman in Belgium in 1972 earmarked for the revolutionary fronts in Lanao and Maguindanao.
MNLF declared the establishment of Mindanao Republik in 1972.
(SOURCE: EYEWITNESS)
Origin: The MNLF was a splinter group of the Muslim Independence Movement, later called the Mindanao Independence Movement, which was founded in 1968 to work for a separate Moro state in the southern Philippines.
Gov. Udtog Matalam, brother in Law of Gen. Salipada K. Pendatun, declared Mindanao Independence when his son was killed by NBI agents in 1968. His son Udtog “Jun” Matalam Jr. was active in the BMLO.
Ideology and goal: The MNLF initially sought a fully independent state for the Moros, but its leadership accepted autonomy under the 1996 Final Peace Agreement.
Currently, the MNLF is divided in its aims, with some factions supporting MILF-government talks and the proposed Bangsamoro region, while other factions strongly oppose the proposal, insisting on full implementation of the 1996 agreement.
Major attacks:
Sept. 9, 2013 — MNLF members entered Zamboanga City and attacked government forces and took some 300 civilian as hostages.
Oct. 10, 1977 — Thirty-four military officers and soldiers, including Brig. Gen. Teodulfo Bautista, were killed in what came to be known as the Patikul massacre in Sulu province.
Moro Islamic Liberation Front
(MILF)
Year founded: 1977
Founder: Hashim Salamat
Strength: 12,000
Origin:
The MILF broke away from the MNLF because of ideological and political disagreements between Salamat and Misuari. Salamat Hashim accused Nur Misuari of giving away the Bangsamoro revolution to Libyan Pres. Muammar Khadaffi and First Lady Imelda Marcos through the 1976 Tripoli Agreement. Dimas Pundato broke away from Nur Misuari and organized the MNLF-Reformist Group in 1979–1980. (SOURCE: EYEWITNESS)
Ideology and goal: The MILF formulated a policy of gradually creating an Islamic society in the Moro regions. To accomplish this, the MILF applied Islamic law in the areas under its control and believed that the creation of an independent Moro state would eventually follow.
Major attacks:
Jan. 25, 2015 — Forty-four police Special Action Force commandos were killed in fighting with MILF guerrillas and members of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters while pursuing two international terrorists, including the Malaysian terrorist Zulkifli bin Hir, alias Marwan, who was reportedly killed by the policemen.
July 10, 2007 — Fourteen Marines were killed, 10 of them beheaded, while on their way home from operations to rescue kidnapped Italian priest Giancarlo Bossi in Basilan province.
