Did you know that the NCMF(national commission on muslim ), was created to serve, benefit and propagate only the Muslim-Filipinos or the followers of the religion of Islam?  It’s mission: To be competent and committed government agency serving progressive and peaceful Muslim Filipino communities.  It’ vision: To promote and develop the institutions and well-being of Muslim Filipinos towards national unity. The Philippine government finances this commission from a public fund meant only for the general public and never for any private citizens, organizations or enterprises. PD1445 specifically mandates that public funds must not be spent for private purposes.

The Muslim-Filipinos are private citizens belonging to a private organization, Islam. Just as the Filipino Christians are private citizens belonging to the Christian churches or religions. The non- do not get any Public funding from the Philippine government. There isn’t a single Filipino law created to fund the followers of any Non-Islamic religions. The NCMF serves only filipino-muslims, the followers of the religion of Islam. This is a misuse and misappropriation of public funds. ------Article 1, SEC. 4 of RA 9997 (NCMF) states that it's Mandate be - "The Commission shall preserve and develop the culture, tradition, institutions, and well-being of Muslim Filipinos, in conformity with the country's laws and in consonance with national unity and development."

 By officially accepted and recognized definition Muslims are the followers of the religion of Islam. This commission was specifically created to help the followers of the religion of Islam only in the .

 The law is biased and favorable towards Muslim-Filipinos and prejudiced against Non-Muslim Filipinos.

 Being a Muslim (Moro) does not make an individual an indigenous person. Being a Muslim (Moro) makes the individual the follower of the religion of Islam.

 The Badjao, Bagobo, Banwaon, Bukidnon, Dibabawon, Higaonon, Ilanun/Iranun, Jama , Kalagan, Kalibugan, , Mamanua, Palawanon, Mandaya, Manguangan, Manobo, Mansaka, Maranaw, Molbog, Palawanon, Palibugan, Sama, Sangil, Subanen(Subanon), Tagakaolo, Talaandig, Tausūg, T'Boli, Tiruray, and Yakan people of the Philippines are some of the indigenous people but not the Muslims or Moros. ◦ These tribal people are some of the of the Philippines. Their tribes existed in the Philippines long before Islam and Christianity arrived in the Philippines. The Muslims only showed up in the year 1380. Many of these tribal people are non- muslims and are following different religions. There are several races in the Philippines practicing the religion of Islam and they are Muslim. But not all of them are indigenous.

Page 1 “Public Fund” is being used for a private group of people, the Muslim-Filipinos: Muslim Filipinos is not a race of people, they are not indigenous people.

Article II POWERS AND FUNCTIONS (NCMF), Section 8(c) states: “Act as the primary government agency through which Muslim Filipinos can seek government assistance and redress; serve as the medium through which such assistance may be extended to Muslim Filipinos; for this purpose, the Commission is hereby authorized, subject to existing auditing rules and regulations, to give grants-in-aid out of its appropriations or other appropriate funds to cooperating government agencies for such programs or projects for the development of Muslim Filipino communities; provide services including legal assistance, medical aid, relief, rehabilitation and other forms of assistance for socioeconomic upliftment of Muslim Filipino comm unities; “

 Giving grants to a Muslim person or funding for projects for only Muslim Filipino communities discriminates the Non-Muslims and therefore is a misappropriation of PUBLIC FUND as stated in PD1445. ------Article II POWERS AND FUNCTIONS (NCMF), 8(r) states: “Promote the development of a Assistance Fund that shall be created from contributions of Muslim Filipinos and other donors which shall be used to support the financial needs of deserving Muslim Filipinos intending to participate in the annual Hajj;”  Assisting in the Hajj with “PUBLIC FUND” violates PD 1445. The hajj is a strictly private quest of a Muslim person. It is strictly private and not for the benefit of the PUBLIC. The hajj is never meant for Non-Muslims. So this is again a misuse of Public Fund for the benefit of Muslims only, a private group of people who are the followers of the religion of Islam. ------Article II POWERS AND FUNCTIONS (NCMF), Section 8 (u) states: Formulate and adopt continuing programs and activities to strengthen Madaris (plural of Madrasah) schools; Islamic Studies, and Shari'ah and Islamlc jurisprudence, in coordination with appropriate agencies of the government;  Madrasas are not designed or meant for Non-Muslims. They are specifically for Muslims. Shari'ah is not for Non-Muslims. It is specifically for Muslims only. Muslims are the followers of the religion of Islam and are a private group of people. This type of assistance discriminates against the Non-Muslims and violates PD1445 and is therefore a misappropriation of PUBLIC FUNDS. ------

