Today I found out about the Moro Islamic Liberation Front from news articles around the place.
Lt. Gen. Cardozo M. Luna, vice chief of staff of the AFP, said seven barangays were cleared of MILF bandits out of 15 barangays reportedly occupied since last Saturday.
Some 300 MILF rebels attacked village of Tipo-Tipo Poblacion and torched some houses.
“Unless the MILF renegades will comply to leave peacefully, we shall continue with our clearing operations. Amid our intensified operations, we will not compromise the lives of the civilians residing in the affected areas,” Yano told a news conference in Camp Aguinaldo.
Oh dear. I mean, that’s serious (and kind of horrific) news, and I honestly don’t mean to make light of the situation, but jeez guys. There had to be a better acronym.

Maybe they were named before the whole American Pie thing, and had their name ruined. I feel sorry for them.
Like Harry Potter, that old guy who would report for the Channel 7 news.
