Question

Would the creation of the bangsamoro juridical entity tantamount to balkanising the philippines?

Answer 1

But of course!

It this happens we shall hole up in Marikina and declare it a Republic.  Our beautiful mayor shall be President, with the MMDA chairman as First Gentleman.

Of course,  we shall immediately issue passports so that we could go to the Republic of Manila for shopping.

Answer 2

Yes. If the Bangsamoro Juridical Entity gets approved, the Christians will - as they said - secede from the Philippines and declare independence as the Federal Republic of Mindanao. The said group, under a former DILG secretary, is currently drafting a proposition to be submitted to the United Nations to support the independence of Mindanao. Besides, if Mindanao goes its way, what will hinder the Visayas from declaring independence too, as well as that of the Cordillera Mountains?

BJE is wrong. If it wants to give the Muslims a state, then might as well vote for Philippine Federalism, so the Christians in Mindanao would not feel being sold out to the Muslims.

Besides, it would create numerous problems. If someone wants to marry several women, he can just go to the BJE and marry there, and get back to the Philippines, where it would complicate matters and lead to problems in legality. Besides, what is the assurance of having the BJE remain within the Philippines, and not opt to join Malaysia? Malaysia has been reportedly courting BJE too. If Malaysia gets Mindanao and southern Palawan, it will be a lot richer, permanently end the Sabah dispute in its favor, and effectively transferring sovereignty over the large southern portion of the Spratlys to Malaysia.

Answer 3

i haven't read the content of the agreement yet, and the media footage has not yet revealed much about what they really are.So hard to comment on anything without basis.Who knows that the islamic laws would be applied only to muslims in that area. As for instance, adultery in the Philippines judicial system would only require the guilty parties for imprisonment not more than 5 years while the islamic law would require that it should be stoning to death since it is crime not only to family but to society.Another is the tolerance of fornications or illicit s*x  in the christian society while in islamic rulings, they should be whipped in public. With the prevalence of unwed mothers, i think it is an appropriate act.I also heard that only muslim drunkards and not christians are imprisoned for several days in Singapore which is a multi creed state.Again, lack of substantial evidence on what that agreements are so it is untimely to make comments.
