Who holds the real power in the upcoming Bangsamoro Parliament? Between the clan-backed alliances, internal political fractures, and the recent appointment of Mel S. Sarmiento as Presidential Adviser on Peace, the region is navigating deep institutional shifts.

I’ve drafted a new policy brief detailing the structural realities of the transition and the strategic steps needed to ensure the peace agreements are honored. I invite readers and fellow analysts to dive into the data.

Check out the full brief on below.

THE SILENCE IS BROKEN.

For too long, we have confused silence with patience, and avoidance with peace. We believed we were protecting a legacy, when in truth, we were enabling its decay.

We built a sanctuary for the collective spirit, but it has been claimed as a pedestal for a single ego. We were taught to be Muṣliḥ (Reformers), yet we have watched the tools of reform be weaponized to spread disorder.

True leadership is stewardship, not ownership. A title gives you a place in history, not a deed to the future.

The masquerade is over. The mirror is shattered. We are walking in the light of the real.

There are moments when silence is an act of patience, and there are moments when silence becomes complicity. Today, we refuse to be complicit.

They have crossed a line. When a teacher and leader is taken against his will, when fear is used as a tool for "strategy," and when rights are forced to be surrendered under duress—this is not negotiation. This is oppression.

We stand firm on the laws of the land and the laws of Allāh. No cause is purified by fear.

Order Restored.

The Regional Trial Court has issued an injunction returning the Markazosshabab Al-Muslim Fil-Filibbin Foundation, Inc. building to its elected leadership. This is not a transition; it is the protection of the status quo against unlawful acts.

We are sharing this full manifesto to clarify the facts, correct the narrative, and close this chapter.

A Clarification for the Ummah.

For a long time, we chose ṣabr (patience) and silence to protect the community. That silence was mistaken for weakness and has been overshadowed by public noise.

Since this internal matter was deliberately forced into the public, we are now obligated to speak.

This is the official statement and chronological clarification from the duly elected leadership of Markazosshabab Al-Muslim Fil-Filibbin Foundation, Inc.. We detail the facts about the bylaws, the illegality of the "Interim Management," the forcible entry into our offices, and the real security reasons behind the Ibn Siena Integrated School Foundation Inc. (ISISFI) class suspension.

We ask you to read the full post. The truth must be known. May the truth set us all free.

Truth isn’t the loudest voice in the room.🔊✖️
Not every sensational shout is fact — some people are noisy because they crave attention; others stay quiet because they value peace and principle. Silence isn’t weakness. Truth doesn’t need drama to be true — you can’t turn the sun into the moon, and you can’t call light darkness.

Be loud for values, but let truth be louder than your volume. Stand with what is real.

Bismillāhi ar-Raḥmāni ar-Raḥīm.

​To all concerned members and observers: There are many questions about the situation at the Markaz ash-Shabab al-Muslim fil Filibbin Foundation Inc.. This document is shared to help clarify the stance of the majority and the duly elected leadership.

​It addresses the origins of the conflict, the allegations against the minority faction, and the recent escalations.

اَللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَسَلِّمْ.
يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ، يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ، نَسْتَغِيثُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ.
يَا حَكَمُ يَا عَدْلُ، أَنْتَ الْحَاكِمُ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ.
اَللّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَشْكُو إِلَيْكَ ضَعْفَ قُوَّتِنَا، وَقِلَّةَ حِيلَتِنَا، وَهَوَانَنَا عَلَى النَّاسِ.
اَللّهُمَّ اكْشِفْ هَذِهِ الْغُمَّةَ، وَأَطْفِئْ نَارَ هَذِهِ الْفِتْنَةِ، وَاجْمَعْ شَمْلَ هَذَا الْمَرْكَزِ عَلَى مَا تُحِبُّ وَتَرْضَى.
اَللّهُمَّ أَرِنَا الْحَقَّ حَقًّا وَارْزُقْنَا اتِّبَاعَهُ، وَأَرِنَا الْبَاطِلَ بَاطِلًا وَارْزُقْنَا اجْتِنَابَهُ.
اَللّهُمَّ أَلِّفْ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِنَا، وَأَصْلِحْ ذَاتَ بَيْنِنَا، وَاهْدِنَا سُبُلَ السَّلَامِ، وَنَجِّنَا مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ.
يَا رَبَّنَا، أَنْتَ الْقَائِلُ فِي كِتَابِكَ: ﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَن تُؤَدُّوا الْأَمَانَاتِ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهَا وَإِذَا حَكَمْتُم بَيْنَ النَّاسِ أَن تَحْكُمُوا بِالْعَدْلِ﴾.
اَللّهُمَّ فَوَلِّ أُمُورَنَا خِيَارَنَا، وَاجْعَلْ قَادَتَنَا مِمَّنْ يُؤَدُّونَ الْأَمَانَةَ وَيَحْكُمُونَ بِالْعَدْلِ، وَلَا تُسَلِّطْ عَلَيْنَا بِذُنُوبِنَا مَنْ لَا يَخَافُكَ وَلَا يَرْحَمُنَا.
اَللّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ وِلَايَتَنَا فِيمَنْ خَافَكَ وَاتَّقَاكَ وَابْتَغَى رِضَاكَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ.
رَبَّنَا، نَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ أَنْفُسِنَا، وَمِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ أَعْمَالِنَا.
اَللّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكِبْرِ وَالْغُرُورِ، وَحُبِّ الرِّئَاسَةِ وَالشَّهْوَةِ الْخَفِيَّةِ.
اَللّهُمَّ طَهِّرْ قُلُوبَنَا مِنَ النِّفَاقِ، وَأَعْمَالَنَا مِنَ الرِّيَاءِ، وَأَلْسِنَتَنَا مِنَ الْكَذِبِ، وَأَعْيُنَنَا مِنَ الْخِيَانَةِ.
اَللّهُمَّ رُدَّ كَيْدَ مَنْ أَرَادَ بِهَذَا الْمَرْكَزِ سُوءًا إِلَى نَحْرِهِ، وَاكْفِنَاهُمْ بِمَا شِئْتَ.
اَللّهُمَّ احْفَظْ هَذِهِ الْمُؤَسَّسَةَ مِنْ شَيَاطِينِ الْإِنْسِ وَالْجِنِّ الَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ التَّفْرِقَةَ وَالْفَسَادَ.
رَبَّنَا افْتَحْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْفَاتِحِينَ.
اَللّهُمَّ انْصُرِ الْحَقَّ وَأَهْلَهُ، وَاخْذُلِ الْبَاطِلَ وَأَهْلَهُ.
رَبَّنَا عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْنَا وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ.
وَصَلَّى اللهُ عَلَى نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ.
وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.

O Allāh, send prayers and peace upon our Master Muhammad and upon the family of our Master Muhammad.

O Ever-Living, O Self-Sustaining, O Lord of Majesty and Honor, by Your mercy we seek help.

O The Judge, O The Just, You are the One who judges between Your servants in that over which they differ.

O Allāh, to You we complain of our weakness, our lack of resources, and our insignificance in the eyes of people.

O Allāh, remove this distress, extinguish the fire of this fitnah (trial and division), and reunite this Markaz upon that which You love and are pleased with.

O Allāh, show us the truth as truth and grant us the ability to follow it, and show us falsehood as falsehood and grant us the ability to avoid it.

O Allāh, unite our hearts, mend our relations, guide us to the paths of peace, and bring us out from darkness into light.

O our Lord, You are the One who said in Your Book: "Indeed, Allāh commands you to render trusts to whom they are due, and when you judge between people, to judge with justice." (Qur’ān 4:58).

O Allāh, entrust our affairs to the best among us, and make our leaders from those who fulfill the trust and judge with justice. And do not, because of our sins, allow to rule over us those who do not fear You and do not show us mercy.

O Allāh, grant authority to those who fear You, are conscious of You, and seek Your pleasure, O Lord of the Worlds.

O our Lord, we seek refuge in You from the evil of our own selves and from the wickedness of our deeds.

O Allāh, we seek refuge in You from arrogance and ego, from the love of power and hidden desires.

O Allāh, purify our hearts from hypocrisy, our actions from showing off, our tongues from lying, and our eyes from treachery.

O Allāh, turn the plotting of whoever intends evil for this Markaz back upon their own necks, and suffice us against them in any way You will.

O Allāh, protect this institution from the devils among mankind and jinn who desire to cause division and corruption.

O our Lord, decide between us and our people in truth, for You are the best of those who give judgment.

O Allāh, grant victory to the truth and its people, and forsake falsehood and its people.

