Treason: politicizing the military

WAS the fuss over the ruling by the Supreme Court accepting the legitimacy of the presidential candidacy of Senator Grace Poe just a distraction from an even bigger scandal?

Last Wednesday, cadets at the Philippine Military Academy in Baguio were visited by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) frontman Mohagher Iqbal and the government’s chief MILF advocate Miriam Coronel-Ferrer in a meeting organized by MindaNews. The objective of the meeting was evidently to promote the failed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), with Ferrer reportedly even going so far as to distribute copies of the proposed legislation to the audience of young officer candidates.
