#2 The UN, US and Philippine government give these groups too much free space. Finding and killing the key leaders and those who finance this power grab should be the order of the day. Most Filipinos just want to have enough food to live. This crap does nothing to move their country forward.

Agreed. Problem is that the groups have too many tendrils into the political groups.

Co-opting the rank and file wouldn't hurt either. It's slow but it works (from experience.)
