NAJIB RAZAK together with his cohorts B.S. AQUINO III, MIRIAM
CORONEL-FERRER AND TERESITA DELES was one of the main
instigators of the ill-contrived and unconstitutional Bangsamoro Basic
Law (BBL) which they tried to get Congress to approve, but failed.
As a matter of fact, Najib flew to Manila on a private jet last March 27, 2014 to
personally witness the formal signing in Malacaang of the Comprehensive
Agreement of the Bangsamoro between the Philippine government and the
separatist
Moro
Islamic
Liberation
Front
(MILF).
Malaysia served as a moderator for the peace talks, a role that immediately
raised some serious questions because of Malaysias obvious conflict of
interest;
1. first, due to the long-standing and still unresolved dispute with the
Philippines over Sabah,
2. second, because of a long record of direct support from Malaysia to Muslim
rebels in Mindanao. Critics of Malaysias involvement contend that, at best, its
presence pressured our governments peace negotiators into accepting a
ridiculously disadvantageous deal;
rumors have been swirling for more than a year that an actual payoff $750
MILLION is the figure most often cited was made by the Najib
government to the Aquino regime to encourage hasty acceptance of the
defective peace agreement and ensure swift passage of the otherwise
unacceptable, balkanizing BBL.
Aquino entered into some kind of an agreement with Malaysia for them to
explore natural gas when he (Aquino) became president, claimed, referring
to the 288-HECTARE LIGUASAN MARSH that straddles the provinces of
MAGUINDANAO, NORTH COTABATO, and SULTAN KUDARAT. The
government and Malaysia had a deal to grant Malaysia the sole prerogative
to mine our natural gas and develop it, The EXPLORATION BY MALAYSIAN
ENGINEERS ACTUALLY STARTED IN THE 1990S WHEN THE MNLF WAS
STILL NEGOTIATING THEIR PEACE WITH THE GOVERNMENT. So the
MILF DISAPPROVED of the exploration because the MILF was still
negotiating its Framework Agreement with the government and MILF
Chairman AL HAJ MURAD EBRAHIM asked Aquino to stop the drilling.
The MILF didnt want Liguasan Marsh as the site of the exploration
because they will be displaced since their forces are concentrated in the
area. But MURAD MYSTERIOUSLY AGREED not to oppose the exploitation
of Liguasan Marsh after he allegedly met secretly with Malaysian Prime
Minister Najib Razak in Malaysia days before the signing of the Framework
Agreement in exchange FOR 10 BILLION MALAYSIAN RINGGITS (P12.3
BILLION). The environment suddenly changes following Malaysias financial
support to the MILF at the height of its peace negotiations with the government
MILF officials accepted bribes from Malaysia to forge a peace agreement that
would allow foreign exploitation of Mindanaos natural resources. the MILF
acceded to the Malaysian business targets in Liguasan Marsh after Malaysia
provided them the necessary support in their peace deal with the government.
The government even admitted that it was suspending the bidding process
of oil exploration contracts in the Liguasan Marsh area pending a wealthsharing annex for the Framework Agreement. Chairman Murad is correct.
Wealth-sharing is one of the annexes that we have to finish...Of course we have
to finish first the negotiations for all the annexes, Aquino said at that time.
Three contracts are currently up for bidding: AREA 11 covering 600,000
hectares in Cotabato; AREA 12 covering 456,000 hectares in Cotabato; and
AREA 15 covering 482,000 hectares in Sulu Sea.
A. AREA 11 IN COTABATO (600,000 HECTARES) received two bids from
FORUM PACIFIC and HELIOS MINING AND ENERGY, which were both
accepted.
B. AREA 12 ALSO IN COTABATO (456,000 HECTARES) received a bid
from three companies of which two were accepted. Dil Moro Energy
Corp. and Min Energy Pty. Ltd were accepted while Monte Oro
Resources Energy Inc.s bid was rejected.
C. AREA 15 IN THE SULU SEA (482,000 HECTARES) drew the most bids of
which three complied. The bids of The Philodrill Corp and Philex
Petroleum Corp.; Mitra Energy Ltd. (with Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Co.
and Tap Oil) and Forum Pacific were accepted but the Department of
Energy rejected the bid of NorAsian.

to be 158 million barrels of oil, with 10 wildcat wells drilled in the areas
already.
