[Title] => What if MILF files for ancestral title?
[Summary] =>
Hermogenes Esperon advises Mindanao separatists to explore other ways to gain a Moro homeland. The fierce general-turned-peace negotiator offers alternatives in light of Malacañang’s scrapping of the initialed Memo on Ancestral Domain. Two bills in Congress — to expand the Muslim autonomous region and to shift to federal form — offer home rule, he says. With the executive lies a third option: to disarm and rejoin society.
