Explanation

The Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) was founded in 1972 and has been the primary Islamist separatist movement operating in the southern Philippines (Mindanao region). The group employed guerrilla tactics and terrorism in their fight for independence or autonomy for the Moro people. While the MNLF signed a peace agreement with the Philippine government in 1996, they were the major separatist movement active in the region during that period. The other options listed are not Philippines-based groups.
