Before, heKissing the hand of the old mother and go 4 days before his wife, sister, relatives and dozens of journalists have travelled the road of the tragic massacre. This time, accompanied by his soldiers and police in at least one link, and the Philippines military armoured vehicles. From Broin town, crossing the Sultan Kudarat-superhighway, 100 meters along each have four soldiers guarded by a group. The Sultan Kudarat, entered an Pato Township, massacres took place is the broad highway, both sides are rice and corn, or some Ocean ash. Here you can view and to the East of the Moro Islamic stationed at the front for the liberation commanders temperature Bala �� Kadugli of 105 Brigade and 100 Brigade, Sarit, Al Agua g stationed his 104 and 106 of Brigade. As Ann Pato on the existence of family, the armed forces, temperature Bala �� Kadugli military force failed to penetrate in this area. Ann Pato-an armed forces have a euphemistic name �� "special forces" civilian auxiliary operations (SCAA) and "community volunteer organizations" (CVOs). Locals believe that support an Pato's armed forces, approximately 2000 people. After the massacre, the Philippine military spokesman had said that the SCAA was a disarmament, 390 weapons seized. Enter Al Agua Sarit, near to the province's Parliament buildings, after an PHA hinatuan family mansion, is the capital of mannila can see that kind of detached luxury-style. See our special reporter, family closed, only one or two people at the observation tower. Provincial Council of gate fortified, several military vehicles parked in an PHA hinatuan Manor House wall. Old andal �� Ann Pato on Governor's son Bazar, is the President of the autonomous region of Mindanao, his site is like California Beverley Hills Villa. November 27, Muslim holiday, only the election office door. And the Philippines, as elsewhere, it would have been open to midnight on 1 December until the registration deadline. Christian Muslim democratic force Party Chairman, and former Secretary of Defense �� Gilbert Teodoro escorts and to nominate a candidate for Governor of Tod. 11 a.m. sharp, Tod finished electoral registration, the entire process of 20 minutes. Christian Muslim Democrats Party is the party in power, is also the largest party. November 19, Arroyo resigned as Party Chairman, by the former Defense Minister Teodoro succession, Teodoro, will participate in the presidential elections next year. Family feuds �� elections �� Chinese Academy of social sciences, Center for Southeast Asian studies, Philippines problem expert Xu Liping tells the magazine, 23 November, Teodoro has convened over Ann Pato Ann and Bangkok Dada photo family of rulers, had two good offices, like Bangkok Dada figure not to participate in the election of Governor, in Exchange, to Bangkok Dada figure clan arrangements such as Minister of finance and State power company Chairman, and other job-related, but Bangkok Dada figure family refused and insisted on running for Governor. Bangkok Dada figure family oriented and Ann Pato on family, belonging to the Christian Muslim Democrats Party, but some time ago, Ann Pato Ann had declared that, with the intention to participate as members of the opposition Liberal Party election campaign, but have not yet signed a formal Alliance agreement. Shortly after the death of former President Aquino has served as Secretary of the Liberal Party, its child Benigno Aquino III �� 9 months that will represent the Liberal Party for next year's presidential election held in the Philippines. Since the Aquino administration integrity, prestige is high, the Liberal Party this time raised, will be the next democratic force party's strongest competitor. In the opinion polls, Aquino III support rate is much higher than that of Teodoro. Therefore, local elections have a direct impact on the presidential elections next year. Luampa hinatuan family in 2004 and 2007 elections for President Arroyo has won many votes. These two election vote count results in the statistical sense cannot be established, have been suspected counterfeit, on Phra hinatuan family also had been subjected to intense criticism, but in the end have not been confirmed. The basis of democratic force party party rules, the party's nomination of candidates, in the last election in credit people according to their contribution to obtain the corresponding more logistical and financial support. Ann Pato, because the most votes in the Arroyo Government also appropriate to have a greater influence and resources. It is precisely for this reason, Tod �� Bangkok Declaration exit daadatu had democratic force party, good and Ann Pato on better. Now, the Philippine Government explicitly dismissed luampa hinatuan family party, Daan Dar provincial, Bangkok Dada figure therefore returned to democratic force party in the election. "Before each election to take political violence is local warlords and political family. "Xu Liping tells the magazine," Philippine election-is jokingly ' 3G election ', that is, the barrel of a gun (Gun), gang (Gang) and money (Gold). On the Philippines election culture characteristic of this violence is, the Central Government sometimes tacitly, biased against opponents. But this time massacres do not go overboard, the Central Government would certainly not allow massacres. "" This family feuds with another dimension, exaggerated political competition is covered up. "The University of Hawaii Manoa Philippines Center for Fred �� Dr. Magda Lerner (FredricoMagdalena) told in an interview, interview in" five years ago, Daan Dar's son who was killed in an ambush, Bangkok Dada figure who is mainly family run. "There have been reports that Daan Dar ordered a roundup of several suspects to extremely cruel way killed three people, but so far no witness dares telling this story. According to statistics, the Asia Foundation from the 1930s to 2005, a total of 55 people in the Philippines family feuds were killed, thousands of people displaced. Of these, cotton big old region a total of 218 up bloody conflicts, second only to the South Lanao province, more than half of the killings occurred in 21 century. �� (EdwinEspejo, 1960 was born in the Philippines cotton big old island for many years engaged in cotton big old regional conflicts News)
