MANILA, Philippines -- Cavite 4th District Rep. Francisco Barzaga has pushed for the secession of Mindanao Island, saying that the Marcos Administration has become biased towards the National Capital Region (NCR). In a video statement on his Facebook page on Friday, Barzaga said that as Mindanao was the second largest island in the country, their interests should not be ignored or be considered as "less important" than those in Luzon. "And with the recent flood control anomalies being traced back to the residences of corrupt politicians in the NCR, the interest for Mindanao's secession has gradually increased," Barzaga said. He said that Mindanao was "capable" of being self-sufficient as an independent nation with their abundant natural resources and competent labor force. Barzaga also noted that the "corrupt national government" taxing Mindanao citizens for the benefit of Luzon politicians was "upsetting" to its citizens. "I can sympathize with their anger. As a representative from Cavite, it disgusts me that their government funds for developing provinces like ours are being funneled by Congress into the pockets of corrupt politicians that reside in exclusive subdivisions in the National Capital Region, like Forbes Park and Dasmarinas Village," Barzaga said. Barzaga has said that he planned to file an impeachment complaint against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for betrayal of public trust and culpable violation of the Constitution due to the flood control scandal.
