By 2001 Mindanao was a haven for a shifting alliance of Islamic groups dominated by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), Jemaah Islamiyah and Abu Sayyaf — the latter two Al Qaeda affiliates. In December that year Jemaah Islamiyah plotted an attack on the U.S. embassy in Singapore, but Singaporean authorities intervened.

To stay on topic, what exactly is the difference between a MILF and a cougar?
Except for the southern areas, I'd easily spend time and money in the Philippines over Mexico with regard to how safe I'd feel.Quote:

I personally believe that a new classification of 'Mougar' be created in order to properly categorize the cougar MILF.
Do a little research on how the insurgency finances itself via kidnapping of foreigners for ransom and determine how long you like captivity in the jungle before opting for that choice. Americans have gotten snatched as far North as Batangas as well as over on Palawan at luxury resorts. But, that's just my take - .30-06 rounds knocking out windows at dinner time tends to make an impression , if someone unrelated to me wants to go to the Philippines, go for it. Might as well take in a canoe ride down from Pagsanjan while there...probably one of the more enjoyable "nature" days within driving distance of Makati where most visitors tend to stay.Quote:

Mindanao is a place you can get away with murder. I have seen a few dead bodies from these "rebels" doings in my past. Beautiful place, but to corrupted for me.
Irony.. That's where the Christians bought and smuggled ak47 from...to Ambon to fight the jihadists.
Google it.Quote:

MILF - you're the hunter
Cougar - she's the huntress
A MILF is someone you want, a cougar is someone who wants you. You may want the milf but she may not want you. A cougar may want you but you might not want her. Its all perspective, and who is doing the chasing.Quote:
