Who is this man? He is known as Atty. Emmanuel Fontanilla. He calls himself the Official Spokesman of the Moro National Liberation Front. When Hon. Sec. Manuel Roxas III visited Zamboanga, he was interviewed by media together with the honorable secretary. What is his real role and standing in the MNLF? Does Chairman Misuari Nur owe his life to this man who lays claim to MNLF as if it was his own turf? Presumably, he must have been baptized into Islam; even if so, what real clout does he have with that mammoth organization of armed fighters that even with firearms they would not lift a finger to shut his mouth?

Despite the danger of escalating tensions towards full-scale war, certain shady individuals are goading both parties enmeshed in the hostilities and appear to be the ones who organized the hostage-taking as well as the burning of entire villages in Zamboanga.
Captured persons alleged to be members of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) confessed to interrogators that they were not ordered to participate in a war.
Before jumping off from Basilan into Zamboanga-bound bancas (small sea vessels commonly used by fishermen), they were told to support the prayer rally - educational assembly or teach-in against the pork barrel at the EDSA Shrine in Ortigas by holding a similar rally in Zamboanga City. Read more from here.

So much for the MNLF Spokesman saying that the rebels fighting government forces are fake MNLF fighters. After a few days, upon the arrival of Sec. Manuel Roxas and Sec. Voltaire Gazmin, the Spokesman's brain experienced a turn around and his mouth was shooting off statements to the effect that Chairman Nur Misuari owned up to the planning of the hostage-taking and now the burning of villages in Zamboanga City.

All is not fair in love and war.
