00:15 Following the President's order to call for the separation of Mindanao from the Philippines,
00:26 congressmen and personalities pushed to stop their marches.
00:33 According to Lanao del Sur First District Representative Sia Alonto Adjong,
00:38 not only is the law against Mindanao,
00:40 but also the fact that it is being pushed to the point of secession
00:44 and that this kind of discussion should not be allowed.
00:47 In addition, Mindanao has a sufficient representation in the government
00:51 that proves that the region is not being ignored, so it is only right to stop the unification of the country.
00:59 Among the supporters of the separation of Mindanao from the Philippines,
01:03 former President Rodrigo Duterte and former House Speaker and now Davao del Norte First District Representative Pantaleon Alvarez.
01:11 OneRider Partylist Representative Roj Gutierrez surprised him,
01:15 especially after Duterte's term and he did not have such a plan before.
01:20 Gutierrez was eager to stop Duterte and Alvarez from their marches
01:25 so that it would not cause more trouble.
01:27 According to the Union First District Representative Francisco Paulo Ortega,
01:32 it will only bring more chaos to the unification and revival that should be the focus of attention now.
