Filipino Voices first reported at 12:46 p.m the MILF’s unexplained 20-day postponement of tomorrow’s earlier announed signing of the infamous ‘memorandum of agreement on ancestral domain’ that would carve out a Bangsamoro Juridical Entity in thean expanded area now covered by the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao .

Now just hours after that post which quoted the MILF web site, the Supreme Court intervened and issued a temporary retraining order (TRO) stopping the signing ceremony with the government of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, and her impleaded officiuals being given until August 15 to defend, and explain the wisdomof their treasonous action (my description), unratified by Congress, to sign away a wide area of Mindanao to secessionist rebels.

Did the MILF by some precognitive powers (mole-fed) know that TRO was about to issue from the highest tribunal of our still tenuously intact Republic?

To its credit the Justice Reynato Puno-led Court sat en banc to act with dispatch on the urgent opposition filed by North Cotabato officials to the treacherous fait accompli that was about to be signeed by the administradition whose questioned mandate is expiring some 20 months from now.

At the full bench hearing of the Supreme Court the government of the day ran true to form.

It filed a 26-page comment saying no details of the negotiations between the government panel and the MILF could be revealed even to the sovereign Filipino people.

It’s claim: executive privilege.

Expletives are a no-no. So I end this post here.
