Mindanao Kagahapon, Karon ug Ugma
Pastor Reu B. Montecillo
I
Sa unang panahon among nailhan
Ang yutang Mindanao dapit sa kalambuan
Yuta sa saad yuta sa kauswagan
Lumad, Moro, Kristiano kini nahimong pinuy-anan.

II
Pakigdait, pagsinabtanay, pagtinabangay nasaksihan
Sa among katigulangan ilang natagamtaman
Alang kanamo nga ilang kabataan
Kalinaw maoy kabilin nga ilang ikatugyan.

III
Tuig syetenta kadulom Mindanao imong nahiaguman
Kamatay, gubat kalisod imong nasaksihan
Mga ginikanan moingon managan ‘ta kabataan
Tungod sa gubat nga nahiaguman nga dili ko masabtan.

IV
Tungod niini Mindanao ikaw nabiyaan
Katambok sa imong yuta amo nga napasagdan
Kayugot sa among dughan maoy giamomahan
Maoy hinungdan sa gyera nga walay kapuslanan.

V
Tuig Dos mil kami usab nahimong ginikanan
Guyog sa among mga anak kami na usab nanagan
Ang among kabataan nangutana unsa ang hinungdan
Sa kagubot nga nahiaguman nga dili gayud masabtan.

VI
Mindanao karon amo nang nakit-an
Ang Gugma sa Dios o ni Allah isulod sa among dughan
Sa among pag-alagad kaniya kalinaw makaplagan
Uban ang kalipay sulod sa among dughan

VII
O Mindanao karon maglipay ka
Lumad, Moro, Kristiano maghiusa na
Mga butang maayo himoon na
Mindanao yutang gipuy-an pauswagaon ta.

They were bitterly displaced. They found shelter in a cramped evacuation center where they stayed for two years together with the other evacuees.

“GEORGE RABUSA, HOW DO YOU PLEAD/ GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY?”

Here is a short anecdote to expose who George Rabusa is. A chess player, a soldier's son who made his way unto the heart of the AFP's financial system through guile and scheming ways feeding on the human weakness of his superiors and family --ingratiating himself along the way. His design would make him amass wealth beyond compare under the cover of doing it in behalf of his superiors. When eventually caught with substantial unexplained wealth, he conveniently pointed to cover himself. He brilliantly sought the assistance of the Estrada family who would not only help him quash his plunder case but would also gave him fat money in pinning down General Reyes in revenge to his withdrawal of support that caused the downfall of the former President Estrada. Now, taking advantage of immunity under the government’s Witness Protection Program, he is even considered a hero by a gullible public which has a penchant for expose. After bastarding a system and attempting to do the same on
