With or without the crescent in the Philippine Flag; Bangsamoro shall not be effaced from World History

"Legislators via a Senate Bill in 2009  proposed to add a *9th ray to the sun; while FVR proposed a crescent be added to the Philippine flag: will these suffice to illuminate the history of the Bangsamoro in the national fabric?"

Anyway, let's give credit to FVR, he has great talent both in linear symbols and in astronomy; add up to that historical and cultural sense and sensitivity. A for effort #FVR! Unfortunately, whatever he adds in the RP flag-we do not own its fabric; alhamdulillaah it is NOT our fabric :) [and not our balcony!]

Well, with or without the CRESCENT in the Philippine flag, the Bangsamoro people exist, shall continue to exist in world history as freedom fighters who staunchly defended homeland territory, race, and Islam.

Muslim Tausug mobile journalist (MoJo) and professional physiotherapist Al Madzhar J. Ahmadul wrote a provocative feature

The Sun in the Philippine Flag fails to Illuminate Bangsamoro History

in his Think Out Loud blog which resulted in a cerebral pyrotechnical explosion that jolted distilled historical memories, so to speak.

Here's my pyrotechnic display:

• 1. Well, for one, Moros did fight and quell the Spaniards
  to the point that Moros were not conscripted for polo (forced labor)
  and were not subjected to tax (encomienda); instead, the Spaniards paid tributary tax to the Sulu Sultanate;
  
  2. Well, they know the Moros too well enough to understand fully that Moros are freedom fighters and not merely Katipuneros; there lies the critical difference!  Unlike the 8 provinces symbolized by the 8 rays in the Philippine flag, the Moro revolution against the Spaniards did not start in 1896; thus, the Bangsamoro cannot be represented by a 9th ray.
  
  3. You and I knew what happened but tragically qadarullaahi most of the netbies aka selfies are strangers to their own history; may they join the legion of SELFIES for PEACE as Citizens Journalist
  in shaa ALLAH!
  
  4. It was destined that even HISTORY want to RECTIFY the FALSEHOOD
  by PRESERVING the TRUTH; and HISTORY alhamdulillaah did this
  successfully by WRITING US OFF from Philippine history because
  we are not and were not intrinsically part of it;
  the deletion is a blessing!
  
  5. A simulation of assimilation; and it cannot accommodate because it is not a host but the destructive parasite, so to speak.
  
  6. Me neither! "...don't expect me to raise the Philippine Flag soon in my balcony to celebrate Philippine Independence simply....because I DO NOT HAVE A BALCONY!
