Seedbook 8: Bad Guys are Recruiting Minors

The MILF and NPA are recruiting minors into their minors. As a leader of this country, I will personally bring up this complaint to the UN body when I attend the UN General Assembly on September 23 in the United States.

The Commission on Human Rights had said that it would deploy a team to Mindanao to verify reports that the MILF has been shoring up the youth’s support in the rebel group’s armed movement. Other concerned members of the citizenry are open to getting in touch with the MILF to verify the authenticity of the report.

Several days ago, I saw a television report that showed footage of a platoon of fatigue-clad, firearm yielding minors, who were allegedly among the new recruits of the rebel group.

In my US visit, I will hold bilateral meetings in New York and report to the UN the country’s compliance to the eighth international development objectives.

I will also meet with the Organization of Islamic Conference to present the government’s “new peace strategy,” following after the stalling of the signing of a domain agreement with the MILF.

I personally flew to Mindanao last Thursday to personally hand out incentives to some 500 soldiers deployed in Lanao del Norte to boost their moral while hunting down wanted MILF leaders.

Aside from distributing P300 cell phone loads to each soldier, I also gave out: P1 million for college education of the soldiers’ children, and P1 million for the soldiers’ parents.

I vowed to rehabilitate the hospitals where wounded soldiers are taking refuge.

I am so sad with what’s happening. I will try to fix this one, I’ll do my best to get the minors out of this.