Page 2 There were no Muslims(Moros) in the Philippines prior to the year 1380. And most definitely they were NOT the original inhabitants of , , and . Moros are Muslims and they are not an ethnicity or indigenous people.

Prior to the arrival of the Muslims, the and the in each of their own tribal domains or kingdoms ruled. The Tausugs, the Maranaos, the Maguindanaoans , and all the other tribes had their own ancestral domains. None of them were Muslims or Moros.

Never forget that the Moros(Muslims) were the first COLONIZERS of the Philippines. They were the first EXPLOITERS of the Filipino people. The Sultanates exploited the natural resources and the culture of the indigenous peoples. Now they even call the traditional clothing, dances, food, customs, and tools of the tribal indigenous peoples as Moro. They are the true Thieves of culture and natural resources.

The Philippines continues to violate its constitution by not upholding the Separation of Church and State. Not a single senator or congressman will stand up against the government's financing of the religion of Islam. Even the accepts this. The Jesuit priests even stepped forward and endorsed the . The Philippines became a country of submissive people. Submissive to the religion of Islam..

The Philippines is the only country in the world (85% Catholic), that created three(3) laws"favoring", "respecting" and "financing" the religion of Islam. Then made it unlawful to finance any other religion. The only country in the world that has a government commission that caters to Muslims only, for the hajj, for madrasas, and the spread of Islam at government's expense, paid by the taxes of non-muslims.

Even though the Philippines is over 85% Catholic, it FAVORS,"RESPECTS" and FINANCES only the religion of Islam, not Catholicism and not any other religions in the Philippines. For some twisted reasoning, the Philippine government seems to think that to become a Muslim(Moro) is to become an indigenous person. It also erroneously considers Moros or Muslims as a race. It incorrectly considers all the people of Mindanao as Moro people. It does not fully accept the fact that MOROS are MUSLIMS and that MOROS are the followers of the religion of Islam. This is not the fault of Islam. It is the fault of the Filipino leaders and of the Non-Muslim Filipinos. Legislature, more than likely, has been bought and paid for by the Muslim leaders and this is complicated by the aitude of indifference of non-muslim Filipinos.

Currently the Muslims have a propaganda saying that"All residences of Mindanao are Moros. Even Christians are Moros if they are from Mindanao". Lies, Lies, Lies. Moros are Muslims. Christians are not Moros. Moros are the followers of the religion of Islam.

We have our freedom of religion and of worship. However, the Philippine government must treat all religions equally, one religion must never be placed above others. The government must not financially support any religion whatsoever with a yearly governmental budget. God is superior to government, Government (Country) is superior to religion. Religion must never have sovereignty or autonomy over regions, provinces, cities, municipalities or barangays in the Philippines. Yet, the Philippines continue to financially support only the followers of the religion of Islam and is giving the Muslims an Islamic HOMELAND in Mindanao where Sharia rules supreme. Still ungrateful, only the religion of Islam continues to wage WAR against the Philippines. Only the religion of Islam has militias like the MNLF, MILF, and BIFF.

Everybody knows that Islam does not believe, accept or tolerate the separation of religion from government or the "separation of church and state". The (Article II, Section 6) of the Philippine Constitution declares:"The separation of Church and State shall be inviolable".

The preamble of the constitution calls for EQUALITY and: Article 6, section 29 (2): states"No public money or property shall be appropriated, applied, paid, or employed, directly or indirectly, for the use, benefit, or support of any sect, church, denomination, sectarian institution, or system of religion..,"; then legislature turns around and created three(3) laws"FAVORING","RESPECTING" and "FINANCING" the religion of Islam. Where is the EQUALITY in this?
