President Aquino called on the followers of the Sulu Sultan who are holed up in Lahad Datu, Sabah to stand down and return to Sulu.
In a statement broadcast live at the government TV station, the President said that he had ordered an investigation to determine whether any laws have been violated by the acts of the Sultan’s followers.
He said that the grievances of the Sultan of Sulu are being addressed and the impression that the Palace had ignored his letter to the President a few months ago was misplaced.

PeNoy said: ” If you choose not to cooperate, the full force of the laws of the state will be used to achieve justice for all who have been put in harm’s way.”
What in the world was he saying? Does he want to arrest the Sultan in Manila and his relatives in Lahad Datu? Is that what full force of the law means? Or will he ask Malaysia or even assist Malaysia in arresting or killing the recalcitrant Tausugs?
