[edit] Added other definition of MILF
I just added the mature ladies meaning of MILF, I shyed away from saying "Mother I'd Like to Flabberghast", I wasn't sure if I should, I know there's a page on fuck, but I thought someone who knew the system better could decide for me. SimonMayer
Never mind, I've seen the List of acronyms page has it. I'll make a note of it on the actual MILF page. SimonMayer
So, er... has anyone let the Moro Islamic Liberation Front know what their acronym is more commonly used for? I know it's not important (or encyclopedic?) but I'd love to know. Optimus Sledge 00:15, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

- Use the disambiguation page for other uses :) --Tigeroo 11:16, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I would like to know if they know. Do they have a web page or e mail address? Is there much confusion from porn fans who end up in the Philipines?
[edit] The Root Cause of Mindanao Feud and Antidote
THE ROOT CAUSE OF MINDANAO FEUD and Antidote by ahmad fawad - kabul, afghanistan afawadd@yahoo.com
Going back to the most forgotten and neglected past of Southern Philippines, Mindanao historical facts should be rehabilitated and brought forward to the attention of our generation and to clip the reality to the proper sphere on understanding.
The supposed indigenous inhabitants of the second largest island of the nation were most likely the sea fearing Melanesians and Polynesians roaming in several Pacific islands and settled down for good as they saw the opportunities of living in unrestricted atmosphere Indeed, they should have originated in different island tribes as shown on their cultural Indeed, they should have originated in different island tribes as shown on their cultural heritage up to the present days. The most prevailing historical records were Malays who had done the island hopping from the Indies mainland. It took awhile for those people to established their hunting grounds and live in peace as time goes by.
Civilization progresses in conjunction with time and space worldwide. Cults evolved into different religious sects. Dominant religions tried to allied themselves to dominant powers and vice versa. Colonial domains were common factors to extend their influence and control.
Sometimes in the 12th centuries and onwards, Christianity, Buddhism and Islam engaged in religious intramurals into the Pacific areas. Colonial instinct of dominant powers uses religion as front for colonization, converting inhabitants into the mainstream of religious anathema. Missionaries where then the most prestigious careers
Islam missionaries engaged in island hopping in the lace of islands of now Sulu archipelago The known words-thru-mouth history from Muslims of Mindanao, was that the first Islamic missionaries landed in the coastal undulating terrains of now Sarangani Province and from there, crept inland with their religion and influence. Informal trades were established via this island chain towards the Indies mainland.
Time progressed and Spanish exploration reached the central part of the archipelago. Again,
the missionaries were the forerunner of converting the inhabitants into the mainstream of
religious anathema. Christianity was propagated and the Kingdom of Spain started the colonization. (Chances were, if the Islam missionaries started from the central part of the archipelago with their full warriors and Spaniards started in the south, today's situation are different, most likely similar to that of Indonesia and country's name shall be another).
Be it known, that the entire archipelago was annexed to Spain as territory and colony. Those were the days of mapping the globe where nationhood were not yet essential. The entire archipelago bordering the Indies was christened; Philippine Islands and proclaimed as Spanish domain.
Soon came the Americans and Philippine Islands was ceded to the new colonizer. A more democratic governance was designed and implemented. Agriculture was one of the business interest of the new comer. Traditional hunting grounds were reduced to farmlands and allocation to the entire citizenry were accelerated after WWII when Philippines obtained nationhood. Homesteads were the famous "pilot project" for landless citizens. Mindanao was projected as the Land of Promise for idle lands abound and opportunities for landless Filipinos shall create momentum for developments.
Now due to the unrestricted population growth rate of the country, the most viable approach is to conduct people–land inventory and allocate remaining government lands. A land-buy-back mechanics can also be applied to some selected areas and reallocate to the most reasonable recipients. Since the dominant issue of Mindanao is more of cultural origin, social interaction should be design for traditional intervention
Indeed all Filipinos are genetically of Polynesian origin and only through the influence of religion separated their bloodline. If only it can look back the historical heritage and dissect thoroughly the time before the coming of religion to this archipelago thus brought this generation to chaos, peace shall reign again and hemogenous culture is not difficult to attain. A Non-sectarian Social Action could be design to tackle the issue of traditional separation. Firstly, take-out religious dominance and bring back the pre-religious genetic history and ultimate social understanding can be achieve. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.5.117.205 (talk) 01:14, 12 March 2007 (UTC).