O our Lord, upon You we have relied, and to You we have returned, and to You is the final destination.

And may the salutations of Allāh be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and all his companions.

And praise be to Allāh, the Lord of the Worlds.

Don’t add fuel. Swipe to see the timeline. Verify before you share.

We remind everyone that when opposing factions clash over what they believe to be the truth, rushing to judgment or amplifying the controversy only harms the cause of justice. Allāh exhorts us to verify information before acting; our egos and Shayṭān often push us toward premature conclusions.

We call on those involved to remain calm, to address the matter objectively and diplomatically, and to avoid public escalation. Seek facts, speak with those directly involved, and prioritize fairness over publicity.

May Allāh unite our hearts on the truth, make our intentions sincere, heal the ailments of our hearts, and thwart the plots of Shayṭān and those who sow division. Let us protect the work of those striving for Islam by acting with restraint and wisdom.

Practical “Verify before you act” checklist (6 steps you can share):

1. Pause — don’t repost or comment immediately.

2. Identify the source — where did the information come from? Is it primary or hearsay?

3. Corroborate — look for at least one independent, reliable confirmation.

4. Ask the parties privately — contact those involved or leaders before going public.

5. Avoid inflammatory language — use neutral, fact-focused words.

6. Escalate properly — if needed, bring the issue to trusted elders or impartial mediators.

اللهمّ اهدِ قلوبنا إلى الحقّ، ووحّد صفوفنا، وصدّ عنّا مكائد الفتنة.
(O Allāh, guide our hearts to the truth, unite our ranks, and repel the plots of the trial.)

We, the members of Rijal al-Haqq, respectfully disagree with the notion that the Toril education system is responsible for the future problems of our society. It is essential to clarify that the economic and social challenges faced by individuals who have gone through the Toril education system are not a consequence of the education they received there.

Recent statistics and surveys reveal that the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) has one of the highest unemployment rates and the highest poverty rate among all regions in the Philippines. However, it is crucial to recognize that only a small portion of our population has undergone education in Torils, while the majority have not. Despite this, issues of unemployment and poverty persist even among graduates of secular educational institutions. This raises an important question: how can the Toril education system be held accountable for these societal problems when the majority of those who are impoverished and unemployed have never attended a Toril?

The true responsibility lies with local politicians, leaders, government units, and the affluent individuals and professionals within our society. These groups bear significant responsibility because they are the economic powerhouses of our community, with much of the wealth concentrated in their hands. In Islam, the concepts of Zakah and Sadaqah exist precisely to ensure that the excess wealth of the rich is distributed to the destitute and less fortunate members of society. If they are generous enough to share their wealth, they can uplift the entire community; if they choose greed instead, they enrich only themselves, leaving the rest of society on the brink of poverty, helpless and vulnerable.

Furthermore, it is important to acknowledge the vital role that graduates of the Toril education system play in the religious life of our communities. They lead Muslims in congregational prayers and teach the Qur'an, fostering spiritual growth and moral integrity within society. These contributions should not be overlooked or undervalued.

Rather than engaging in a blame game, Rijal al-Haqq urges everyone to focus on nation-building. We must work together to uplift our region, as we have already fallen behind our neighboring Muslim communities. We strongly encourage the issuer of the original statement to reconsider and retract their remarks, and to join us in fostering unity and progress in BARMM.

While there may be extraordinary circumstances where public displays of worship are used to encourage others, this approach can be a double-edged sword. It carries the risk of compromising your sincerity. As-Salaf aṣ-Ṣāliḥ (the righteous predecessors), were very cautious when performing acts of worship, even if aiming to inspire others. In most cases, they would simply admit their limitations, fearing riya’ (showing off for worldly gain) and the potential to taint their good deeds. Riya’ is a gateway to shirk (associating partners with Allāh).

The moment you post your acts of worship on social media seeking likes, reactions, or approval, you enter dangerous territory. You might unknowingly harbor riya’ in your heart or feel superior to others, as if your piety surpasses theirs. This puts you in a very precarious position.

As-Salaf aṣ-Ṣāliḥ, despite their unwavering commitment to worship, remained far from publicizing their good deeds. They were, after all, known as Allāh’s friends. If such pious individuals exercised such caution, how much more important is it for us, with our inherent shortcomings, to do the same? May Allāh guide our intentions and purify our hearts.
