Alsalam Alykum. I greet all my readers in Peace, in and outside the Philippine archipelago. Your humble writer seeks to dissect the problem that ails the Bangsamoro people in Mindanao--an island in the Philippines that has always been the center of war between the government and the Moro secessionist rebels belonging to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).I also appeal to my readers who are

Whilst I expounded on my previous post about my article on the collective character of the Bangsamoro Muslims, I forgot to accentuate on one major point that has to be considered when addressing the Mindanao conflict.The struggle of the Muslim Filipinos did not sprout out of unity but of the opposite.

The Beauty and The Beast was first published by Madame Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve in 1740. There are varying versions on this fairytale. The 19th century's Madame Leprince de Beaumont's interpretation was very successful. Beaumont deleted several elements in Villeneuves' piece. It was a transformation from Villenueve's complicated plot to Beaumont's simplified tale. PLOT:The story
