I would like to share an article or post written by a fellow member of the Botomo Yahoo Groups. I think what he says has a strong point and perhaps deserve some consideration. Many of us are not welcome with the idea of a BJE because we fear that we will loose Mindanao. But the question is when did Mindanao become ours in the first place? I think they had been part of the Philippines because Christians and others had settled did and titled the lands... therefore by legality it is indeed part of the Philippines.
