| Summary: | This study examines and analyzes the strategies and tactics of the Moro
Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) in the Southern Philippines, during 1994-2005 using
the Organizational Approach. It looks at the political, military and economic strategies
and tactics of the MILF in its quest to liberate the Bangsamoro homeland and its
people from the clutches of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP)
and its agents.
The data for this analysis come from primary and secondary sources, namely
newspapers, policy statements, speeches, press releases, joint communiqué, peace
agreements, books, magazines, and journals. Interviews with informed people were
also conducted.
The study found that the strategies and tactics of the MILF in its quest for
freedom and self-determination of the Bangsamoro homeland and its people were
effective and workable. The MILF as a splinter liberation movement had emerged as
the dominant independence movement in the Southern Philippines. The strategies and
tactics of the organization have not only guaranteed its survival, but they even led to
its emergence as the most dominant and powerful liberation movement in the region.
The MILF is now considered as a power to be reckoned with not only by the GRP, but
also by both regional and international actors. |
