"Elements within the two main insurgent groups, the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), continue to pose a security threat. A splinter group of the MILF, the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF), has also been responsible for attacks."

I'll just leave that there

The Moro Islamic Liberation Front and the Islamic Front for the Liberation of Moro are always fighting each other. The Front for the Islamic People of Moro are the main problem though.

I googled MILF gif thinking (innocently or naively) that the scene from American Pie would come up. Turns out we don't have a filter at work. I saw some things.

Public service really, people need to be warned that MILF and BIFF are both potentially dangerous. No other reason.
