CALOOCAN CITY, June 6 (PIA) The plight of 1.3 million “Filipinos” – who were born, raised and live in Sabah but have not been recognized by the Malaysian Government, and therefore remain illegal aliens – has been brought to the attention of National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) Commissioner and Yes for Peace-Bayanihan ng Bayan (YFP-BNB) Secretary-General Yusoph J. Mando, who then personally pledged to alleviate their condition.
Datu Mudarasulail Kiram, after earlier volunteering to head the YFP-BNB in Sulu, Basilan and Tawi-Tawi, brought the problem to the attention of Comm. Mando because the majority of those concerned are Muslim Filipinos.
