No time for Mindanao?

Towards the end of the forum "Paminaw Mindanao," Amina Rasul, one of the the forum's convenors, gave a summary of Gibo's, JC's, Perlas's, and Villanueva's plans for Mindanao.

There is, however, a trace of disappointment in Rasul's voice. And she expressed the same sentiment in her column:
Unfortunately, of the nine presidential candidates, only Secretary Gilbert Teodoro, Brother Eddie Villanueva, Coun-cilor JC de los Reyes and independent candidate Nicky Perlas came. The others were no shows, perhaps clearly indicating that Mindanao is not a critical component of their campaigns (although they did come to dialogue with Pastor Quiboloy, the “appointed son of God”). [Emphasis mine]

The Five Men who were no shows at the forum, is Mindanao really not a "critical component of your campaigns," is it?
