    The Editor
    sir,
    Please check your label captions it is the group of moro national liberation front ( MNLF) NOT the moro islamic liberation front
    ( MILF ) they are two (2) different groups likewise please change moro islamic liberation front TO moro national liberation front on your headline it is the effort of the moro national liberation front who are now in place in patikul sulu working on for the rescue operation of the kidnap victim held by the abu sayyap in patikul, sulu. It is highly important that you should make immediate corrections on this matter to avoid confusion of the two fronts.
    we will check every now then if actions/corrections has been done.

    Thank you and more power.
